推荐信指导.docVIP

推荐信指导 请Mike帮忙把关了3封推荐信。有一篇建议大改动，两篇建议小改动。 应Mike邀请，在这里转贴对我帮助最大的推荐信写法指导。Jojo精挑细选选出来的哟~比较长，但写得很具体。希望能对大家有些启发。 [ZT]你会写推荐信吗？ 每年，有多少青年才俊想出国，因为没有好的推荐信而拿不到好大学的offer？每年，又有多少留学生毕业出去找工作，因为没有好的推荐信而临门一脚射空了？哪样的推荐信写得好，哪样的推荐信没有写好，诸位写推荐信的学生和老师都知道吗？以前曾经也有些不认识的学生冒失地往我信箱里发来推荐信和自我陈述，拜托我看看。我看了以后发现大多数没有写好。我读了一些关于写推荐信的资料，总结出一些东西和体会。学生请老师写推荐信，首先要试探老师愿意不愿意写，通过老师的态度来判断他能不能写好推荐信。比如有的老师非常热情地答应，非常愿意帮忙；而有的老师态度冷淡，话中带有保留，那么学生应该不必勉强这种带有保留的老师。但是有一点必须强调的是：自己的直接导师必须出示推荐信，否则在用人单位眼里看来就是redflag，看到这种情况（没有导师推荐信）就枪毙。老师只要答应了请求，一般不会写坏话。在KathyBaker的Atthe Helm: A Laboratory Navigator一书里，作者从用人者的角度介绍到：Youwill seldom receive an overtly bad recommendation. Candidates will usuallyrequest recommendations only from people who think they will give a goodreport. In addition, most people who would write a bad recommendation willinform the candidate.但是不写坏话就够了吗？Kathy Baker说：AP.I. may write a less-than-honest recommendation to make sure that thecandidate finds a job, i.e., to be sure that the candidate leave the P.I.slab...But usually, even the most desperate person will not be totally dishonestand will couch their problems in telltale phrases hidden among thecompliments.也就是说，有的导师虽然看似在说好话，但其实锦里藏针，把一些话潜伏在句子里面！也就是说，话中有话！让我们阅读书上举出的例子：Reading Comprehension: Success in 20 Minutes a Day里面举出一个例子：NicoleBryan usually completes her work on time and checks it carefully. She is acompetent lab technician and is familiar with several ways to evaluate testresults. She has some knowledge of the latest medical research, which has beenhelpful.这个虽然没有说一句坏话，但是绝对不是好的推荐信！用人单位看到这样的推荐信保证当场枪毙了。那么，哪样写才是好的推荐信呢？ReadingComprehension: Success in 20 Minutes a Day里面举出另外一个例子： 本帖隐藏的内容 NicoleBryan always submits her work promptly and checks it judiciously. She is anexcellent lab technician and has mastered several ways to evaluate testresults. She has an extensive knowledge of the latest medical research, whichhas been invaluable. 两段话的字面意思几乎一样，但是为什么差别这么明显？读者们，你们体会到了吗？再比如Atthe Helm: A Laboratory Navigator一书里，作者举例：I am writing in supportof XX for hi
