당연하다고 생각해

 

"I assume it's natural"

I assume it's natural for people to feel nervous before an interview.

I think communication skills are something that naturally comes with being human.

 

introduce myself

I’m currently a job seeker with a strong commitment to becoming a dedicated nurse.

Previously, I worked as a research nurse focused on clinical trials for cancer patients. It was a challenging role, and I often worked overtime, but it taught me a lot about resilience, teamwork, and patient care. This experience has made me even more passionate about nursing, and I’m eager to apply my skills in a hospital setting.

Lately, I’ve been focusing on improving my physical fitness and stress management by taking up yoga and Pilates, which helps me stay balanced and energized. I’m excited to bring this positive mindset into my future career as a nurse.

 

"Financial responsibility"

 

refers to managing money in a way that is careful, thoughtful, and sustainable. It involves understanding and controlling personal or organizational finances to meet current and future needs without falling into debt or financial hardship.

Key aspects of financial responsibility include:

1. Budgeting: Planning income and expenses to avoid overspending.
2. Saving: Setting aside funds for future needs, emergencies, or goals.
3. Avoiding Debt: Limiting debt to manageable levels and understanding the long-term impact of borrowing.
4. Investing Wisely: Making informed choices about investments to grow wealth responsibly.
5. Prioritizing Needs Over Wants: Spending on essential items and avoiding unnecessary purchases.

Practicing financial responsibility allows individuals and organizations to make secure and well-informed decisions, build stability, and prepare for future opportunities or challenges. It’s essential for achieving financial goals and maintaining peace of mind regarding finances.

 

"Core values" 

 

are the fundamental beliefs and guiding principles that shape an individual's or organization’s actions, decisions, and interactions. They serve as the foundation for behavior, culture, and goals, acting as a compass for maintaining integrity and consistency.

Core values often include aspects like:

1. Integrity: Being honest and ethical, and staying true to promises and commitments.
2. Respect: Valuing others, embracing diversity, and treating people with kindness and consideration.
3. Excellence: Striving for the highest quality in every task, continuously improving and setting high standards.
4. Responsibility: Taking ownership of actions and outcomes, and being accountable.
5. Innovation: Embracing creativity, adaptability, and new ideas to drive growth and progress.
6. Collaboration: Working with others to achieve shared goals, valuing teamwork and open communication.

For individuals, core values can reflect what they stand for and influence personal and professional choices. For organizations, they define company culture, help build trust with employees and customers, and guide strategic decisions. Core values are key to maintaining direction, inspiring loyalty, and achieving long-term success.
