顧名思義，簡歷即個人信息的簡要概括。其形式一般簡潔，內容通常一目了然。簡歷的制作目的就是讓錄取人員通過字里行間的簡明信息對申請人有大致的了解。通常來說留學簡歷信息涵蓋如下幾個版塊：

第一版塊囊括申請人的個人基本信息，即姓名、性別、出生日期、目前聯系地址、電話、傳真、電郵地址等。

示例如下：

　　Personal Information

　　Name: XXX

　　Sex: XXX

　　Date of Birth: XXX

　　Address: No. XXX, XXX Street, XXX District, XXX City, P.R.China

　　Postcode: XXXXXX

　　Telephone: 86-XXX-XXXXXX

　　Fax: 86-XXX-XXXXX

　　E-mail: xxxx@xxx.com

第二版塊通常為申請人的教育背景。一般是按照由近至遠的時間順序羅列申請人接受高等教育經歷，如研究生，本科生等。如所入讀中學為全國重點知名院校也可以列出以便幫助錄取人員更好了解申請人的受教育經歷。示例如下：

　　Education Information/Background

　　09/2003-present

　　XXXX (university)

　　Major: XXX (注明改專業為研究生、本科或者專科項目，即， graduate/undergraduate/junior college program)

　　Master’s Degree/Bachelor’s Degree /Associate Degree pending

第三、四、五版塊通常介紹學生的學生工作經歷、社會實踐經歷、獲獎情況、培訓經歷等，可依據內容劃分版塊或把相關信息歸納至一個版塊。示例如下

留學簡歷通常以個人興趣或者一段自我評價收尾，以便讓錄取人員更加了解申請人。通常情況下，個人興趣及自我評價應該盡量用歸納性的語言簡潔明了地概括自己。太多的舉例會顯得過于繁瑣，通常情況下介詞詞組，形容詞等應靈活運用在此版塊。如：Interests

　　Science fiction， swimming，travel，movie，pop music，street dance，etc.

　　Self-comment

　　Positive, optimistic, sanguine and confident; equipped with vivacious character, good psychological quality, strong independence, sense of innovation, abilities in thinking the problems independently and solving them calmly and team spirit; able to bear hardship and stand hard work in study, uplift study and practice capabilities step by step in tense studying and living environment and keep perfecting myself ceaselessly

以上版塊組成了一份完整地簡歷。總之，制作簡歷的時候一定要遵照簡單、精要、明了的原則。長篇大論或者小事大化都是不合適的。記住一份成功的簡歷就是讓錄取人員直接獲取他們想要的東西，而不是看了以后不知所云或倍感羅嗦。
