when it comes to (work/children/relation) matter

extrovert personality

q. how would you describe yourself?
a. I would describe myself as a family-oriented person. I think there are a few reasons for that. First of all, I engage in  acivities with my familly every week. I also take care of my kids' school drop-off and pick-up. On top of that, I'm pretty good at household chores. Now that I say it, it really does seem true!

q. What are you strongest point and weekest point?
Recently, I haven't had time to think about it. but now I have a chance to consider it. let's take a look. I think I'm good at making people fell comfortable, and that's strength of mine. It seems like my team members of colleagues perform better when they comunicate with me. On the other hand, being a heavy sleeper is a weakness of mine. Since I'm raising kids, my free time is only before 6 am. but I often miss morning jogs because of my sleep.

clumsy 서툴다, 덜렁대다 absent-minded 정신이 딴데 팔

q. What is your favorite movie.
Actually I haven't seen a movie in a theater for about 10 years. because i have to keep an eye on my kids'. But i like Marvel movies because they have cool characters and flashy action scenes. I guess even at 40, men are still like little rascal.


I'm just neutral.

Clear the deck 하고 집중 

-------------------------

---

### Part 1: 자기소개
- **Could you please introduce yourself briefly?**  
  *Hi, let me introduce myself. I’m a 40-year-old man who works in programming and managing navigation map databases. I have two children and a lovely spouse, and we live in Jamsil, Songpa-gu. I assume you don’t need details like my height or weight, so I’ll skip those. That’s who I am. Thank you.*

- **What do you enjoy doing in your free time?**  
  *Actually, I don’t have much free time since, as I mentioned, I’m raising two children. But if I do get some free time, I enjoy shopping for sports gear. Honestly, I’m very budget-conscious, so I usually just go window shopping.*

- **Tell me about a recent achievement you are proud of.**  
  *Let me see... Actually, I expected you might ask this, but I don’t quite remember my prepared answer. My recent achievement is completing a project I focused on this year. It started in January and just finished last month. There were a lot of risks and issues, but I handled them well, and I’m proud of that.*

---

### Part 2: 경험에 관한 질문
- **Describe a time when you solved a problem at work or in your daily life. How did you handle it?**  
  *First of all, I think the most important thing is understanding the main problem. I try to stay calm and identify the main issue. Then, I discuss it with the stakeholders. Usually, once we identify the problem together, we can solve it more easily.*

- **What’s one skill you’ve improved recently, and how did you improve it?**  
  *I’d like to talk about English speaking, but I’m not sure I can explain well! So, let me talk about running instead. My endurance has improved a lot. The reason is that I want to run every day, and since I have to drop off my two children every morning, I sometimes run to work after dropping them off. Over time, my stamina has naturally improved.*

- **Describe a challenging project you worked on and how you managed it.**  
  *I think my recent project was very challenging because the deadline was very tight, and we couldn’t start on time due to budget issues. However, as I mentioned earlier, we completed the project successfully. This was thanks to my team members, who helped me a lot. I’m really grateful to them.*

---

### Part 3: 의견 제시
- **In your opinion, what makes a good leader?**  
  *I believe communication is everything. Even when there’s trouble, we can handle it by talking things out. I know it depends on the person’s character, but in my opinion, communication is the most important quality in a good leader.*

- **Do you think technology has made our lives better? Why or why not?**  
  *I couldn’t agree more that technology has improved our lives. I love technology! If I didn’t have my smartphone or car, I couldn’t study, work, or enjoy my life as I do now. A couple of simple examples are the dishwasher and the laundry machine—I definitely couldn’t live without them!*

- **What are some advantages and disadvantages of working from home?**  
  *I think working from home is good for my family, but I personally don’t enjoy it because my work efficiency is very low at home. When I’m home, I have too many tasks, like laundry, running the dishwasher, and cleaning. So I can’t fully concentrate on my work, which is why I feel working from home doesn’t have many advantages for productivity.*

---

### Part 4: 상황에 따른 답변
- **Imagine you have to plan a company event. What steps would you take to make it successful?**  
  *It’s simple: planning, meeting, and executing. That’s the basic process. Could you provide more details, by any chance?*

- **You need to work with a new team on a project. How would you introduce yourself and establish good communication?**  
  *First of all, I would compliment them, even if they don’t show obvious strengths. I’d try to find something positive and use it as an icebreaker. If possible, I’d share some past achievements as well. Maybe we’d even go for a drink together to build rapport.*

- **You are given a task with a tight deadline. How would you prioritize and complete it?**  
  *I would prioritize tasks based on how easy they are to complete, starting with the shorter tasks that involve more team members. For the tougher tasks, I’d assign them to our ace team members and make sure to encourage and compliment them along the way. This is how I manage to finish projects successfully.*
