Experience and Qualifications
Work experience is by far the most important topic of any job interview (at least in the United States and Britain). Therefore, it is important to explain what experience you have in detail. Generally, employers want to know exactly what you did and how well you accomplished your tasks. This is not the time to be modest. Be confident, and talk freely about your accomplishments in past employment.
The tenses you should use are the following:
When talking about current employment be careful to use the present perfect or present perfect continuous. This signals that you are still performing these tasks at your current job, for example:
Smith and Co. have employed me for the last 3 years as a salesperson. I have been creating customer contacts for 6months. Etc.
When talking about past employers use the past tenses to signal that you are no longer working for that company, for example:
I was employed by Jackson's from 1989 to 1992 as a clerk. I worked as a receptionist at the Ritz while I was living in New York. Etc.
Korean Trap! / 한국인 실수 교정
Common mistakes Korean speakers make.
한국인이 자주 하는 실수를 알아봅시다.
한국어에서는 "삼성에서 일했다"처럼 장소 조사 '에서'를 쓰기 때문에, 영어에서도 'in'을 쓰는 실수가 잦습니다. 하지만 회사명 앞에는 전치사 at을 사용해야 합니다. 'in'은 부서나 분야(I worked in the marketing department)에 쓰이고, 특정 회사 이름 앞에서는 항상 at을 써야 자연스럽습니다.
한국어에는 현재완료 시제가 없어서, 과거부터 지금까지 계속되는 경험을 말할 때 현재 시제를 쓰는 실수를 자주 합니다. 'since'나 'for'와 함께 현재까지 이어지는 경력을 말할 때는 반드시 현재완료(have worked) 또는 현재완료진행형(have been working)을 사용하세요. 면접에서 현재 직장 경력을 말할 때 특히 중요한 포인트입니다.
