美國(guó)研究生留學(xué)推薦信怎么寫(xiě)
在現(xiàn)實(shí)當(dāng)中,向他人求一封推薦信遠(yuǎn)比電影里演的困難。求推薦信的人因此經(jīng)常勝出許多焦慮,找誰(shuí)要?怎樣要?開(kāi)口說(shuō)什么?其實(shí),拿到一封出色的推薦信完全可以在你的掌控之內(nèi),沒(méi)有你想象得那么難,即便你不是富二代,即便你沒(méi)有家庭給學(xué)校雄厚的捐款做支撐。
下面給大家傳授三個(gè)技巧,確保你的導(dǎo)師、前任老板、或者學(xué)術(shù)顧問(wèn)給你寫(xiě)一封贊揚(yáng)信。
1.強(qiáng)調(diào)他們的資質(zhì)
2.提供樣板
3.不插手過(guò)問(wèn)
下面對(duì)每項(xiàng)技巧進(jìn)行詳細(xì)分析:
強(qiáng)調(diào)他們的資質(zhì)
當(dāng)你問(wèn)人要推薦信時(shí),一開(kāi)始你應(yīng)先表明你非?粗厮(她)的評(píng)價(jià),非常尊重他們作為專(zhuān)業(yè)人士給出的`意見(jiàn),所以才選擇他們作為自己的擔(dān)保人,擔(dān)保自己會(huì)在接下來(lái)的專(zhuān)業(yè)領(lǐng)域里努力。
除了抬舉推薦人,你還應(yīng)該給出解釋?zhuān)銥槭裁凑J(rèn)定推薦人具備獨(dú)一無(wú)二的資格來(lái)給你作評(píng)價(jià),給你做引薦。你為什么喜歡與他們(引薦人)共事?你為什么那么在乎他們的評(píng)價(jià)?你如何敬仰他們?他們的資質(zhì)是怎樣適合給你寫(xiě)推薦或與自己將來(lái)的權(quán)威導(dǎo)師對(duì)話。
提供樣板
如果你沒(méi)有提供推薦信樣板給引薦人,讓他們寫(xiě)出好好推薦信的幾率很低。況且這也是不經(jīng)過(guò)思考的做法。人們最不愿意做的就是花好幾個(gè)小時(shí)甚至好幾天來(lái)給你構(gòu)思一份你本來(lái)自己都可以寫(xiě)得更好的推薦信初稿。
所以,向你的推薦人提供樣本——可以是推薦信的大綱、要涵蓋的關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)、或者是寫(xiě)好的初等任何你想在推薦信上展現(xiàn)的內(nèi)容——是向人要推薦信的最有效途徑(而且這也顯示了你考慮過(guò)周到、為人體貼)。
不插手過(guò)問(wèn)
最后,樣本給了推薦人,且讓推薦人明白這樣做是為了盡力減輕他們的工作,然后,是時(shí)候“交出政權(quán)”采取“不插手過(guò)問(wèn)”的政策了。首先,給你的推薦人充分的自主選擇權(quán),他們可以無(wú)條件地拒絕你;其次,假設(shè)推薦人同意給你寫(xiě)推薦信,給他們足夠的空間,修改編輯你的樣本。你可以表達(dá)你對(duì)他們的信任,讓他們以自己的方式來(lái)修改推薦信。
下面舉例展示一下以上三點(diǎn)具體如何操作:
Highlight their Qualifications
Dear John,
Hello, I hope you are well. I am writing to ask a huge favor — I'm applying for a senior marketing position with Merck and I was hoping you'd consider writing a letter of recommendation on my behalf. I always appreciated your perspective and judgment while working together. You have so much credibility within the product development space that I thought you'd be a perfect person to act as a reference.
Provide a Template
I have included a list of bullet points along with a draft letter you might consider using as a template. I'd like to make the process as easy as possible on you and I know it's hard to recall details about the many different projects we worked on together in 2007 and 2008.
"No Questions Asked"
If for any reason you don't feel comfortable writing a letter on my behalf, I completely understand. If you are willing to do so, however, please feel free to take the attached sample letter and use it as a template however you see fit. I have tried to address my core strengths as a strategic thinker and team player and I have highlighted several marketing campaigns I'm particularly proud of. To the extent that you'd like to make any changes or modifications to the letter, please go ahead and do so. I trust that you'll include only those topics you feel comfortable commenting upon.
Further, I would welcome the opportunity to see a copy of the letter, but I of course understand your position if you'd like to keep it confidential.
Finally, finish your request with all the grace and charm you can muster — thank the other person profusely for their time and help and offer to make yourself available for any further questions he may have.
Stay tuned for next week's post on how to write that template and make your reference letter stand out from the pack.
