第一篇:cv與動機信注意事項
個人簡歷,在法語里面是“Curriculum Vitae”,但更多時簡稱為“CV”;而我們通常所說的“申請信”、“求職信”等等,在法國通稱為“La Lettre de Motivation”,簡稱為motivation, 直譯即為“動機信”。這兩樣?xùn)|西,在法國是非常普遍、也是非常重要的,不管是找工作、找實習(xí)還是聯(lián)系學(xué)校,都是必須提供的材料之一,而且往往居于其他材料之首。也許有人以為這沒什么大驚小怪的,在國內(nèi)找工作時就需要這些東西。而在法國,除了找工作,在聯(lián)系實習(xí)和學(xué)校時往往也被要求提供這兩份東西。法國人對簡歷和動機信的重視程度,肯定超出了我們中國人的想象力。你只要去書店、商場、圖書館、就業(yè)中心等地方轉(zhuǎn)一轉(zhuǎn),你就肯定會看到各種有關(guān)CV和動機信的指導(dǎo)書,定價不菲。在大學(xué)第三階段授課中,有專門的課程教授你如何寫這兩份文章,授課老師大都是這方面的專業(yè)人士。有的網(wǎng)站和公司還專門以幫人設(shè)計CV和動機信為生,生意很是紅火(寫簡歷也能寫成專家,當(dāng)作職業(yè),夸張吧)。
我本人就上過這方面的4堂課,老師是學(xué)校在外面請的精通人際交流的專家,課后的作業(yè)就是每人寫2篇,老師幫助修改,使我們受益匪淺,也澄清了我在這方面的認(rèn)識誤區(qū):法國人不但重視CV和動機信的用詞、造句、構(gòu)思,對于版面的編排,字體字號的使用,紙張的使用都非常重視。
在這方面,我算不得專家,只是與其他中國學(xué)生相比,接觸得更早、更多,曾花過一些時間做了些研究,俗話說久病成醫(yī),說起來還算有些心得。時至今日,為了申請學(xué)校和找工作,我的簡歷和動機信已經(jīng)修改了幾十版,在這些撰寫和修改的過程中,我學(xué)到了許多技巧和規(guī)則。當(dāng)然,有關(guān)這方面的法語指導(dǎo)書是很多的,但要我們這些人外國人真正看完研透,恐怕難有幾人;再說這些書并沒有考慮到我們中國學(xué)生的實際情況,生搬硬套未必行得通。所以我想把我的心得體會寫出來,對大家也許是個參考。
在法國大學(xué)教育第三階段(涵蓋我國的碩士和博士)的申請中,一個專業(yè)二、三十個名額,往往會有500以上甚至上千人投書申請。大家的學(xué)歷、經(jīng)驗相差不多的情況下,一份好的簡歷和動機信往往起著關(guān)鍵的作用,這也是許多招聘(招生)資深人士所公開宣稱的。一個申請高級職位或者高級學(xué)歷的人,如果連簡歷和動機信都寫不好,其他的資料不看也罷。
首先要對簡歷和動機信有個正確的認(rèn)識。許多中國學(xué)生一看要寫CV和La Lettre de Motivation頭就大了,不知從何下手。豈不知這正是發(fā)揮我們優(yōu)勢的時候,可以給我們一個機會來包裝、推銷自己,讓人家更好地認(rèn)識我們,無論如何要比用口頭表達(dá)要有利得多。
下面是幾個寫作誤區(qū):
1、這兩篇切忌長篇大論,各1頁足以,除非你已經(jīng)有了十幾年的工作經(jīng)驗要講。
2、版面一定要清晰易讀,特別是CV,標(biāo)題和內(nèi)容字號分開,排版加上一定的修飾最好(比如斜體,陰影)。
3、動機信切忌寫的像散文,更不要寫那些空話大話,象什么為祖國建設(shè)添磚加瓦,貢獻(xiàn)自己的什么力量之類的,老外不會理解我們的教育方式,他們認(rèn)為讀書工作是你自己的事情,不用戴個大帽子。
4、不要謙虛,不要自貶,比如說:我并不是最優(yōu)秀,但我會更努力之類的話。
5、切忌亂抄,雖然別人的專業(yè)和你學(xué)的差不多,但每個人有自己的特點,一定寫出自己的獨特之處,發(fā)光點。
其次,就是學(xué)一些設(shè)計和擬寫CV、動機信的技巧、經(jīng)驗和規(guī)則。剛開始的時候,可以學(xué)著模擬。先找?guī)追菥实臉影?,依葫蘆畫瓢。很多同學(xué)經(jīng)常為找不到好的模版發(fā)愁,其實找模版有個很簡單的辦法:google.fr, 你在搜索詞上輸入: CV +informatique, 你就能找到很多法國人寫的計算機方面的CV, 簡單吧。
當(dāng)然,即便是模擬,也還是要有自己的東西,完全照抄肯定是不可能的。所以,模擬作品也要找人幫你看一下,往往被人糾正的,正是你自己增加或者改動的地方。
當(dāng)你模擬了數(shù)十份以上,你肯定開始不滿意這種缺少個性化的東西。這就對了,其實你的收件人也不滿意這千篇一律的文本。正如他們所言:看到這些一個模板出來的作品,我就聯(lián)想到一個沒有創(chuàng)造力、缺乏積極性的人——言下之意不言而喻。模擬只是一個過渡,我們始終都要設(shè)計出符合自己個性的簡歷和動機信。動手寫之前,首先要弄清楚一些規(guī)則和技巧,絕不要用中國人的思維來假設(shè)和想象。經(jīng)常的情況是:我們認(rèn)為精彩的句子和構(gòu)思,往往卻被法國人嗤之以鼻。文化上的差異,不經(jīng)過面對面的碰撞,是完全不可想象的。
招聘(招生)人員在提供職位(學(xué)位)的時候,對于招收什么樣的人他們都已經(jīng)有個輪廓和標(biāo)準(zhǔn)了。而我們要做的,一是告訴人家你正好符合這些要求,二是想辦法打消招收者的疑慮。有一個很有效的辦法:先把你身上所有的、哪怕細(xì)枝末節(jié)的優(yōu)點都羅列出來,然后圈出與你所謀求職位(學(xué)位)有關(guān)的優(yōu)點,再把這些優(yōu)點按照從重要到一般的順序進(jìn)行排列。在寫動機信的時候,把排在最前面的、最關(guān)鍵的幾項優(yōu)點描述出來,同時與簡歷結(jié)合,舉例證明。不要空洞地說你“具備很強的組織能力”,而要概括地引用一、二個你的經(jīng)歷以資證明——點到即止,不要展開。
好多人搞不懂為什么有了簡歷,還要動機信?如何協(xié)調(diào)二者的關(guān)系?法國人認(rèn)為簡歷是客觀的東西,里面羅列的是一個人的學(xué)歷、經(jīng)驗和特長等事實,其中不乏數(shù)字和專有名稱。而動機信則是較主觀的東西,能把簡歷中的事實與對方的要求及提供的職位(學(xué)位)聯(lián)系起來,以表明你適合他們所提供的職位(學(xué)位)。打個比方,在簡歷中你聲稱“在大學(xué)二年級做過一個關(guān)于化妝品的市場調(diào)查”,這是一個客觀事實;而在動機信中,你就應(yīng)該進(jìn)一步闡述“該調(diào)查使我有機會將課堂所學(xué)與實踐結(jié)合起來,并借此初步建立了市場調(diào)查的經(jīng)驗和技巧”,以應(yīng)對方所提供的“市場調(diào)查員”一職。簡歷和動機信是同一事物的兩個方面,但不應(yīng)該是內(nèi)容的重復(fù),而是各有所重,協(xié)同作戰(zhàn)。雖然說不得重復(fù),但你身上最耀眼的王牌還是有重復(fù)必要的,只是形式不同而已——你不會傻到照抄一遍吧?比如你最得意自己的組織能力,而你在簡歷中說到自己“成功組織過2004年中法小學(xué)生手
牽手活動”;那你就可以在動機信中稍微定義一下這次活動,然后再說“這次活動更證明了我在活動組織方面的能力和經(jīng)驗”。
動機信到底是不是一定要手寫?這是一個經(jīng)常被問到的問題。這個問題我估計也只會發(fā)生在法國這么一個“古老落后”的國家。在美國、加拿大許多西方國家都基本不接受手寫的東西,而法國的許多機構(gòu)卻還在以研究筆跡為樂??梢哉f,法國是個流行用手寫動機信的國家,但近幾年情況也有所變化,大部分用人單位和教育機構(gòu)都不再強調(diào)manuscrite,甚至個別組織機構(gòu)還聲明不接受手寫資料。我認(rèn)為,只要對方不明確要求,動機信也可以跟CV一樣用電腦打印出來,一來可以避免寫字不漂亮的尷尬;二來可以爭取時間,先人一步——特別是找工作,搶時間是很關(guān)鍵的。但要是人家規(guī)定了用手寫的話,那你就老老實實去爬格子吧,哪怕你的字寫得再難看。當(dāng)然,如果你本來就寫得一手好字,那即使人家不作要求,你也大可以亮上一手。本人還是傾向于用電腦打印,因為用電腦可以排版出極漂亮的文本格式,而且法語版的WORD還可以幫我們糾正拼寫和語法錯誤。用手寫常常是顧得了動詞變位卻又忘了性數(shù)的配合,有時檢查好幾遍都沒查出來。而要是放在電腦里面,它早就用紅線標(biāo)出來了,接著還有修改建議。WORD的拼寫和語法檢查功能在法語里面可是表現(xiàn)了其真正的價值。
相信每一個將要或者已經(jīng)留法的學(xué)子們,都知道出國前申請簽證要寫“留學(xué)計劃書”,而且要翻譯成法語。其實,對法國人來說,根本沒有什么“留學(xué)計劃”一類的應(yīng)用文,即使有什么計劃也都包含在動機信里面了,我在法國還從來沒有看到過以此命名的東東。在申請大學(xué)的動機信里面,就需要以一個段落提到你的專業(yè)修業(yè)計劃。這一部分很重要,要仔細(xì)研究課程設(shè)置之后才可動筆,否則會“ETRE
A COTE DE LA PLAQUE”(牛頭不對馬嘴)。即使對于同一個專業(yè),各個大學(xué)的課程安排是不一樣的,側(cè)重點也有所不同,因此文本復(fù)制的功能不大用得上。
“留學(xué)計劃書”的具體寫法,在這里先討論一下?!傲魧W(xué)計劃書”實質(zhì)上應(yīng)叫“留學(xué)動機信(La lettre de motivation)”。從內(nèi)容上講,大體分為三部分。開頭當(dāng)然是自我介紹,報完姓名之后,就只管揀好聽的說:何等學(xué)歷,什么工作,法語水平……。第二部分寫留學(xué)法國的動機與目的。這部分看起來是關(guān)鍵,寫起來卻千篇一律,無外乎是法國之發(fā)達(dá),科技之先進(jìn),語言之美麗,再加上你言之鑿鑿求知之迫切,國家之需要,等等,寫來寫去就這么些東西。第三部分就是真正的留學(xué)計劃了,你大可以吹自己“一年語言、二年專業(yè)、三年回國”的打算。在內(nèi)容之外,我覺得反倒要注意的是留學(xué)動機信的格式。想當(dāng)初我們都是以文章的格式來打印的:首先標(biāo)題,然后一、二、三……自然段,最后簽名、日期。其實這是不符合規(guī)矩的。既為動機信,就應(yīng)該以法語書信的格式來寫,在日期、城市、雙方地址之后,才是上面那些內(nèi)容,簽名之前還有信末祝語。
上面說了一大堆,寫起來非得要二頁紙不可。但是,不行!法國的簡歷和動機信通常是不能超過一頁紙的,而留學(xué)這等“小事”,更是屬于“通?!敝?。簡歷還好把握,利用表格的形式充分利用空間,或者刪掉一些次要的內(nèi)容,甚至把字體變小一些,怎么都能解決。問題在于動機信,在區(qū)區(qū)一張A4紙上,既要有內(nèi)容的翔實,又要兼顧到格式的美觀,還是有些難度的;如果再要求手寫的話,更是難上加難。這里除了有效地利用紙張空間外,還得學(xué)會一些有效的表達(dá)技巧,不過這就涉及到語言運用的問題了,不是本文所能解決得了的。我的體會是,為了在同樣長度的句子里面,盡可能表達(dá)更多的信息,學(xué)會運用定語從句、伴隨動作和介詞是很重要的。這里看來得打個比方才行。我在申請大學(xué)的時候,某大學(xué)某專業(yè)要求“必須畢業(yè)于經(jīng)濟(jì)類學(xué)院”,而我正是,在寫動機信的時候便有所不同:“持有某經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)院頒發(fā)的學(xué)士學(xué)位和數(shù)年專業(yè)工作經(jīng)驗,我冒昧申請貴校的DESS國際商法專業(yè)……”,寫到后來,我連“冒昧(me permettre)”二字都省掉了,你看,這就又多出12個字符的空間。有人會耍小聰明了:一張紙,正面寫不下我寫到背面行不?那我告訴你,如果你確實“罄竹難書”的話,還不如用二頁紙的好。
法國人還很重視稱呼,男士稱“Monsieur”,女士“Madame”,未婚女性是“Mademoiselle”,第一個字母永遠(yuǎn)大寫。法國人從名字就能判斷性別,如果你看不出來的話,最好要問清楚,切不可混淆弄錯。我如果確定不了的話,就會走到街上隨便拉住一個人問:這個名字是男還是女?然后才好起筆寫下稱呼啊。如果招收單位沒有提供任何人名,則用“Madame, Monsieur”泛指即可,這是最可靠的稱呼了。書面表達(dá)時不可在人家的名字前面使用縮語,如M.、Mme.等,這樣被認(rèn)為是不禮貌的,還是用全拼的好。另外要記得信末祝語里面的稱謂一定要與前面開頭的稱呼保持一致,如果前面用了Monsieur
le Directeur(主任先生)”,結(jié)尾時照抄即可,不要有變化。
一個比較難于把握的是簡歷和動機信里面的側(cè)重點和粗細(xì)問題??梢哉f,簡歷和動機信既是概括的,又是是具體的;既是簡要的,又是全面的。所謂概括和簡要,就是說對優(yōu)點和經(jīng)驗的陳述都是言簡意賅、總而言之的,不能太過細(xì)節(jié);但同時又要具體、全面,要有時間、人物、地點、事件等實質(zhì)性要素,從而個性化你的簡歷,立體化你的形象。只說自己“有二年行業(yè)軟件設(shè)計經(jīng)驗”,未免太空洞了;但是如果再具體一點講“2002年至2003年期間,在北京長城軟件工程公司參與財務(wù)操作軟件的設(shè)計與調(diào)試”,這樣,在人家面前出現(xiàn)的就是一個活生生的你了,而不再是“千人一面”中的一員了。當(dāng)然,這是在與對方所要求或者所期望相關(guān)聯(lián)的方面,渲染潑墨都是應(yīng)該的;否則,如果與應(yīng)聘職位并無多少關(guān)聯(lián)的,大可一筆帶過,不加闡述,管人家信也好,不信也罷。
其他細(xì)節(jié)性的問題,例如上下左右的頁白空間、書寫動機信的干凈整潔、信末祝語的正確使用、標(biāo)點符號的規(guī)范運用、信紙信封的常規(guī)選擇……,只要平時稍加留意、作個對比,或者開動腦筋想一下,肯定就會有所明白。

this kind of major, which is generally called “Interdisziplinare Forschung” in Germany, can approve me a lot in both aspects of electronics and finance.Nowadays every thing needs “Synthese”.For instance: in cultural respect, “Synthese” provides much more chance to make people all over the world know about each other;in financial filed, it makes common wealthy of different countries.It will make me more competitive, with good command of electrical knowledge and the extra economical information.When I graduated, I can seek a job not only in an Electrical Company, but also in a Financial Planning Corporation.I am planning to be an engineer only electrical technology.Thirdly, Braunschweig is the 2nd biggest city of Niedersachsen.I have overlooked through the “Goolge Earth” and gathered some information about Braunschweig on internet.It’s beautiful and much more like a peaceful town than a metropolis.This kind of surrounding is particularly suitable for studying.Living and studying in Munchen or Stuttgart, cities with the highest living cost in Germany, will exceed my budget.And I think my choice can lower the financial pressure to my family, since the cost of living in Braunschweig is not as high as in other Cities like Stuttgart or Munchen.First of all, the major I am applying for is “Precision Manufacturing”, while in China my major is Mechanical Engineering and Automation with a Bachelor Degree.In my opinion,the major Precision Manufacturing is an extension for my current major.I think I can get more professional knowledges than I can get inland and extend my knowledge fields to enhance my competitive strength.Secondly,as we know, the major of Precision Manufacturing,which has an close conection with industry,is an important major for a country’s development.It is in an indivisible relation with science and technology.I have strong interest on this major because I intreset in all kinds of measures of manufacturing especially incredibile and innovative processes.Thirdly, Switzerland possesses internationally recognized qualities and skills in the fields of education,science and technology.Its university including SUPSI focuses on education based on professional need and on applied reseach the university.They provide a practice-oriented education and offer a wide range of bachelor’s and master’s programs.For my part,I prefer practice-oriented educcation to pure reseach-oriented.I think that it's more important to use what you have learnt in virtual life than to reseach various of theories beyond our application.In addition,the institution cooperates with our university.Due to the cooperation between the Chinese and Swiss governments on this project,the fees are low.Living and studying in cities with the highest living cost will exceed my budget.And I think my choice can lower the financial pressure to my family.
第四篇:如何寫出國動機信
如何寫動機信
動機信大體分為三個部分,首先是開頭做個簡單的自我介紹和表明此封動機信的目的,注意要簡單,明確,使老師讀的時候一目了然。然后再做具體闡述說明,第二部分可以是一段,也可以再分段,但重點一定要突出。最后,就是表達(dá)一下心愿,期盼早日得到學(xué)校的回復(fù)。具體如下:
第一部分,做一個簡單的自我介紹,學(xué)歷背景,想要申請什么學(xué)校,什么專業(yè)。
其次開始介紹自身特點,有何特長,做過什么論文,參加過什么樣的社會實習(xí),學(xué)校活動,在活動中扮演過什么樣的角色等等,要突出自己的優(yōu)勢,給老師最好的印象。
第二部分
1.是結(jié)合自己所學(xué)的專業(yè),興趣愛好或?qū)戆l(fā)展目標(biāo),或家庭背景等來說說為什么要選這個專業(yè),所選的這個專業(yè)對自己將來的職業(yè)發(fā)展有什么幫助,對所學(xué)專業(yè)有什么興趣,例如什么課程或項目的設(shè)置對你如何有幫助或能力提高等等。
具體以“為什么選擇這個專業(yè)項目”為主題展開敘述。這就要求學(xué)生首先要對所選擇的國家,學(xué)校,專業(yè)的背景情況都比較熟悉,熟悉自己所要申請的具體項目和課程內(nèi)容。這樣,結(jié)合自己的實際情況敘述時內(nèi)容才能顯得具體,豐富,針對性強,讓審核老師看到時也能印象深刻。應(yīng)對老師的面試時才能有的放矢,而不是講空話,泛泛之談。
2是個人的職業(yè)規(guī)劃,將來自己想在什么樣的領(lǐng)域,行業(yè)發(fā)展(可以具體到以后想去什么樣的部門工作),此行業(yè)和領(lǐng)域必須是你現(xiàn)在喜愛或比較熟悉的領(lǐng)域,因為面試時老師會問到有關(guān)此職業(yè)發(fā)展的一些問題,如果對此行業(yè)不了解,會影響面試表現(xiàn)。
最后一部分為非常簡潔的總結(jié)語,感謝老師的閱讀,期盼能夠來學(xué)校讀書的愿望。
總之,老外的思維方式是比較直線式的,所以學(xué)生在做動機信的時候,不要用發(fā)散式的思維方式去書寫動機信,切忌長篇大論,空談,泛談,結(jié)合自己的實際情況來說明自己為什么選擇貴校的此專業(yè),將來想到什么部門工作,專業(yè)對工作有什么幫助,外國老師不希望學(xué)生只是為了一張文憑才去讀書的。
第五篇:推薦信動機信
什么是推薦信?
推薦信,是推薦人(通常擔(dān)任一定領(lǐng)導(dǎo)職務(wù))就被推薦人(此處為項目申請人)的學(xué)習(xí)喜歡,工作技能,和主要成績等給予評價,并以推薦人名義提交的信函。絕大多數(shù)學(xué)校要求每位申請人提供3至4封來自不同推薦人的推薦信。
為什么推薦信如此重要?
推薦信是申請人提供的唯一體現(xiàn)第三方評價的材料。在審閱了個人陳述,簡歷等資料后,申請審核官迫切希望看到他人對申請人優(yōu)勢,能力,及成績的評價,以達(dá)到從多角度進(jìn)行判斷的目的。推薦信是歐美國家求學(xué)申請和工作申請中不可或缺的部分。一封客觀且內(nèi)容豐富的推薦信可以極大的增加申請材料的整體可信度,提升申請人被錄取的可能。
以下是一份推薦信的模板:不同老師的推薦信采用不相同的字體和排版!

什么是動機信:
動機信就是“個人陳述或目的陳述”,是關(guān)于申請人個人背景,出國目的,以及職業(yè)規(guī)劃的簡要描述。目前,歐美絕大多數(shù)大學(xué),研究生院均要求入學(xué)申請人提交個人陳述、目的陳述、或類似申請資料。其中,個人陳述應(yīng)更多側(cè)重于申請人的個人經(jīng)歷,而目的陳述則應(yīng)更多側(cè)重于申請人的求學(xué)計劃。
為什么個人陳述/目的陳述如此重要?
如諺語所述,“你沒有第二次機會去打造第一印象?!?/p>
個人陳述/目的陳述是審核官對申請人獲取感性認(rèn)識的第一途徑,也是申請人從數(shù)千萬成績優(yōu)異,經(jīng)驗豐富的競爭者中脫穎而出的重要手段。申請人的成長背景,性格特點,愛好專長,求學(xué)目標(biāo)等均將受到申請審核官的特別關(guān)注,進(jìn)而對申請結(jié)果產(chǎn)生重大影響。
可以說,一篇出眾的個人陳述/目的陳述是錄取成功的必備要素,而個性鮮明則是一篇優(yōu)秀個人陳述/目的陳述的第一要訣。

Personal Statement
In 2009, when everyone in China was saving money for real estate investments, I was putting money away so that I could come to the United States and study.This was not a popular decision among my family and friends.Why would I give up a great job and life to travel half way across the earth and become a poor college student again? I don’t know how many times I tried to explain to them that I thought it would be a good investment and that in the end it would benefit my life and my career tremendously.The second reason(and maybe the most important)is that I truly enjoy learning and obtaining knowledge;it makes me feel I am growing as a person and gives me a great sense of self-satisfaction.My grandfather was a respected professor at a prestigious university prior to the Cultural Revolution and both my parents are senior engineers who graduated from the best university in China.Though we were never rich by any means, my parents always made it a priority to take me to museums, bookstores, and famous colleges in their spare time.I loved reading stories about famous scientists, especially those who persisted in their theories no matter how difficult the situation.The atmosphere in my house was one that allowed me to cultivate my mind and find my passion.My decision to major in accounting came from my three-year term as the treasurer of my high school class.There I was responsible for recording, archiving receipts, making the annual budget, and collecting and refunding money for programs.This job transformed me into a
patient and organized person who wanted to learn more about financial management.In 2001, I enrolled as an accounting student at the(college name).(college name)is one of the most competitive universities in China and my time there taught me a lot about the spirit of hard work.Each of my last three years at the university I was awarded a level 3 scholarship as an
outstanding student.Upon graduation my major GPA was a 3.6 which ranked me among the top 15 percent of my class.To prove my accounting sense and financial management capability I postponed my graduate education and accepted a position as an auditor at(accounting firm name)Beijing Branch.During my 4-year employment there I had the opportunity to experience the full range of planning, auditing, and reporting.Among my duties there were:(1)the designing of suitable audit methods for clients,(2)using procedures to exam and analyze accounts,(3)evaluating the fairness of financial statements and reports,(4)and providing recommendations regarding improving operations and financial positions of clients.My largest client when I was with(accounting firm name)was(company name).I worked as an auditor of their IPO program and on the first annual audit after that.One of the things I am
most proud of is the Revenue and Cost recognition model I created while I was there.It was based on the percentage-of-completion method and could check for inconsistencies within the data, calculate the revenue of projects, and exam clients’ combination results when there are inter-subcontracts.This model was adopted as the major tool for the entire team of auditors(approximately 100)and to my knowledge is still used in(company name’s)audit team today.My work there not only confirmed my competence in the accounting field, but also trained me into a diligent and persevering professional.More than 50% of my clients were new clients, meaning we had no records in our database to refer to.The challenge of starting from the very beginning is stressful and exciting at the same time.I found myself extremely motivated when I had the authority to design procedures and make decisions.The feeling of success and
confidence I gained from serving new clients is the main reason why I stayed with the(company name)team for 20 months.My work there gave me a great sense of self-satisfaction and was recognized by my peers and supervisors.I was rewarded for my hard work by being one of the top paid employees at my level during my last three years of employment.When working as an auditor, the thing that interested me most is the conversion between
different GAAPs.My experience of serving publicly listed companies in China, Hong Kong, and the US made me realize there are many theoretical differences between PRC GAAP, IFRS, and US GAAP.The accounting principles adopted by different countries not only show their stages of development, but also express their culture and social preferences.So is it really possible that we eliminate the GAAP difference by implementing IFRS? I am not sure what the right answer is but it is my opinion that the current IFRS employed in Hong Kong is vague and can be the source of many discussable issues.US GAAP, on the other hand, provides a much more advanced and structured approach to accounting.Maybe the US will adopt the IFRS eventually, but I believe that the US GAAP will still provide helpful guidance in the future.Learning more about the US GAAP is one of the main reasons I want to pursue an Education in the United States and I hope to obtain the AICPA license prior to my graduation.I chose the accounting program at the(college name)not only because of its great reputation, but also because of the financial services option that I am especially interested in.Though my auditing experience proved my accounting skills, I also want to learn more about financial tools, such as bonds, forward contracts, and arbitrage.New businesses are relying more and more on the capital markets and having a solid knowledge of financing is a necessary commodity in the accounting field.With(college name’s)financial services option I would be able to take more than 20 credit hours of finance classes, which will help me become much more proficient in the area of financial analysis.After graduate school, I plan to go back to China and consider a career in a new developing industry.The ability to see my accounting and financial management knowledge evolve into a hopeful, healthy, developing business is my motivation for this choice.Although many of my family and friends may not think that coming to the US to study is the best decision, I believe it will broaden my knowledge of accounting to an extent that I could
never find in my home country.Also it will allow me to follow my own passion and learn from another culture which will be an invaluable asset for the rest of my life.applicant’s name
