By mid-August, the summer camps in most colleges and universities have come to an end, followed by the pre-promotion and test-free peak period held by major colleges and universities. I don't know if my schoolmates have successfully landed in the summer camp!
However, the schoolmates who have not landed must not give up! Let's take a look at the experience of this senior 40+ interview!
I. Resume
According to the requirements of the applicant institution, the documents that need to be prepared during the postgraduate study mainly include: resume, personal statement, self-introduction, letter of introduction, scanned copy of award-winning certificate, transcripts and results in Chinese and English, English proficiency certificate, etc.
(1) resume content
1. Template color: It is recommended to use color templates, such as classic dark blue+black and white, light blue+black and white, dark green+black and white. Please don't overuse bright colors, and don't overuse black and gray.
2. Template style: simple and clear.
3. Font color: Choose fonts according to your own preferences, and recommend Microsoft Yahei and Bold (because these two fonts are visually equal in width and height, and they are more harmonious when used on resumes than Song Style). Pay attention to the consistency of full-text fonts; The color is generally black. If you want to highlight the advantages in your resume, pay attention to bold/underline/mark this part with other colors.
4. Content segmentation: This is the core part of a resume, and the first essence of making a resume is to highlight self-advantage. Different advantages, different content distribution. Resume should include:
(1) Basic information: name, gender, nationality, political outlook, telephone number, school major, date of birth, email address and major.
(2) Academic status: average academic performance /GPA, professional ranking, English level.
(3) Scientific research level: scientific research experience and achievements.

A. If you have rich scientific research experience, it can be divided into sections: personal information (basic information+academic situation), scientific research experience, scientific research achievements, awards and social activities.
B. If your English is excellent, it can be divided into three parts: personal information (basic information +GPA+ professional ranking), English level, scientific research experience, scientific research achievements, awards and social activities.
C. If you are nothing like me, you can do this: personal information (basic information+academic situation), scientific research experience, scientific research achievements, awards, social activities and personal evaluation.
(2) Matters needing attention in the resume content

During my tenure in XXX Association, I contacted the principals of three rural primary schools and organized teaching activities for three consecutive years. For example: clear logic, good at learning, patient and meticulous, willing to reflect, self-discipline and inspirational, perseverance.
(3) resume instructions
1. Please convert your resume into PDF format for any purpose.
2. Please type more colorful resumes for offline interviews to ensure that the teacher has one. Remember to present+smile+eye contact+standard resume delivery with both hands. "Teacher, this is my resume, please have a look."
Please contact your favorite tutor by email for online interview. After briefly introducing yourself in the email, attach your resume, and remember to add the standard words "Attached is my resume, please have a look".
Everyone has a different understanding of resume, but a qualified resume is always inseparable from the words "highlighting advantages" and "fostering strengths and avoiding weaknesses". Before making resumes, schoolmates must fully explore their own advantages and disadvantages, arrange the contents of resumes reasonably, and be detailed and appropriate! Of course, you should know every detail of your resume before the interview!
Second, avoid the interview
No matter what kind of interview, its basic content will include two basic contents: self-introduction and questions raised by the interviewer, and the questions raised by the interviewer can be summarized into three aspects: scientific research level, professional knowledge and other abilities. I have listened to some open classes in the interview preparation stage, and I feel that I can attend relevant courses if necessary.
(A) interview skills-Chinese self-introduction
Self-introduction is often the first step in an interview, so how can the interview teacher remember himself in these short minutes? How to give yourself a halo of "precision and no affectation"?
1. First of all, grasp the time and speak at an appropriate speed. Strictly controlling the duration of self-presentation within the prescribed time limit is one of the ways to show respect to the interviewer. In the process of self-introduction, we are often the exporter and the interview teacher is the receiver, so we should try to control the speech speed to about 200 words/minute. In this way, we need to prepare an interview draft of 580-620 words, introduce ourselves for 3 minutes, and memorize it so that we can output it freely in the interview field.
2. Secondly, the introduction is divided into points and the content is substantial. A qualified self-introduction draft should include the following parts: respect and greetings, personal basic information, academic situation, scientific research experience and achievements, awards won and conclusions.
(1) honorifics and greetings. This is what everyone will naturally write in the manuscript, but not everyone will remember to read it out. Because in the interview field, you often face such a dialogue-Xiao Wang, right? Introduce yourself. You introduce yourself passively, and many students forget to say hello during the interview or even when defending their graduate thesis. So you might as well write your respectful words and greetings in your manuscript: "Good morning, dear teachers! I'm XX from AA University. It's an honor to attend this interview. Today I will introduce myself from the following aspects. "
(2) Personal basic information. Simple explanation: undergraduate school, major, name can be. Nowadays, many online templates will include places of origin, hobbies and so on. This kind of secondary content is not recommended to be mentioned at the beginning. Our focus is to let teachers know our specific abilities.
(3) academic situation. In this part, the content should include: average score, grade point, grade ranking, etc. These three points can be summarized in one sentence: "Up to now, my subjects are all XX points, my grade point is not XX, and my ranking is XX". However, such an important module, just saying this sentence, is obviously very thin. Here, as a treasure of basic medicine, we should dig deep into our professional advantages and tell everyone that we are different from our classmates in clinical medicine! We are different from our biology classmates! We are "biologists with solid clinical medical background and basic medical scientific research literacy" (be confident! Be confident! )。 You can then use this template:
First, the academic situation. During my four years of study and life in college, I studied hard, and not only completed basic medical and clinical related courses, but also completed basic medical experimental skills training and basic scientific research training. I study hard and get good grades. So far, my subjects are all XX points, grade point XX, professional grade XX, and I am sure enough to get the qualification of walking. If you have difficulty in the Baoyan exam, you might as well sign up for a Baoyan exam tutorial class, such as the one-on-one tutorial class of Private Customization, which is highly targeted, flexible in class time and free to answer questions after class, which is very helpful for Baoyan to prepare for the exam.
(4) Scientific research experience. In this part, because our introduction time is limited, and the foundation must have participated in more than one or two experimental projects, it is strongly recommended that you name all the projects within the limited time of self-introduction! Here, we can choose to speak with numbers, and we can refer to this template:
Third, in terms of scientific research experience. I entered the laboratory from 20 17, and mainly participated in five projects, including hosting 1 national innovation, 1 open experiment, participating 1 national innovation, national projects and provincial projects. In the process of project A, I learned XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX In Project B, I have mastered XXXXXX and learned how to write English papers. What did I learn in Project C? (Focus on projects with high participation and many sources of projects, such as projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation, national-level innovation projects that you have been participating in, and so on. )
(5) scientific research achievements. In this part, we still suggest using numbers to speak.
I have written or participated in the publication of three papers, one of which was published in XXXXX as the author of XX, 1 comment was accepted by XXXXX as the fourth author, and 1 English paper was submitted to XXXXX magazine as the third author.
(6) concluding remarks. Although this part is simple, as long as you write enough articles and show your determination, you can become different from others! Personally, I think this expression really caught the attention of the interview teacher.
Finally, if I have the opportunity to obtain the qualification of your school, I will cultivate my comprehensive scientific research ability from consolidating my professional knowledge, strengthening English learning and literature reading, improving my practical ability and standardizing scientific research, so as to cultivate the necessary ability for further studying for a doctorate and engaging in basic scientific research for a long time.
Who doesn't like pragmatic and hard-working students? Who doesn't like students with scientific research aspirations? As long as you are eager to express your desire for learning and knowledge, I believe the teacher will read your resume carefully!
(2) Answers to interview questions

For these high-frequency questions in the interview, everyone must remember to prepare answers in Chinese and English. Don't blindly translate English answers into Chinese, otherwise it will be easy to see that you are memorizing the manuscript. Try to write English answers in a simple and easy-to-understand way and express them in spoken English.
Finally, please be confident! Be confident! Be confident!
