I'm pretty happy with what we have done so far in class! Today, I asked you to spend some time to think about what kind of job you'd like to have in the future! I know this is a difficult step but it will help make it easier for you to write a resume (and prepare for an interview) later. Also, if will help you focus on what jobs to apply for which (believe me) will save you a lot of time and energy!
I also think the job profile websites we talked about in class will help you understand what kind of job matches you. We talked about the kinds of benefits companies might offer which should also help you in your job search. Good luck "finding a focus".

Week 1
Hi!
It was nice to meet all of you today and I'm really looking forward to teaching Employment English this semester. I realize finding a job in Korea is very difficult these days so I will do my best to help each of you prepare for not only an English interview but also show you how to write a coherent English resume (+ cover letter).
Hopefully, by the end of the semester you will be more confident about your skills and will be able to successfully enter the work world.
By reading this blog, you will be able to keep up to date on everything that's going on in my class. In this blog, I will also give you directions about how to use my website and other multimedia. Today, I would like to post my first video here to show you how to sign up for my website. I know many of you are good at using computers, so if some of your classmates need help, please help them.
My second video shows you how to upload a picture and introduce yourself on my website. To view the link please click here.
If you have any problems, please come to my office for assistance.
