申請研究所一般要求三封推薦信。推薦人的身份可以是曾經教你的教授,或是現(曾)職工作單位主管,自已視需要組合。例如,如果你畢業十年,你的推薦人可應有二封工作主管為宜,而畢業一兩年頂多一封即足夠。 推薦人的職務,並不一定愈高愈有利,相反地,認識你愈久而職稱不高,內容又適當地表達你的個性(Personality),才是上乘的推薦。以下,我們將提供你推薦信需注意的要點,幫助你著手起稿推薦信:
接下來,這裡討論推薦信包含的主要題材:
推薦信的模式
推薦信的格式有些模式可循,以下將針對各段提供模式作參考:
(一)抬頭可用的格式有:
Dear Sir/Madam;
To Whom It May Concern:
(二)第一段:引文句子可以引用如:
“It is a pleasure to recommend to you (name), a former student of mine at (name of university).”
“I an very happy to have this opportunity to recommend (name), who is presently applying for admission to your graduate (or undergraduate) program in (name of program).”
“I understand that (name) is applying for admissions to your graduate (undergraduate) school, and has requested that I write this letter of recommendation for her/him.”
“In my capacity as professor at xxxx University, I have known xxx for three years, as both his/her advisor and professor.”
“(name) took two of my courses during the 1984-85 academic year, as follows; “xxxxx” and “xxxxx”.”
“(Name) was enrolled in three of classes from September 1984 to June 1986 “xxx” and “xxx”.”
接下來,教授寫一些有關申請人在課堂上的表現,如完成的研究計畫、實驗室研究、研究報告、考試的成績、課堂態度、討論課的參與等,舉出實例。
“In my class (es), (name) did excellent work. She always listened attentively, participated activitely in class, and handed in very good written assignment.
“In particular, his/her research paper on (topic) was of exceptionally high quality, and showed that s/he fully understands and has a strong background in his/her field.”
如果推薦人是工作主管,首先一定要仔細陳述申請人的工作職責,並對申請者工作表現作一評估。如果可能的話盡量列舉實例。
“When (name) held the position of (job title) in this company she was one s/he was one of my best employees. His/her job responsibilities included (describe them), and s/he carried out his/her duties with exceptional skill and professionalism.”
“S/he not only did his/her own work, but also helped other employees, and made many valuable contributions to the efficient running to our firm.”
第二段最後一段:可以提及申請人在班上(或公司裡)的比較表現(譬如排名):
“I was rate (name)'s academic ability as in the top 10% of his/her class.”
“Compared against other students that I have taught, I would say that (name) ranks in the upper 10%.
接下來,推薦者可對申請人能否成功完成學業提出看法。舉例:
“Based on his/her previous performance, I am certain that (name) would be a very successful student at your university.”
“I believe that (name) possesses all the qualities necessary to make an excellent graduate student in his/her chosen field, and am sure that s/he will make a fine addition to your campus.”
“Therefore, I am happy to highly and without reservation recommend (name) for admission to your graduate program. Your kind/serious consideration of his/her application would be most appreciated.”
“I am thus pleased to give my full support and recommendation to (name)'s application for admission to your school. If any further information is required, please feel free to contact me.”
