When do I need to send a thank you letter/email?
You should send a thank you letter after an informal or formal interview, company visit, or other career exploration activity. In addition, we recommend sending a thank you letter when someoneprovides you with job search assistance such as referring you to an employer, providing a network provides you with job search assistance such as referring you to an employer, providing a network contact, or speaking on your behalf to a prospective employer. Bottom line, when in doubt - send a thank you letter there is nothing wrong with being over courteous.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "면접 기회를 주셔서 감사합니다"라고 간단히 말하지만, 영어에서는 관사(the)와 올바른 어순이 중요합니다. "interview opportunity"처럼 명사를 나열하지 말고, "the opportunity to interview"처럼 관사를 넣고 to 부정사를 사용하는 것이 자연스럽습니다.
