留學申請系列-履歷表Resume/CV修改篇（內含撰寫須知） @ 中英作文（國寫）、莊老師國文線上一對一教學、留學申請資料修改

最近收到了不少學生來信詢問有關履歷表Resume/CV修改，我們發現多數學生缺乏寫「履歷」的經驗，也不知道當你走出台灣，英文履歷（CV）會對你產生多大影響。

所以，這篇文章的主要用意就是想跟大家介紹究竟何謂CV，你在寫CV時該注意哪些事。

簡言之，CV就好似一個放大版的名片，透過名片別人讓別人快速的大概了解你這個人，重要的是也可以從中觀察到你這個人是否具備「細心」、「有邏輯」等特質。

首先，國外學校申請審核的第一關除了英文成績（托福、雅思、GRE）外，重點就是篩選「CV」，主要評分的項目有以下幾點：
一、頁數限制（不超過二頁A4）
二、格式安排（某些系所有一些特別喜好）
三、內容架構
四、針對系所重點包裝

根據以上所述，NJ老師＆Uth老師自己也身為過來人，所以非常能夠了解學生會為了講究用詞精準（Local）而選用外師修改，卻經常導致：溝通出現模糊不清、不精確，導致你好不容易進入面試，教授看你的資料問問題時往往會有「會錯意」的現象發生，當他會錯意而你又不知道為何時，就很容易與國外校園生活錯過。因此，我們結合了「台籍」與「外籍」師資來一同給予學生更專業化的修改服務。如此一來，學生所擔心的中式英文、用詞不精確、中西思考邏輯差異等現象將不會發生。

「台籍師資」具有非常豐富的歐美申請以及大小面試（電話、Skype、On-site）的實戰經驗。
「外籍博士」除了實戰經驗之外還參與過實驗室徵選專題生、碩博士、博士後研究員、PI 的過程，十分熟悉歐美頂尖大學針對 CV 等資料的篩選模式。

在諮詢與回應的部分，一律與「台籍師資」用中文聯繫，撰寫與修改則一律交由「外籍博士」把關。

我們相信：透過這樣的模式，能讓學生最快獲得「外籍博士」所親自修改編輯的 CV。每份資料的修改約需三個工作天，如果你真的很趕時間，將會以急件處理（需加收急件費用）。

履歷表Resume/CV修改流程：
一、請先來信詢問：提供想申請的校系名稱、您所希望收到完稿的時間
二、付款完成
三、提供相關資料（中英描述，專有名詞請盡量以英文為主）
四、外師修改：如提早修改完成，會提早寄出
五、首次修改(PDF)：請你確認有無錯誤、那邊想要調整
六、二次修改(PDF)：修改錯誤、調整完畢、請你再次確認
七、三次修改(PDF、Word)：確認無需調整之後，外師最後會再進行最後一次的檢查、潤稿、校對，最後會將二份檔案同時提供給您。

最後提供「外籍博士」站在審核者的角度教大家究竟該如何撰寫才能寫出一份「吸睛」的專業 CV。

Title: How to write a successful CV?

What is a CV?

Curriculum Vitae (CV) is used to outline a person’s educational and professional background, proficiency and experiences, usually prepared for the application of both industry and academic jobs to demonstrate that you have the demanded skills. And a CV is the most effective way of marketing yourself as an applicant.

Why is it so important to write a CV?

Even to this day, people are still not aware of the importance of writing an impressive professional CV, which actually is the most important document you should submit while applying for a position. In general, people would rather spend a lot of time on the lengthy statement of purpose (SOP) or personal statement (PS) than spare a little bit of time on their CV (This is not to say the former is not important, but the time investment for the latter is unbalanced.). We live in a world that is so fast-paced and most of the time we have to be very efficient in order to keep up with the times. This of course also applies to all kinds of admissions recruiters. When they are going over your application documents, they don’t really have too much time for each of the hundreds, and even thousands, of applicants. Many people get discouraged when the first door they knock does not swing wide open for them. However, in many circumstances, it is not because what you can offer are not competitive enough, but you didn’t have a clear focus on how would your strengths fit the position. So what you need is a well-prepared CV, which is going to help you tremendously in your next try.

What should you include in your CV?

There are several kinds of information you should include in your CV, for example, your personal details, educational background, work experience (if any), achievements, skills, etc. There are also a few details you need to keep in mind. For example, in Germany and France, it’s common to see a photograph in CVs,whereas in the UK and the USA it is frowned upon.

What makes your CV stand out?

Overall, it should be short (usually no more than two sides of A4 paper) and to the point! If you are applying for more than one position, you should have a different CV tailored to each of them and highlight the relevant skills and experience that match well with the specific job.

What kind of services do we offer?

Academic CV (format + content)

Application for University Admission for high school students
Application for Master or PhD Position

It is important to match your academic achievements, research interests and specialist skills with the requirements for the academic position that you apply for. The writing style of your CV should be scholarly and clearly understood to those outside of your field of interest.
