Mr. Archie Weatherby
California Investments, Inc.
25 Sacramento Street
San Francisco, CA 94102
Dear Mr. Weatherby,
My outgoing personality, my sales experience, and my recently completed education make me a strong candidate for a position as an insurance broker for California Investments, Inc.
I recently graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in marketing, where I was president of both the Future Business Leaders of America and the American Marketing Association.
Although a recent graduate, I am not a typical new graduate. I attended school in Michigan, Arizona, and Oregon. And I've put myself through these schools by working such jobs as radio advertising sales, newspaper subscription sales, and bartending, all of which enhanced my formal education.
I have the maturity, skills, and abilities to embark on a career in insurance brokering, and I'd like to do this in California, my home state.
I will be in California at the end of this month, and I'd like very much to talk with you concerning a position at California Investments. I will follow up this letter with a phone call to see if I can arrange a time to meet with you.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
John Oakley
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "졸업된" 또는 "졸업한 상태이다"처럼 표현하기 때문에 영어에서도 "I am graduated"라고 쓰는 실수를 자주 합니다. 영어에서 graduate는 능동태 동사이므로 "I graduated from ~"이 올바른 표현입니다. 커버레터에서 학력을 소개할 때 이 실수를 하면 전문성이 떨어져 보일 수 있으니 꼭 주의하세요.
