CV (Resume), as its name implies, is a concise written introduction to a person's education, experience, specialties, hobbies and other related information. The requirements of American universities for resumes are eight words: concise and substantial, and talk about everything. Let's take a look at the resume writing of American application for studying abroad with me.

In general, CV mainly includes the following modules for your reference:

(1) Education background

Mainly a brief list of academic qualifications, such as admission time, institutions, majors and degrees, GPA and other information.

(2) Standard test

Mainly for TOEFL, IELTS, GRE, GMAT and other test scores, you can list individual results.

(3) Professional experience

Mainly including professional background, scientific research experience, etc. Briefly list your participation time, specific responsibilities and achievements.

(4) publications

Briefly list your papers, publication time and journals.

(5) Work experience or internship experience

Briefly list the time, unit, position and achievements of your work or internship.

(6) Activities

Briefly list the time, items and other information you participated in activities inside and outside the school.

(7) honor and honor; Bonus; prize

Briefly list all the awards you won inside and outside the school, indicating the time and awarding unit.

(8) Skills

Briefly list your skills in computer, language, art and so on.

Suggestion: You should pay attention to resume writing. The school may verify your resume, especially some important experiences, and it is not recommended that you exaggerate your background. If you want to "show off", the corresponding description should be quantified, and even the award-winning certificate with high gold content can be exposed.

Second, how to create a high-quality resume for studying in the United States?

Resume, simply put, means that the time format and language should be unified, and then it should be simple and clear, not written as PS. Below, Mercer students take stock of common misunderstandings in resume writing and avoid these pits, which is not far from a high-quality resume.

(1) misunderstanding! Write all the activities on your resume.

I have many life experiences, so I want to write them all down, extract them, enrich my resume and enrich the content.

This view has become a misunderstanding because the idea itself will make our resume very long. Everyone must remember that a resume, as its name implies, is a simple resume. Simplicity is to control our length and number of words and explain our experiences and events in the shortest language.

Therefore, taking the application of North American universities as an example, most universities require undergraduate applicants to keep their resumes within A4 pages, and one page is the first choice, which is the purpose. So when you write your own resume, you must choose a representative one to write. Just because you write less doesn't mean you are not rich. The other person is more interested in what is behind the length of the resume.

(2) misunderstanding! Inconsistent fonts and irregular formats

Resume requirements are short, but there is too much experience. No way, we can only reduce the font, line spacing and paragraph spacing, and use the functions of word to control it within one page.

This view is very wrong. We write study abroad documents for readers. And our readers are professors of the other party's admission Committee. Not all professors are young. If we adjust the font to a small size, some older professors will look clumsy.

In addition, even if you meet a young professor, such a document will make others look awkward and the first impression will not be too good. Of course, it is understandable to want to write all your experiences, but when you have rich experiences, you must choose the best.
