Warm-up
Talk about these questions with your teacher.
선생님과 이야기해 보세요.
- If you were a recent college graduate with little work experience, what strengths or activities would you highlight in a cover letter?
만약 직장 경험이 거의 없는 대학 졸업생이라면, 커버레터에서 어떤 강점이나 활동을 강조하시겠어요? - In the sample letter, the writer mentions "wearing a number of hats." Have you ever had a job or role where you had to handle many different tasks at once?
예문에서 지원자는 "여러 역할을 동시에 맡았다"고 표현했는데, 여러 가지 업무를 동시에 처리해야 했던 경험이 있으신가요?

Mr. Henry Fouche
Best Plans Publicity, Inc.

Dear Mr. Fouche,
Nancy Jones of Green & Associates Advertising, suggested I contact you regarding the possible public relations opening in your firm.
As an editor/writer for Alexandria's city magazine, I've developed my talent and experience as a public relations writer. Because the staff is very small, I've worn a number of hats, including: developing the editorial format and individual story concepts, writing numerous articles, editing copy, laying out the magazine, and supervising production.
Prior to my current position, I was highly involved in the public relations industry, working for Jones & Jones, where I prepared numerous press releases and media guides, as well as managing several major direct mail campaigns.
My high degree of motivation has been recognized by my previous employers who have quickly promoted me to positions of greater responsibility. I was promoted from assistant editor to editor of Alexandria Monthly after only five months.
I am eager to talk with you about the contribution I could make to your firm. I will call you the week of April 25th to see if we can find a mutual time and date to get together and discuss the possibility.
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
Cordially,
Mary Davison
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "지원하다"가 목적어를 바로 취하지만, 영어에서 apply는 반드시 전치사 for와 함께 씁니다. 커버레터에서 "apply the position"이라고 쓰면 문법 오류로 첫인상이 나빠질 수 있으니, 꼭 "apply for the position"으로 써야 합니다.
