Cover Letter

Dear sir/madam, I am writing to apply as the program coordinator for IES Abroad. As a program coordinator, I would bring my communication, ownership and problem-solving skills to assist the team's needs and make sure the operation process in the programs run smoothly as well. In addition, I would make sure the students feel supported in their programs and I would make sure the programs run smoothly. Moreover, my international background gives me cross-functional skills that are needed for a fast-paced environment. I believe my customer service minded and detailed yet multitasked personality will fit as the position as the program coordinator at IES Abroad. My previous experience at Smart CMS helped me develop problem-solving skills. I was responsible for making sure more than 60 CEOs attended a game event hosted by the Smart CMS. I communicated with each of the CEOs via phone calls and emails by listening carefully and solving their inquiries, such as finding out the unexpressed needs and negotiating to provide the best solutions for the clients. I also used my linguistic skills to overcome cultural barriers and distinguish how to speak at different times. I would like to use my language and problem-solving skills to understand the needs of the team and the students. Also, I would make sure the communications between different teams are addressed well and so that the students are updated with any information. I would also like to make sure the team and the students are well supported. Furthermore, I have strong ownership of my work. Whilst working as an administrator at Yonsei University, I was in charge of making a new contract at Coursera for Yonsei's new educational business platform. This required negotiation with Coursera as well as constant communication with Coursera's legal team and director of Coursera Asia division. I was also responsible for the content management of Yonsei's new platform. My detail-oriented personality helped me identify which contents were missing and which needed uploading. My role included constant reporting to the upper management and communication with Coursera for any updates. At Hill + Knowlton (Synergy), I used my creativity to make brands appealing on the online platforms including Youtube, TikTok, Instagram and Facebook. I was responsible for putting up images and contents, as well as managing consumers' needs and responding to consumers' feedback. I developed marketing ideas to promote LG G8X to the advertising company. I drafted 2-3 advertising stories and planned out marketing campaign events as part of my project. This required cross-collaboration skills with the marketing, advertising team. I consistently communicated with my team members and most of all, focused on the LG client's needs so that their ideas and inquiries are fulfilled through our team. I would like to fulfill any uncertain inquiries that come up in the team and make sure the programs are communicated well. In addition, as a program coordinator, I would make sure any member or potential student member coming into our program would feel welcomed, well informed and excited about the program. In addition, I would make sure their needs are addressed well and so that the program runs smoothly. I strongly believe that my dream of connecting people of different countries aligns closely with understanding how the language is smooth and is conveyed so that there are no cultural barriers between translated documents. My experience at Turkey, Kuwait and Egypt for 18 years has given me the flexibility in both language and culture to operate successfully in many different contexts, as this required speaking in English, French and Arabic, in addition to Korean. Through my experience at Smart CMS, Yonsei University, and Hill + Knowlton (Synergy), I used my communication skills in both written and verbal are necessary for the position as an editor and proofreader. In addition, I am confident that I can bring my skills to best fit and make sure I am a support to the team and that the programs run smoothly and efficiently as well. I am enclosing my resume; please do not hesitate to contact me should you be interested in my skills. Yours sincerely, Hyun Min Lee

Born in Turkey, lived there for 10 years, Kuwait for 4 years and Egypt for 4 years

I was privileged to have been born in Turkey thanks to my father's occupation, which was a Taekwondo National Team Coach for Turkey, Kuwait, and Egypt. As I lived abroad, I was able to be exposed to different cultures and therefore learned to adapt at different environments. Most of all, I learned to cooperate with people from different backgrounds, languages and characters. I would like to use my language, interpersonal and organizational skills to help people reach out their potential and would like to use my skills so that the company's vision is accomplished as well.
