自我介绍的内容,主要是experience。experience分2种,一种是academic的,一种是extracurricular的。一般来说,academic最多2句话。比如“I ranked first out of 70 students in my major. I was awarded national scholarship by ministry of education due to outstanding academic performance.”注意:1,排名比GPA更客观;2,解释GPA低的唯一合理原因就是自己的排名高;3,奖学金什么的,只说一个最重要的就好。4,如果实在拿不出手,也可以不说academic。extracurricular的,后面细说。
拆解下自我介绍。
第一句,感谢对方来面试你。比如“very much appreciate the precious time you take to interview me”“thank you for your time to interview me”“thank you for giving me the interview opportunity”。
第二句,姓名,专业,学校,什么时候毕业(已经毕业的就是毕业时间)。“My name is **. I got my bachelor degree in nuclear science from ** Univ. in 2012.”“My name is **, you could call me Phil. I chose the major in nuclear science and I’m going to graduate in June, 2014.”注意,I majored in **是病句。
第三句到第四句,就是上面提到的academic的内容。
第五句到第N句,记住,一定是从上大学开始,按时间顺序讲经历。(除非你高中获得过“国际”奥赛的奖牌或者曾经是奥运冠军。)经历挑重点的,一般都是2句话或者3句话。“I'm the president of ** club. I led *** attracting *** students.”。或者“I'm interested in nuclear science and joined Porf. Zhang 's lab. I worked in .... and I learned .....”。”I am a volunteer in WWF and I participated their biodiversity protection program last summer. I went to three different areas alongside Yangtze River with my colleagues. In wildlife, I enhanced my teamwork ability, which I think is important for my career.”经历要与申请的position相关的,不然也都是废话。“I believe I have the capability to work for your company for I had my internship here this summer. I ****.”
第N+1句,用一句话,从experience过渡到你为什么申请这个职位,一句话。比如“From my experience in HSBC, I got interested in finance, so I decided to apply***”或者“I consider my future career in finance, so I chose to apply ** position”。对方公司怎么好之类的废话就不要说了。这一句就是总结,意思是你前面的experience能够确保你有为这个公司工作的ability。
第N+2到N+N句,说一点个人的兴趣爱好,reading什么的就算了,要说一点让对方能感兴趣的东西。“Beyond study, I like to play computer games with my friends. I also founded the largest WOW guild in my server.”“Personally, I like diving. I got PADI OW 3 years ago and I’ve been to over 10 diving resorts in South East Asia.”
