美國研究生留學(xué)的申請要求更高，那么一篇好的個人簡歷，能吸引招生官的眼球。下面和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)小編一起來看看美國研究生留學(xué)個人簡歷的書寫指南。
首先來看看個人簡歷的書寫內(nèi)容。
一.個人信息
即Personal Information。包括姓名，出生日期，性別，地址，聯(lián)系電話和電子郵箱等。
1） 西方人經(jīng)常混淆姓與名，導(dǎo)致錄取后發(fā)的I20表格上姓名顛倒。然后還得聯(lián)系學(xué)校修改后再郵遞過來，很麻煩。所以建議在簡歷或者填各種申請表格中采用姓的漢語拼音都大寫，名的漢語拼音僅首字母大寫，姓與名的先后次序倒不重要。當(dāng)然，還可以把自己的姓名及性別作為簡歷的標(biāo)題如Mr. Ming ZHANG。
2） 在美國，出生日期的格式是月日年。如1987年5月28日出生，那么應(yīng)填05/28/1987。
3） 地址一定填準(zhǔn)確，否則可能延誤收到錄取包裹。如果家庭住址不方便收包裹，可以在簡歷里分開寫上mailing address （郵寄地址）和permanent address（家庭地址），這樣學(xué)校一般會把包裹寄至mailing address。如果你住的是小巷小街，建議不要翻譯地址，直接使用拼音。
4） 聯(lián)系電話的話應(yīng)該在電話錢加區(qū)號和國家好，用短橫線隔開，城市區(qū)號前不加“0”，如北京座機(jī)格式是0086-10-65229780，而手機(jī)是0086-1371066666。
5） 電子郵箱非常重要，一定留一個有效的，因?yàn)樯暾堖^程中郵件會成為你和學(xué)校間的主要溝通方式。
二.教育背景
即Educational background。倒著時間來寫，即最近的教育經(jīng)歷放前面。內(nèi)容包括畢業(yè)/在讀學(xué)校名，起止時間，所謂學(xué)位，所學(xué)專業(yè)，如果綜合GPA或者專業(yè)GPA較高或者班級排名比較好，可以重點(diǎn)突出。還可以把核心課程，與申請相關(guān)的部分課程羅列出來。
三.工作或科研經(jīng)歷
即Working & Research Experience。也是倒時間把重要的經(jīng)歷寫出來，和申請專業(yè)相關(guān)的經(jīng)歷可以稍微詳細(xì)點(diǎn)。包括公司名稱，工作崗位，主要職責(zé)與成就等。申請研究生學(xué)歷，這部分比較重要，尤其是MBA專業(yè)，一定好好寫。
四.課外活動
即Extracurricular Activities。主要展現(xiàn)個人素質(zhì)的全面發(fā)展，以及個人對集體和社會的責(zé)任感。本科申請者很多都是無工作實(shí)習(xí)和科研經(jīng)歷，所以這部分盡量能寫多些。但重點(diǎn)突出，平淡無奇或者對申請專業(yè)無多大關(guān)聯(lián)的就不用寫了。
五.所獲榮譽(yù)
即Honors。學(xué)術(shù)的和社會活動方面的榮譽(yù)都要寫上去。包括獲獎名稱，獲獎時間，發(fā)獎單位，獎勵原因，可以簡要說明獲獎比例。如果中學(xué)時有與申請專業(yè)相關(guān)性強(qiáng)的突出獎項(xiàng)，應(yīng)該也寫進(jìn)去?；蛘咚@獎項(xiàng)總數(shù)量不多時，中學(xué)時有的特殊的獎項(xiàng)也可以添上去。
六.個人發(fā)表著作
即publisions。包括題目，作者，時間，雜志（包括頁碼）（中英文，以原發(fā)表為準(zhǔn)）。
七.個人技能
即skills。最好按照與申請專業(yè)相關(guān)程度決定先后，聯(lián)系越緊或越重要的技能一般放最前面。
八.其他
即others。包括標(biāo)準(zhǔn)化考試成績，計(jì)算機(jī)水平，主要的實(shí)驗(yàn)技能，興趣愛好等。如果留學(xué)語言分?jǐn)?shù)不錯的話，應(yīng)重點(diǎn)強(qiáng)調(diào)，分列各單項(xiàng)成績。興趣愛好中如果有極限運(yùn)動，登山賽車等體現(xiàn)冒險和創(chuàng)新精神的，可以重點(diǎn)介紹。
接著來看看簡歷的寫作技巧。
一、含金量高的寫到前面
個人的教育經(jīng)歷、論文發(fā)表、科研經(jīng)歷、實(shí)習(xí)工作經(jīng)歷，是簡歷中含金量最高的部分，應(yīng)當(dāng)放在簡歷的最前半部分，且占整篇簡歷的60%以上。然而仍有很多學(xué)生卻將姓名、性別、生日、聯(lián)系方式等次要信息占掉簡歷的前30%。
二、羅列科研項(xiàng)目的順序要有原則
羅列科研項(xiàng)目的順序。一般我們堅(jiān)持以下兩個原則：a.就近原則，教授更愿意看到我們目前或者最近正在做的項(xiàng)目，而不是我們從大一到現(xiàn)在逐一列舉我們做了什么，應(yīng)該按照時間最近的順序進(jìn)行羅列；b.相關(guān)性原則，挑選與我們申請專業(yè)分支相關(guān)性最大的項(xiàng)目放在前面，按照其相關(guān)程度依次列出相關(guān)經(jīng)歷。
三、項(xiàng)目部分著重突出個人職責(zé)
項(xiàng)目部分著重突出個人職責(zé)?？春啔v的人一般都是本專業(yè)的教授，既然是教授，那他們可能一看到我們的科研項(xiàng)目，就知道這個項(xiàng)目怎么做，所以無需花篇幅去寫研究背景、項(xiàng)目介紹。重要的是申請者在這個項(xiàng)目中的職責(zé)，最好是表述清楚申請者在該項(xiàng)目中運(yùn)用什么知識或者軟件、做了什么、最后實(shí)現(xiàn)了什么。
四、GPA和托福成績不是必須寫在簡歷上
因?yàn)樵诰W(wǎng)申中，所有的學(xué)校都會問到申請者的語言成績和專業(yè)課成績，因此對于一些硬件成績并不是很理想的學(xué)生，最好不要將GPA和GT成績寫在簡歷上，一來這部分內(nèi)容會占去簡歷一些空間，顯得簡歷并不是很簡潔；二來成績不理想，并不能給我們的簡歷加分。
五、刪掉簡歷中的廢話
刪掉簡歷中的廢話。比如學(xué)生的一個比賽名稱是“Robot Assembly and Design”，卻又在個人職責(zé)里寫Designed and assembled a robot?？疵Q就知道學(xué)生設(shè)計(jì)和組裝了機(jī)器人，職責(zé)里面再說一遍，相當(dāng)于廢話，可以刪掉。再比如學(xué)生的實(shí)習(xí)是在某某公司，卻在個人職責(zé)里面寫worked as a technical trainee in XXX，也是廢話連篇，直接在實(shí)習(xí)單位后面寫Position： technical trainee即可。
六、簡歷中只用一種字體、一種項(xiàng)目符號、統(tǒng)一行與行之間的間距，且最好是白紙黑字
一份簡歷中只用一種字體、一種項(xiàng)目符號、統(tǒng)一行與行之間的間距，且最好是白紙黑字。有的學(xué)生為了使簡歷更好看，變換多種字體，更換多重項(xiàng)目符號，采用多種顏色，其實(shí)這樣做反而讓看簡歷的人眼花繚亂，如果想突出某個細(xì)節(jié)：如GPA，獲獎名次等，可以加粗，完全沒必要更換字體或者顏色。值得注意的是，一定要在英文簡歷中盡力避免中文標(biāo)點(diǎn)符號。
七、統(tǒng)一格式
統(tǒng)一時間格式，用數(shù)字就全都用數(shù)字，用簡寫就全都用簡寫，如果第一段經(jīng)歷精確到月份，后面提到的其他經(jīng)歷也都精確到月份，不要一會兒寫05/2013-06/2015，一會兒寫2014.03.21-2016.02.18，一會兒寫April 2015一會兒又寫one year。
八、對于比較稀有的獎項(xiàng)或名稱稍作解釋
對于比較稀有的獎項(xiàng)或名稱，比如XXX企業(yè)獎學(xué)金，可以稍作解釋，提供獲獎比例，比如200個學(xué)生里只有一個學(xué)生可以獲得，可以在解釋該獎項(xiàng)以后，加括號寫1/200，使得錄取委員會更直觀看到獲獎比例。
九、第一次提到的名稱并且下文還會多次提到，可以提供簡稱
第一次提到的名稱并且下文還會多次提到，可以提供簡稱。比如學(xué)生有段在加州伯克利的交流訪問經(jīng)歷，那么在第一次提到伯克利的時候可以注明簡稱UCB，在下文不管是在伯克利做項(xiàng)目還是參加課外活動，直接用簡稱UCB即可，而不必寫全稱University of California Berkeley， 浪費(fèi)簡歷的空間。
十、簡歷中避免出現(xiàn)I，we，they等主觀性詞語
簡歷中避免出現(xiàn)I，we，they等主觀性詞語。簡歷本身就是申請者本人的經(jīng)歷羅列，所有涉及到的經(jīng)歷都是申請者本人的，所以無需用I，更不用we或者they，外國教授看不懂we指的是誰，they又是誰。簡歷的重點(diǎn)在申請者本人參加了什么或者做了什么。
