Third Artifact

[James Kim]

-For my third artifact, I decided to improve my speaking skills in the business environment. For this exercise, I found a video of interviews for a prestigious hotel position in South Korea. Being someone who has gone through the interview process with several accounting firms, I was able to figure out the differences between interviewing for a job in Korea and in America. One thing I noticed right away was how formal Korean candidates are when interviewing for positions. In the US, especially in accounting, interviewees are looking for casual conversations to get to know the candidates better in a casual setting. However, this particular Korean candidate sounded very formal and a bit tense compared to interviewees in America. By watching this video, I learned how to structure my sentences in a way for the interviewer to understand my better. Organization was a key factor in a lot of the responses by this interviewee. I feel like Korean candidates like to use lists and organize their responses to put emphases in their answers. I have attached the video below.
