1. A guide for undergraduates studying in the UK to write resumes.
First, the content of the resume of studying in the UK
1, personal information of resume studying in UK
It usually includes your name, gender, contact address, contact phone number, email address, etc. You can show it at the top of your resume in the form of an avatar. It should be noted that: ① Please try to avoid using QQ mailbox, because QQ mailbox can't receive emails from foreign universities in many cases. I suggest you use 163, 126 or the official email address of the school. (2) The address must be the address where you can really receive the materials, and the postal code can be written at the back of the province. Remember to add the international area code before the phone number.
2. Resume education background of British undergraduate students.
Educational background usually begins at university. In addition to stating the basic information such as your institution and major, you can also simply list the core courses related to the applied major and indicate your average score. Students with good rankings can also add rankings.
3. Academic research results of resumes of British undergraduate students.
Applicants who have published papers or works must put academic research results in a prominent position. Please note that this part is very important for students applying for a research-oriented master's or doctor's degree. Please write down the grades of the journals that publish papers. What author are you? The citation format of publications should be standardized.
Please note that there is no English title. Please don't make low-level mistakes in your resume. The name of a publication can be expressed in italics.
4. Practical experience in studying in the UK.
Practical experience includes practical activities in school (student union, community, volunteers, social practice, extracurricular competitions, etc.). ) and off-campus internship experience. Applicants with work experience also need to add work experience. Extracurricular activities and internship experience can be displayed in two sections respectively. The order should be from now to the past. Please be sure to specify the main contents of the post and work you are responsible for.
5. Award-winning resumes of undergraduates studying in the UK
You can write down all kinds of awards, academic and social activities and other honors you have won. If the honor is very rich, please list the important awards. If you know, it is recommended to note the scope of the award (how many people are selected, by department or by the whole school).
Second, writing skills.
1. Many people have this problem. They use hotmail or other free emails to send resumes. Did you notice the name shown in the email you sent? Sometimes it looks like spam. Please go to hotmail and change the settings so that your name can be displayed professionally instead of "big-nite-out", "hot stuff" or other names. Some people even use Chinese names, such as "Zhang San". I guess everyone saw the direct spam. And the one that changed the hotmail account to English, it's in the settings. Otherwise, you will always bring small Chinese advertisements.
2. If you have achieved something, there is really no need not to write, but to write the feeling of gilding the lily.
3, work experience is best represented by more than 3+ points, and the more technical the better. Don't make it look like a short story, introducing the company paragraph by paragraph, and then "I", "I" and a lot of "I" will make you tired.
4. Many people have such a characteristic. I like to emphasize that I'm from China. As soon as they came up, they showed that they were from China, and some people even put their dialects first. If the job you are looking for requires Chinese, or you need to know a local dialect, that is understandable. Besides, writing too much can't show your patriotism.
Third, the main materials for studying abroad
1, application form
Generally speaking, almost every British university will provide an application form and its download method. The main contents of the application form are the applicant's personal information, application major and discipline.
Step 2: Copy
Generally speaking, transcripts are issued by the academic affairs office of the school and need to be stamped by the academic affairs office of the school. Chinese transcripts need to be translated before submission. They are translated by designated regular translation agencies.
3. Proof of English proficiency, such as IELTS.
Because language communication and reading and writing skills are an essential part of studying abroad, teaching is conducted in English. Therefore, most universities in the UK require applicants to provide IELTS scores to prove their language proficiency, and some schools explicitly state that they can also provide other English proficiency certificates such as TOEFL scores.
4. Letter of recommendation
At least one letter of recommendation was written by a teacher in his own school, mainly to recommend academic ability; You can also ask the class teacher to write a letter to recommend someone.
If you have work experience, you'd better provide a letter of recommendation from your work unit, because the British attach great importance to work experience. Be sure to provide the contact phone number, email address, position and address of the correct work unit of the recommender in the recommendation letter.
2. The UK undergraduate study abroad application process
1, preparation stage
The intention to study abroad is generally decided one year before the application. For example, if you want to study abroad in September, and you have more time to prepare for yourself, and the success rate is higher, then you should determine your intention to study abroad in June of the previous year.
First of all, students can find as much information about schools and majors on the Internet as possible, and then make an all-round evaluation according to their own conditions and choose schools and majors. Generally, several schools are selected first, and then you decide which one you want to apply for.
2. During the application period.
General applications are submitted from August and September of the previous year to April and May of the second year. But the students finished it a year ago, so they submitted their application to the school and waited for the result. It's just that different schools have different time to reply to students, some can get a reply in a month soon, and some need three to six months, so you need to check whether your email has been replied frequently.
Be sure to read the offer carefully after receiving it. In fact, many schools in Britain are admitted conditionally, that is, students can go to this school, but they must meet all the conditions that the school needs to meet within a certain period of time, generally IELTS and GPA.
You can take the IELTS test after submitting your application. Generally, you only need to complete the test within the specified time and get enough scores. Please note that many universities also require students to get high marks in IELTS. In addition, if students' IELTS scores are lower than the requirements, they will go to language classes in the second year. However, there are also requirements for language courses, and the specific requirements are different for each university.
3. After the application is completed.
This time period is usually February and March of the second year, and students need to complete all applications at this time. If it is a conditional offer, all conditions must be met. There are still many things to do. The first is deposit, which generally requires three or six months in advance to deposit the prepared money and freeze it. What needs special attention is the deposit period, so students' application for studying abroad must be decided as soon as possible. Frozen funds can only be unfrozen two or three months before departure.
The second is deposit remittance, which is a certificate for students to confirm their admission. The school will give students an account and remit money to this account. If it is not remitted within the specified time, the school will consider that the student has given up admission.
3. List of things to know when studying in the UK
1, accommodation
There are many accommodation options for studying in the UK. For students who have just arrived in Britain, they will choose to live in school dormitories or in the homes of British natives. Students who have been studying in the UK for a long time generally choose to rent a house outside. No matter what kind of accommodation you choose, you should pay attention to safety, especially if you rent a house outside. When renting a house, make sure that the rented house is legal. When signing the contract, read the lease terms carefully and confirm the details of the house before renting it out, so that unnecessary disputes will not occur when checking out. Students who want to rent a house should also choose the object of sharing, especially with close classmates or friends, and try not to share with strangers.
2. Work.
With T4 student visa, you can legally work in the UK, and the working hours are 20 hours per week. Students can take part-time jobs in some local businesses in Britain, which can not only earn pocket money, but also practice oral English, so that you can integrate into British culture more quickly. If you want to work legally in the UK, you need to apply for a NI, otherwise you are working illegally. If you are found working illegally, you will be sent back to China. In Britain, the minimum wage for people who work part-time over 2 1 year old is 6.7 pounds an hour. If it is lower than this salary, you can report it. Be sure to ask what your salary is during the interview.
Step 3 study
The most important thing to go to Britain is to study, because the education system in Britain is very different from that in China, and the courses taught in schools are also very different, so we should grasp our own learning methods and improve the efficiency of learning. British schools attach great importance to students' teamwork and will give students a lot of homework about teamwork. We should actively do what we can. Our main purpose in Britain is to study, so we must spend more time on study. Although work has its advantages, we shouldn't waste all our time on it. Usually you can go to the library and museum to learn more extracurricular knowledge.
