Education
Remember that your education took place in the past. Therefore you need to use the past tenses, for example:
I attended the University of Helsinki from 1987 to 1993.
I graduated with a degree in agricultural planning.
Etc.
If you are currently a student you should use the following present tenses:
I am currently studying at the University of New York and will graduate with a degree in Economics in the spring.
I am studying English at the Borough Community College.
Etc.
Remember to include any training you may have had when talking about your education. This includes any computer training, correspondence courses, etc. Make sure to mention your English studies. This is very important as English is not your first language and the employer may be concerned about this fact. Assure the employer that you are continuing to improve your English skills by any courses you may be taking, or by saying that you study a certain number of hours a week to improve your skills.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "대학교를 졸업했다"처럼 목적어를 바로 붙이지만, 영어에서 graduate는 자동사이므로 반드시 전치사 from이 필요합니다. 면접에서 학력을 말할 때 "I graduated from + 학교명"으로 말해야 자연스럽고 정확한 표현입니다.
이미 졸업한 경우에는 과거 시제를 사용해야 합니다. "My major is"는 현재 재학 중일 때만 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. 면접에서 학력을 설명할 때는 과거형인 "I majored in ~" 또는 "I graduated with a degree in ~"을 사용하세요.
한국어에서는 "대학에 입학했다(entered)"라는 표현을 자주 쓰지만, 영어 면접에서는 입학보다 재학 기간 전체를 나타내는 attended나 studied at을 사용하는 것이 훨씬 자연스럽습니다. 재학 기간도 함께 언급하면 더 좋습니다.
