First of all, we need to know what a resume usually says.
Personal information, academic qualifications, standardized test scores, paper publication, scientific research experience, work internship experience, activity experience, award-winning experience, personal skills, research interests, application objectives, etc.
But in general, few people will choose to reflect these parts in their resumes. So, how should we choose these parts? There is only one answer, that is, "case". Which part of the resume is reflected depends on which part of the applicant's background is beneficial to the application and worthy of highlighting, and no part of the content must be reflected.
For example, some people think that when applying for an Australian school, standardized test scores should be reflected in CV, because it is necessary for admission. But in fact, if your GT is the weakness of your background, then you can't show it in CV. For another example, many people like to reflect the application objectives in CV, but in fact, this part is of little value. In short, there is nothing that must be reflected in the resume, and there is nothing that must be followed in the application.
1, the page should be concise, not too fancy.
2, detailed properly, important information should be fully in place.
3. Pay attention to the tense of grammar. Please try to use the verb past tense and keep the forms of all parts basically the same.
4. Put your resume on one page.
Then look at the writing skills.
1. Personally think the importance of several elements (liberal arts, especially law school): CV & gtWS & gtGT & gtGPA & gtPS (including us) & gtRL. You need to use GPA to prove your general learning ability, GT to prove your English level and standardized test ability, and CV to cover your professional achievements in this university for three years. Use WS to show the specific level of professional research, use PS to show the individual factors from another angle, use RL to outline another image of the applicant from other aspects, and use WE to show your sincerity and personal needs in applying for this school. These things add up to a whole. Even the RL, which ranks the least important, has to make a lot of efforts. Therefore, in a word, none of these indicators is unimportant and must be taken seriously with all one's strength. Only by doing everything possible to be impeccable can we get good results.
2. Studying in Australia is very important, because it can know the general level of the applicant in the shortest time, so CV is the first thing the professor looks at after the report card and GT. But a good resume needs three years of long-term efforts and accumulation.
3. Find a professional resume and don't refer to those awesome professors. Those are too awesome to compare with. You can refer to the resumes of recent Australian graduates, with professional words and formal format.
4. With the foundation and resume template, just list these experiences and try to optimize the text. Finally, it is best to attach photos of various activities, awards and papers, which greatly increases the authenticity and intuition (if you apply for law school, you should attach them to make the professor feel that you have a good habit of attaching evidence to everything).
Resume should be written in detail and well documented. For example, the internship should include the work unit, address, telephone number, boss and contact information, work content, working hours in a week, reasons for leaving the company, etc. Write down the winning awards, including the organizer, the places where several people participated, the instructors and their contact information, the content and title of the competition, and the photos of the awards are attached to the last page.
6. It doesn't matter whether it can be faked.
7. The application materials should be consistent. For example, what is written in CV is that a paper has been published, and then it can be said that the English version of the paper is attached to WS; Or CV said I participated in a professional activity, and PS said what leap/change has taken place in my career interest since I participated in this activity. This will make your application look more comprehensive and real.
8. If there are many CV pictures, pay attention to capacity compression, otherwise the online application cannot be uploaded.
9. The choice of paper and printing shop is also very important. It is recommended to use 120G paper to find the best printing shop. Photos and awards in color resumes should be printed clearly and look very textured.
Finally, let's take a look at some precautions.
1, Resume length: Resume should be concise, excluding nonsense, and 2 pages is usually the longest length. 1 page will be more meaningful if you don't have much professional experience.
2. Resume purpose: The purpose of the resume is to let the other party clearly understand the overall situation of the applicant, and should strive to accurately reflect his education and professional work experience on the basis of truthfulness, comprehensiveness and conciseness, especially his work direction, research interests and achievements in recent years.
3. Resume essentials: A resume is a list of various activities, honors and other information that a person has experienced. Your resume should include your name, contact information, educational experience, skills and work experience. In addition to these, you should also include your research or teaching experience, a list of papers and monographs, various awards and honors you have won, professional certificates you have obtained, professional association qualifications you have obtained, your interests, future development plans and other detailed information.
Resume you must know.
Among all the application materials, resumes are usually the first application materials that admissions officers or professors browse. A perfect resume and a unique resume will be the first key to your dream school.
