  Due to the comprehensiveness of China’s “reform and open” policies, economics plays an increasingly important role in the development of its global position. Though more and more companies built, management of companies cannot catch up with the development of the companies. Management is a burgeoning field in China, so I hope I can acquire more modern knowledge on management in England.

  The roots of my strong interest in business can be traced back to my childhood. My father was among the first of China’s new breed of modern entrepreneurs. As a young girl, it was inspirational hearing about his business ventures, and meeting the varied and interesting circle of entrepreneurs. My mother was also involved in business as an accountant, helping him with simple calculations. And so it was early in my life that I hoped I, also, would someday be able to enter the realm of business.

  With the time of growing up, I preferred reading books to satisfy my curiosity. I never ceased to contemplate over the questions I encountered. Subjects on business and management became a special fascination to me and my knowledge of psychology as well as interest in this field was increasing rapidly.

  As a high school student in China, I had to concentrate on the College Entrance Examination ***CEE***, even so, books not related to the exams were never excluded from my life. Unfortunately when sitting in the exam in June, 2001, I was so nervous that I didn’t score well in the CEE exam. I enrolled in the department of Computer Science in Zhejiang College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Any attempt to persuade myself to focus on my major turned out to be a failure at the beginning of my college life. After several terms, I realized that I would never be interested in being a programmer or an engineer. At that moment, I lost my direction and objectives.

  My persistence in reading saved me from the dark situation. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed reading the books included Encyclopedia American, and some books about management by Peter F.Drucker. I began to notice something interesting: Why some companies can produce more than others? Why some company can sell more than others? Why some companies can build up but others cannot when facing the same difficulties?

  With the questions in my mind, I started to read many relevant books. I was lucky to read the book “Jack: Straight from the Gut”by Jack Welch, in Which John A. Byrne makes a clear illustration that the management is important for a company. When I was a junior, I ran a bookshop by myself near my school. I should manage not only the finance in the shop but also the employees in my shop even made some strategies to enlarge the business in my shop to hold on the run the shop. From this, my interpersonal skills and the capacity in business has been greatly developed, definitely I was increasingly interested in what I was doing. By December, 2003, I had finally determined to take business management as my career instead of IT. To accumulate more relevant knowledge, I strived to gain more practical work experience in some big companies.

  Fortunately, as a senior, I began by conducting an internship in the Architecture Company in Zhejiang Province. Over six months, I worked as an assistant of the manager to harmonize the relationship between the different departments in this company and to draft some management system, which broadened my perspective of management conditions and business performance in different industries. The experience showed me that management is much more important than that of I thought in big companies. After graduation, I continued my work in this company. In May, 2005, the company offered me an opportunity to participate in an training program held by a famous management school. Through in-depth discussions with teachers and students in the classes, they all encouraged me to pursue my future career in management field because of my intellectual ability and the brand new ideas I mentioned.

  During the short period of training, I realized that pursuing a higher degree in management is a wise choice for me now. Lancaster, with its excellence in management, represents the perfect fit for my needs. In your challenging environment, I can build the required foundation of knowledge related to management to achieve my goals. I am firmly convinced that your admission will be my first step of success. With this in mind, I hereby submit my application, and await your favorable reply.

  美國留學申請文書技巧

  有個性+閃光點

  招生官在看學生的美國研究生申請文書時,就像閱卷老師看高考試卷,兩三分鐘就要看一份,因此學生平時一定要多記錄一些鮮活的事件,在文書中用自己的經歷去感動招生官,也就是要找出自己身上的亮點,以便招生官在看到你的文書時能夠留下一些印象。每個學生身上都有很多閃光點,比如學習優秀,組織能力強,有愛心,參加過很多社會實踐等。

  要注意“知己知彼”。學生在寫申請時,要多方打聽、瞭解學校注重的是什麼,是注重學生的領導力還是學生的創造力。

  在介紹自己的閃光點時,可以結合意向學校的特點和專業來說,顯示出這個專業是你的興趣所在,也可以藉此來說你的職業規劃,讓招生官認為你不僅學習優秀,還是個目標明確的、用心去了解這一學校的學生。

  有邏輯+言簡意賅

  在敘述自己的時候,要有邏輯,用簡練的語言把事情敘述清楚。比如寫有愛心,美國大學很喜歡有愛心的學生。如果你只說自己很有愛心,而沒有說一些具體做法就很沒有說服力。你需要將愛心活動的時間、地點、你在這次活動中所發揮的作用、你的感受等都敘述出來,這樣美國大學才會覺得你真的是一個參與者,而不是一個旁觀者。

  提醒大家在美國申請文書寫作時最好要用第一人稱,敘述要有邏輯,而且要言簡意賅。比如在說自己很有組織能力的時候,擔任學校文藝社社長,根據每個人的情況,讓性格外向、善於交際的人做協調溝通的工作;讓善於思考、思維活躍、勇於創新的人做籌備及策劃的工作;讓有遠見、有凝聚力的人做整個工作的進度安排。這樣安排的結果是所有社員發揮了最佳效率。

  要真實+以情感人

  由於英語水平達不到,很多學生寫文書時會先寫出中文再逐字翻譯成英文。但是,由於中英文字身存在差異,學生最好以英文的方式思考寫作。

  大部分學生寫完申請,會找專門的老師進行修改。但是需要提醒的是,修改的地方是語法病句,而不是過度包裝。如果學生因為過度包裝的文憑走進名校,理想與現實的差異也會讓學生日後的留學路壓力很大。

  最後提醒學生注意的是,申請本科的文書和申請研究生的文書的要求和偏重是不一樣的。申請大學本科時的文書,需要你的文章中有更多的情感,以情感人;申請研究生的文書需要多體現你的研究成果和你的專業能力。

  美國留學選校注意事項

  1.匹配學校的錄取要求

  每所學校的錄取要求和錄取偏好差別很大,不同專業的研究生可能對申請者有非常細緻的背景要求,這些要求背後的素質一般是這所學校所重點強調的錄取優勢取向。

  2.專業排名是選校第一指標

  如果你選擇去美國讀本科,那麼在選校時首先應考慮的是學校的綜合排名;如果是就讀碩士或者PHD,那麼專業排名顯然比綜合排名更值得我們重視。

  因為美國本科強調通識教育,重在塑造具備專業能力的“好人”,而研究生學習是對專業的深度挖掘,要求學生選擇自己的專業細分方向,並做長久的研究和努力,從而上升到一定的學術高度。並且,對於就業來說,研究生階段所接觸的專業高精尖知識,將是支撐你將來職業發展最重要的“殺手鐗”。因此,研究生選校,這所學校專業上的綜合實力才是最重要。

  3.拿獎概率需考慮

  對於許多中國學生來說,想要實現赴美留學的願望,一個重要的考慮因素就是能否獲得美國大學提供的獎學金。美國大學的高額度獎學金主要集中在本科和博士兩個方向,研究生要根據不同的專業,學校會提供相應的TA、RA。建議大家要充分了解美國的獎學金形式,以及能夠發放獎學金的專業。如果你的專業側重於工程方向和生物科技,那麼拿到獎學金的比例會比較高;如果是文科類專業和商科類專業,獲取獎學金的可能性會很小。

  4.選擇學制

  美國大學的學制主要分為學期制***一年兩期另加暑假***與學季制***一年四季***兩種。希望提早畢業,或工作經驗豐富又不介意密集式讀書的學生,可考慮學季制的大學。提醒大家,美國研究生院對於同一專業的專案學制要求也不同,所以我們在選校時一定要選擇一個比較適合自己的學制。

  5.考慮留學費用

  在美國,不同專業、不同學校、不同地區的收費標準各有不同,而生活費也因地區差異有所差別。一般商學院、法學院和醫學院的費用相對較高,而理科、文科、體育學院等的學費相對較低,私立學校的學費會比公立學校更貴,大城市的生活費會比小城市更貴,美國東、西海岸學校學費較高,而某些州如阿巴拉馬州等,則費用較低。因此我們在選校的時候,要提前做好留學費用的預算。

  6.結合地理位置進行選校

  地理位置對於赴美留學申請者來說還是非常重要的。一般來講,對於中國學生到美國讀書,得到的不僅僅是一個學位,還有很多很多。在一些地理位置好的城市,比如紐約、芝加哥、洛杉磯,這些地區的商業氛圍很濃,經濟非常發達。如果你在這些地區學習商科,將會有很多的機會進入當地的企業實習,可以快速瞭解和學習現代企業成熟的運營模式和管理流程,對自身是十分有益處的。

  7.學校所在位置的就業情況

  雖說還沒去就讀就考慮就業是否早了點,但等真正到抵達後再考慮是不是就晚了。美國各地區之間的差異還是非常明顯的,以下是中國留學生最常去的幾個地區的特點:

  加州:擁有全美最強的公立大學系統——加州大學系統,外加斯坦福、加州理工等私立名校。矽谷的創業文化,洛杉磯,好萊塢,加上優質的氣候條件,一直以來吸引著眾多的中國留學生,競爭異常激烈;

  紐約:無疑是金融會計等專業的首選。康涅狄格州—紐約市—新澤西俗稱三州區域,擁有大量著名的金融保險行業大公司,是全美平均最富的區域;哥倫比亞大學、耶魯大學、普林斯頓大學等就位列其中;

  波士頓—紐約—費城相連線的東北部地區:八大常青藤盟校及著名的MIT所在地。自然科學及MBA等各學科牛校雲集的區域;以經濟來說,主要以金融、傳媒、生物、化學、醫學等為主;

  五大湖區:工程專業優秀且強勢。底特律是汽車工業重心,但冬季非常寒冷;航天工程、生物技術等高精尖專業可考慮北卡羅萊納和德克薩斯州的奧斯汀—達拉斯區域;
