Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정

Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.

❌ I am writing to apply for the position. I really, really want this job so much!
✅ I am writing to express my sincere interest in the position of Marketing Manager at your company.

한국어에서는 열정을 강조하기 위해 감정적인 표현을 자주 사용하지만, 영어 커버레터에서는 격식 있는 표현이 필수입니다. "really, really"처럼 구어체를 쓰거나 감탄문을 쓰면 비전문적으로 보입니다. 대신 "sincere interest", "strong enthusiasm"과 같은 격식체 표현을 사용하세요.
