Practice English with your teacher
Warm-up
Talk about these questions with your teacher.
선생님과 이야기해 보세요.
- Have you ever sent a thank you letter after a job interview? Why or why not?
면접 후에 감사 편지를 보낸 적이 있나요? 그 이유는 무엇인가요? - Why do you think less than 10% of job candidates send thank you letters after interviews?
면접 후 감사 편지를 보내는 지원자가 10%도 안 되는 이유가 무엇이라고 생각하나요?
Vocabulary
Listen and repeat after your teacher.
선생님을 따라 읽어보세요.
Reading
Read the passage with your teacher.
선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
You have put together the resume, the cover letter and gone through the interview - congratulations! Don't stop now - there is at least one more step before you are through. The thank you letter can not be neglected in today's competitive market. You need an edge over the other candidates and you can increase your chance of being hired by writing them - by marketing yourself to the school districts one more time. The bottom line is that less than 10% of interviewees ever follow-up interviews with thank you letters. If you do, you rise that much higher to the top of the candidate pool.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서 "감사드리고 싶습니다"를 직역하면 "I want to say thank you"라고 하기 쉽지만, 이는 격식 있는 감사 편지에서는 너무 캐주얼하게 들립니다. 비즈니스 서신에서는 "I would like to thank you" 또는 "Thank you for~"와 같이 보다 정중한 표현을 사용해야 합니다. 특히 면접 후 감사 편지에서는 전문적인 어조가 매우 중요합니다.
