CV (personal resume), PS (personal statement) and recommendation letter can be said to be the core contents of study abroad documents.

2. What should a resume contain?

2. 1 Personal information, that is, personal information, including name, date of birth, gender, address, contact number and email address.

2. 1. 1 Westerners often confuse surnames with first names, which leads to the inversion of names on I20 forms issued after admission. Then you have to contact the school to modify it before mailing it, which is very troublesome. Therefore, it is suggested that in resumes or various application forms, the Chinese pinyin of surnames should be capitalized, and the Chinese pinyin of first names should only be capitalized, and the order of surnames and first names is not important. Of course, you can also use your name and gender as the title of your resume, such as Mr.

Zhang Ming.

2. 1.2 In the United States, the format of birth date is year, month and day. If 1987 was born on May 28th, then 05/28/ 1987 should be filled in.

2. 1.3 address must be filled accurately, otherwise the acceptance of the package may be delayed. If the home address is not convenient to receive the package, you can write the mailing address separately in your resume.

(mailing address) and permanent address (home address), so that schools usually send packages.

Address. If you live in an alley, it is recommended not to translate the address, but to use pinyin directly.

2. 1.4 If you contact the telephone number, you should add the telephone number and country area code, separated by a short horizontal line, and do not add "0" before the city area code. For example, the format of Beijing landline is 0086- 10-65229780, and the format of mobile phone is 0086- 137 106666.

2. 1.5 E-mail is very important, so be sure to leave an effective one, because in the application process, E-mail will become the main way of communication between you and the school.

2.2 Education background, education experience is usually placed in the first part of the resume, because almost all people in the world will first pay attention to a person's education background and achievements, because he represents a person's achievements in the most dynamic stage.

Educational experience generally includes your school, major, class ranking, GPA, and any double degree or honorary degree. Of course, this should include your enrollment and graduation time.

If you have a postgraduate degree, please mention it here. Or what courses you have studied that are particularly relevant to your professional application can be highlighted to show that you are ready for this.

2.3 Work or scientific research experience, that is, work &; study

Experience. This is almost the most important content in a resume, and it also takes up the most space.

For those who apply for a research degree, this section will mainly introduce the experience of the laboratory or the internship experience of related companies. For those who apply for a practical degree, this section will focus on the content of work practice.

Career experience is important to describe your contribution and achievements, not only your position, but also this project, because the achievements of this project may be owned by thousands of people in Qian Qian, and you are just a small screw, with little effect. The people on the admission committee care about "you"-the applicant.

When writing a resume, you should first think: Where have I worked? What have I done? What problems did I encounter and how did I solve them? What is the result of my work? What contribution did my work bring? Did I get a commission or create extraordinary value because of my work?

It is important to write a resume in chronological order. Generally speaking, resumes need to be written in flashbacks, that is, recent work should be put at the top. Because the closer you are to work, the more you can show your ability and leadership. A long time ago, because this was your job when you were young, you can simply touch it.

Priority is very important when writing every job. Suppose you have a wide-ranging job and you can't express it in simple language, then please list the most important things.

Remember, others will not carefully taste and appreciate your work, what you have to do is to show yourself at a glance.

Remember, it is very important to keep your time clear. Others don't have time to help you tidy up. What you have to do is to have a clear context so that others can easily understand your progress.

Remember, don't brag, the people who try your materials are all elites in the industry, otherwise how can they be your mentors? It's most important for people to know who you are.

Internship is also very important, especially for applicants with no work experience. Therefore, a long-term internship is far better than several one-week internships. Everyone who hears your material knows that you can't do anything for a week.

The work experience part is particularly important for applying for MBA major, so be sure to write it well!

2.4 Extracurricular activities, that is, extracurricular activities.

Mainly manifested in the all-round development of personal quality and personal sense of responsibility to the collective and society. Many undergraduate applicants have no work practice and scientific research experience, so write as much as possible in this part. However, you don't need to write anything that is focused, inconspicuous or has little to do with the application major.

2.5 personal skills, that is, skills. It is best to decide the order according to the degree of relevance to the applied major, and the skills that are more closely related or more important are generally placed first.

2.6 Personal published works, that is, publications, including title, author, time and magazine (including page number) (in both Chinese and English, the original publication shall prevail).

2.7 The honors obtained, that is, the honors in academic and social activities, should be written down. Including the award-winning name, award-winning time, award-winning unit, award-winning reason, award-winning proportion, etc. can be simply explained. If there are outstanding awards in secondary schools that are strongly related to the applied major, they should also be written in. Or the total number of awards is small, and special prizes for middle schools can be added.

2.8 Others, namely others.

Including standardized test scores, computer level, main experimental skills, hobbies and so on. If you do well in studying abroad, you should emphasize that each individual achievement should be separated. If you have hobbies that reflect the spirit of adventure and innovation, such as extreme sports and mountain racing, you can focus on them.
