看板 studyabroad 關於我們 聯絡資訊
哈囉各位申請的朋友,申請路上有許多資料要準備,其中最關鍵的就是SOP和CV了 我個人大部分項目都是自己準備,在評估各項項目的重要性還有手頭的預算等資源後,決定SOP和CV要找專業的老師潤稿。 參考了版上許多前輩的經驗,最後在朋友的壓倒性推薦下決定請Chrsitne協助 合作方法,基本上是可以看三輪,第一輪釐清自己要表達的意思,第二輪做比較大幅的更動,第三輪就是微調。 以下幾點是大優點: 1. 細心專業 >>> Christine非常地有耐心,針對每一個語意不清的語句都會問清楚,然後調整成專業清楚的說法。每收到一個版本,我會先看她每個刪減字(很多都是文法...)然後再選擇只顯示簡明標記,來改內容。我們會用修訂的對話框框溝通,就不會落東西。 2. 準時 >>> 通常一輪她會需要2~3天潤飾,每次收到我寄過去的修改版本,她會幾小時內告知壓下次回覆日期。說幾天就是幾天。 3. 收費合理 >>> - $100 to review and edit a CV/Resume - $150 to review and edit one Statement of Purpose (500–1500words) 敲定後收50%訂金,合作完成後再結清。用PayPal付款。 整個合作過程滿愉快的,Christine很好溝通,態度也很客氣,會用討論的方式來改。可能因為她以前當過英文老師的關係吧?滿妙的是,Christine在收到我第一個版本時,說"Overall, they look very good.",整體沒有動很多(?!)除了小小成就感之外,有種划不來的感覺XD 不過,因為許多分享文提到Christine多聊,所以我就盡量問她問題,用字遣詞格式,她也都很細心有問必答。 有幾個要注意的地方>>> 1. 時差:她住在美東(-5),跟我們差13小時。她也很固定白天工作回信。如果習慣開夜車的人,最好是可以小調整白天改,傍晚寄給她,這樣最有效率。 2. 用字偏美式(?):這是我後來才想到的。個人是申請歐陸學校,不知道會不會有差別。介意的人要考量進去。 3. 溝通要用英文:嗯。這也不是什麼問題啦,只是有時候要解釋自己寫不清楚的地方有點困難,其他都還好。 後續若有再找她改給其他學校的客製化版本,她是收一篇$22,5篇$100。 總之,SOP和CV很值得請專業老師潤稿。送件出去時踏實許多。 以上經驗給大家參考,希望有幫助喔! 2018.10.18新增: 收到版友站內信問C的背景,去信C詢問,回覆如下供參(直接複製貼上) As for my background, you could provide my LinkedIn profile at the following link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-drake-4756b32a/. Though I haven't updated this in a while, it gives a general idea of my academic and professional background. I have a BA in Cultural Anthropology with a minor in Spanish, and a Master's degree in Intercultural Service, Leadership and Management. I have been writing and editing in the professional capacity for about 11 years, mostly related to grants for nonprofit organizations, but I have also worked with students on their applications for higher education for over 6 years, first as an Education Specialist at an organization near Boston, MA and now as an independent contractor. The students that I have worked with have gotten accepted into master's and PhD programs at schools such as: UPenn, Columbia, Harvard, UCLA, University of Michigan, Washington University, Stockholm School of Economics, EPFL Switzerland, Delft University, among many others. And I have worked with students from many disciplines, including finance, sports management, statistics, analytics, computer science, social work, engineering, business, and many others. Hopefully this provides you a decent overview of my background. Let me know if you have any further questions. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 112.104.143.46 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/studyabroad/M.1519377345.A.76E.html ※ 編輯: zoe19918014 (112.104.143.46), 02/23/2018 17:33:07 ※ 編輯: zoe19918014 (112.104.143.46), 02/23/2018 17:55:09
