Main ideas / lessons from the video

  • Selection isn’t based only on having an impressive resume. Applicants are screened using a document filtering process, so your self-introduction (“자소서”) must be written to directly answer what the company is trying to verify.

  • Every question has an evaluation intent and criteria. For self-introduction prompts (e.g., collaboration questions), the company isn’t only asking whether you’ve done teamwork. It wants evidence of:

    • how you communicated with people holding different opinions
    • how you acted when conflicts/problems arose
    • how you will work with different people after joining
  • Don’t write “impressive-sounding” experiences that don’t match the question. Even if your experience is strong, if it doesn’t answer the prompt’s intent/criteria, it becomes a “confession” that fails screening.

  • Answer with a conclusion-first structure and prove it with your own experience.

    • Start from the conclusion
    • Follow the format implied by the question (begin with the first sentence as the prompt suggests)
    • Use your specific actions and results as proof Otherwise, the reviewer may think you can’t properly answer the question, leading to being filtered out.
  • Analyze the job, company, and industry—so your self-introduction shows fit.

    • Many applicants write generic lines (e.g., “a growing global company,” “best technology”) that could apply to anyone.
    • What matters is connecting what the company needs with what you have. Suggested sources/checks:

    • company website: key business areas and direction

    • recruiting/experience announcements: what the business actually does
    • IR materials / evidence reports: where the company plans to invest and expand
  • Make the “connection” for the role (support unit framing). Core logic:

    A (your strength/experience) → C (how you’ll work) to achieve B (what the company needs)

Avoid vague motivations like:

- “I like cars”
- “I want to work at a global company”

These don’t prove job capability or hiring value.

  • Use a concrete example of connecting experience to company needs. Example given:

    • You improved process ratios using data analysis
    • The company values production efficiency and quality calculations
    • Therefore, you will explain how you’ll use your specific data analysis to improve productivity/quality after joining

3-step method for writing (embroidery line / self-introduction)

  1. Identify question difficulty + evaluation criteria

    • Determine what the company is trying to verify
    • Organize experiences that prove those criteria
  2. Analyze the job, company, and industry

    • Identify what the company needs
    • Use company materials to understand real directions and investment/expansion plans
    • Purpose of analysis: not to praise, but to connect needs with your experience
  3. Connect your experience to what the company needs

    • Show a clear linkage:
      • what you did (A)
      • how you’ll apply it (C)
      • to meet the company’s needs (B)

Additional guidance for failing the self-introduction

If you keep failing, check in this order:

  1. Does your self-introduction properly answer the question?
  2. Does your experience actually prove the stated criteria?
  3. Does your experience connect to the specific company/role needs?

Only after fixing these should you consider making sentences “more impressive.”


Final takeaway emphasized

What matters isn’t having experience for its own sake, but showing:

  • why your experience is necessary for this question
  • why it’s necessary for the specific job
