如何巧妙地展示留学推荐信推荐人的背景
如何更好地介绍推荐人的背景?包括专业课老师,实习单位领导,以及其课外活动和社区活动推荐人。如果你的推荐人有非常牛的背景,那就值得我们花些功夫来展示。
学术推荐人范例
I earned my B.S. in Electrical Engineering at McMaster University in Ontario and my M.A. in Education at California State University Northridge in 1997. I began teaching math and science at San Jacinto High School that same year and in 1998 became assistant coach on San Jacinto’s varsity basketball team. I have been serving as a student advisor/counselor since the fall of 2003.
解析:推荐人首先介绍了自己的学术背景,麦克马斯特大学(加拿大一所大学)的电气工程本科学位,加州州立大学北岭分校的教育学硕士。另外,推荐人又展现了自己在San Jacinto高中丰富的数学和科学教学经历,同时为了更好地表现自己在学生工作的能力,又介绍了自己在篮球队担任教练和班主任的经历。通过推荐人强大的背景介绍,足以展现这份推荐信的真实信和含金量。
实习单位推荐人范例
I am currently the Chief Financial Officer of Speedway Performance Systems and worked with Eddie while I was a Vice President at UBS. By way of background, I spent the last 10 years in venture capital (CCMP Capital Advisors and TPG Capital) and, more recently, investment banking (UBS). I earned my M.B.A. at the University of Chicago in 1994.
解析:为了更好地证明推荐人对被推荐人专业能力的了解,可以将推荐人在相关领域的工作经验呈现出来。在上述例子中,推荐人就很巧妙的介绍了自己在金融领域的.成就。不管是如今在Speedway Performance Systems的CFO职位,还是当时在UBS的副总裁职位,都足以向录取委员会的老师展现一个高等级的推荐人。推荐人还是负责地介绍了自己在风险资本和投资银行方面的从业经验。
其他各类推荐人范例
With a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from Temple University, I joined the Patent and Trade Office as a Patent Examiner in 2000 and have risen to Senior Patent Examiner and then in 2006 to Supervising Patent Examiner. Today, I hire, train, and promote examiners and manage, review, and sign off on the work of the 15 patent examiners in my group, including Michelle.
解析:通过观察这一段,我们可以发现推荐人毕业于一个不知名的天普大学,就读的也是和申请者不相关的电气工程专业,学历也终止在本科。那么问题来了,推荐人这样不相关的学术背景,应该如何给申请者加分呢?百利天下留学建议,一句话简单带过自己的学术生涯,笔锋一转,开始说明自己在专利审核领域的一步步升职,从2000年最初的专利审核员,到2006年高级专利审核员,再谈及自己现在的工作是招聘,培训,监督专利审核员,顺便介绍了自己和被推荐人的关系。这样一段话读完之后,大家可以清晰的记住推荐人多年的相关工作经验,也可以看出对被推荐人的了解程度。
