In this blog post, we will learn how to naturally and convincingly demonstrate leadership and responsibility in a management self-introduction letter. We will also introduce some practical examples.

 

Growth

“Brothers who complement each other”
My father, who worked as a social welfare officer for over 20 years, always emphasized the importance of sharing with neighbors. Growing up with a younger brother, we were a rowdy pair who fought whenever we had the chance, but we never missed a weekend visiting elderly people living alone, following in our father’s footsteps. The elderly people receiving government support were in a better situation, but I learned from an early age that there were many elderly people living alone who were not eligible for government support due to legal restrictions, and helping them became a matter of course for me.
My mother was a kindergarten teacher, so I was able to stay with her until I entered elementary school. However, once I started school, I remember missing my parents, who both worked. My parents often told me to take good care of my younger brother because I was the eldest son, but as children, my brother and I were only a year apart, and we fought a lot out of jealousy for our parents’ love.
I was very competitive and liked to be the center of attention. So, in elementary school, I played soccer and was the class president. I was an active and energetic child, so I always got a lot of attention from my teachers and classmates.
However, when I was in the fourth grade, I broke my nose while playing soccer. My sister cried all day and wouldn’t let go of my hand. After I was discharged from the hospital and recovered, my sister followed me around, buying my favorite snacks, and I finally realized how important my family was to me. Through my sister, I learned the meaning of brotherly love, and we became brothers with a deep friendship that our friends envied. To my sister, I was a proud soccer player, and to me, she was like a warm-hearted little sister. Since she was young, she has been a generous child with a big heart, and she has always been a role model for me, who was very competitive. My sister, who takes after my father’s personality, has been a reliable friend and a mirror for me throughout my life.

 

School life and extracurricular activities

“Brothers and Friends”
As I went through adolescence, I became very interested in human relationships and social phenomena. That interest motivated me to major in sociology in college. While studying sociology, I became interested in groups and organizations, and I studied human resource management (HRM) with great interest.
The activity I did most during college was volunteering with my younger brother and friends to help elderly people living alone. We didn’t give our group a name, nor did we make a special effort to hold regular meetings, but my friends and my brother’s friends joined us in helping elderly people living alone, which was something I had been doing with my brother since childhood, following in my father’s footsteps. Although it was not intentional, as this activity became regular, we naturally divided up the roles. I exercised the leadership skills I had developed since childhood to lead and manage the entire group, identifying areas where help was needed and assigning tasks to each member. My brother played the role of running between the elderly and the volunteers to solve problems and comfort those in need. This group continues to this day under the unofficial name “Brothers and Friends.”
The most memorable activity was volunteering to help with recovery efforts after Typhoon Bolaven in 2012. One of my friends who participated in activities to help elderly people living alone was from Naju, Jeollanam-do Province, and when we heard that his parents, who were pear farmers, had suffered severe damage from the typhoon, all of us went to Naju. We stayed in Naju for a week, helping with everything from repairing houses to restoring crops in our friend’s neighborhood. We cleaned houses that had been muddied by floodwaters, washed broken furniture and appliances, and helped dry and disinfect them in the sun to prevent the spread of germs. We collected all the fallen apples from the pear orchard, advertised them on the department bulletin board, and sold them. With the help of our seniors and juniors in the department, we were able to give the proceeds to our friend’s parents, although it wasn’t a large amount.
It was a situation where recovery was not easy due to the enormous damage, but I still remember the warmth I felt from the hands of my friend’s parents and the village elders, who told us that they felt as if they had gained ten sons and thanked us profusely.

 

Strengths and weaknesses

“Natural leadership”
I have excellent leadership skills and am good at guiding people. I was the leader of my neighborhood gang since I was a child. The adults in my neighborhood often told me that I was a well-spoken child. Thanks to my father, who was a social worker, I grew up to be a well-behaved child. Even when I was in school, I was always the center of attention and served as class president, demonstrating exceptional leadership skills while always receiving support from my friends. This was all thanks to my father, who taught me to be humble.
Thanks to playing soccer in elementary school, I have a competitive spirit. So when I have a goal, I am determined to achieve it with strong mental strength and concentration. Nevertheless, I was always liked and supported by my friends because I learned consideration from my younger brother, who supported me with a heart as vast as the Pacific Ocean.
Sharing, consideration, and humility have become values that express my attitude toward life.

 

Motivation for applying and aspirations

“Ah, Phil! The driving force behind the foundation’s development.”
I first learned about the Korea Phil Medical Foundation thanks to a friend who took a DNA test. My best friend was the victim of a rare medical accident at a hospital. When I was in high school, I learned that I had been switched at birth, and I was informed that my parents who raised me were not my biological parents. The DNA test results my friend showed me were from the Korea Medical Foundation. At the time, I thought, “So there’s an organization in Korea that does DNA testing, which I’ve seen a lot in American TV dramas,” and that memory stayed with me for quite a long time.
When I saw your job posting, I couldn’t help but exclaim, “Ah, Phil!” The Korea Medical Foundation is a clinical research institute that not only provides basic blood tests, chemical tests, serum tests, microbiological tests, urine tests, and cell and tissue pathology tests for general hospitals and clinics quickly and accurately, but also conducts tissue compatibility genotyping tests required for organ transplants and bone marrow transplants, DNA chip tests for cancer and virus diagnosis, etc. on the largest scale in Korea.
I believe that managing professional talent is of utmost importance for the Korea Medical Foundation, a trusted testing agency with the best testing facilities and professional personnel, to grow into an even more solid professional organization. In my position of great responsibility, I will faithfully carry out my duties, manage and support our employees, and contribute to the Korea Medical Foundation’s leap forward to become the largest and best clinical pathology testing center in Korea in terms of both quality and quantity.
I believe that the company and its employees can achieve individual and collective growth by sharing the same goals and aligning the development of the company with that of the individual. I will immediately address any shortcomings as a manager and deliver the results expected by the foundation through fast and accurate work.
