推薦信的題目及寫法



最常遇到 最標準的推薦信通常follow三大段:
1. 你們是什麼樣的關係/認識多久/有多瞭解他?
How long and in what capacity have you known the applicant?
2. 你對申請人最難忘的優點/能力/及經驗?
How does the applicant stand out from others in a similar capacity?
這段也記得要舉實際的例子,說得故事給評審聽,增加說服力。
      (這裡也可以寫兩段,講兩個優點)
      3. 總結。推薦人到底有多推薦申請人。

這是最簡單的推薦信。一般這樣寫成一封信就好了,不要超過一張A4。

當然有的學校會問的比較細,就會要求提出更多具體的問題:
  • Please give an example of the applicant's impact on a person, group, or organization.
  • Please give a representative example of how the applicant interacts with other people.
  • Which of the applicant's personal or professional characteristics would you change?
  • Please provide a short list of adjectives describing the applicant’s strengths.
  • Please compare the applicant’s performance to that of his/her peers. Does the applicant have the potential to become a senior manager?
  • How does the applicant accept constructive criticism?
  • Comment on your observations of the applicant’s ethical behavior.
  • What do you think motivates the candidate’s application to xxx Business School?
  •   In what ways could the applicant improve professionally?
  •  If you could change one thing about the applicant, what would it be?
  • Are there any other matters which you feel we should know about the applicant?
通常會問這麼細的都是頂尖名校,那就一定要一題一題具體回答。"具體"!很多人都不瞭解什麼是具體,回答這些題目,請一定要舉出例子,問你領導能力如何?不能只說很好很優秀,一堆形容詞,請"具體"的舉出一個事件,用STAR將事情說清楚,才有說服力。
