Warm-up
Talk about these questions with your teacher.
선생님과 이야기해 보세요.
- When you read a long email or message, do you read every word or just skim it? Why do you think hiring managers feel the same way about cover letters?
긴 이메일이나 메시지를 받으면 모든 단어를 다 읽나요, 아니면 훑어보나요? 채용 담당자도 커버레터를 읽을 때 같은 마음일 거라고 생각하나요? - If you only had three sentences to convince someone to hire you, what would you say?
만약 딱 세 문장으로 자신을 채용해 달라고 설득해야 한다면, 어떤 말을 하시겠어요?

Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
❌ I am writing this letter to apply for the position and I have many years of experience in this field and I believe I would be a great fit for your company because I am hardworking and dedicated.
✅ I am writing to apply for the Marketing Manager position. With five years of experience in digital marketing, I am confident I can contribute to your team.
한국어는 하나의 긴 문장에 여러 내용을 연결하는 것이 자연스럽지만, 영어 커버레터에서는 짧고 명확한 문장이 훨씬 효과적입니다. 'and'로 계속 이어 붙이지 말고, 핵심 내용만 간결하게 두세 문장으로 나누어 쓰세요. 채용 담당자는 수백 통의 지원서를 읽기 때문에, 짧고 강렬한 문장이 더 좋은 인상을 줍니다.
