想請大家分享SOP給我參考

由 **andreaww** » 2006-09-23 16:34

我想申請英教方面的學校
不過不知道去哪裡可以找到大量的SOP文參考
請問有沒有人可以慷慨分享或是告訴我去哪裡找呢？謝謝

另外，因為是這幾天才來註冊所以有點搞不太清楚
請問這裡除了考試資料庫外，有沒有關於申請學校文件等的討論精華區阿?

謝謝大家 :smile

小弟野人獻曝不怕人笑
拋磚引玉貢獻一下
本版主要是申請MBA
小弟把當初入學前的各題申請essay貢獻站上參考
當時還未受本校MBA變態intensive寫作特訓摧殘
現在回頭看起來嚴謹性感覺有點像玩具
不過內容就申請學校而言應該很夠看

學校的essay並不是很難說實在挑戰性中等
但有很強的相關性跟特殊屬性走向
站上若有個人行銷高手
應該在三題內就能完整展現全方位特質
並能區分出其他申請人功力高下

小弟自幼自知駑鈍比不上天資聰穎的各方高手
只能土法煉鋼幾乎從高中開始就想辦法累積活動經驗
及對自我特性及性格興趣的了解
並儘可能推向自身適切走向的最大化價值
異想天開想拿興趣當飯吃

經歷坎坷學業及多次跳槽
退伍工作快兩年才繼續邊工作邊完成大學
未來走向/自身特性/興趣等媒合
配合實務經驗與理論修習的最大效益學無可學才跳槽
多年困而學之後發現需求缺口
循線找到原來所需資源都在MBA裡
因此選擇MBA路線及選校,essay在當時還算稍有方向

寫作前花了很長時間做self-assessment跟career positioning
儘可能依學校特性fit in將自身價值極大化
看準了適合學校想說人笨寧為雞首不為牛後
只申請這間還好命中率不差

英文草稿邊上班邊改花了兩三個禮拜
後來火大改用中文兩小時半完成三題essay
再翻英文修修改改大約花了半天多

檔案中有完整三題essay+一題optional英文寫作內容及中文草稿
還有兩封推荐信內容
推薦人資料保密處理
希望對站上有點幫助

感謝你!
我就想說怎麼都試MBA的東西
原來是我跑錯地方 :^)

附一個職涯自我檢視表
既然要貢獻就做全套好了
當初為了把自己搞懂
東拼西湊乾脆自行研發生了個表格出來
很好用還沒遇到不能用的
先前有分享過
不過大概沉到海底去嚕

如果閒來無事卻找半天不曉得自己到底做了哪些事是好事
可以把這些項目塡一填
項目與項目間若能找出邏輯連貫性
應該就出師了
essay跟resume就可以完整貫串一以貫之
若能再配上MBA課程邏輯的需求點切入
可以保證不管前後左右上下總攻擊正的攻反的切
都無懈可擊見招拆招

essay是整個生涯脈絡的整合呈現
resume履歷是生涯工作的成就累積跟轉折年表
會跟essay高度相關
或是完全密合
即使不密合也會有痕跡可能是後來經驗體認後發現新大陸

老經驗的審核委員只要把essay跟resume一拼起來連連看
每個花半分鐘可以輕鬆刪掉七八成的學生

這個表可以知道從校園生涯到職場路線
主要成就跟邏輯連貫
到環境興趣休閒跟成長背景
到動機目的長短程目標
滿好用

How to use this Career Assessment Sheet efficiently by yourself:

1. fulfill your birth year, count how many years did you work for
2. fulfill your scores, your undergrad/major, and GPA, compare these with the general average scores for perspective schools
3. fulfill your work experience, specify the job functions and industries. If you transfered job(s), find out the "correlative feature(s)" among these jobs. eg: the same industries, the same focus on quantity, the same in dealing with people...etc.
4. fulfill your club experience (if applicable), find out the "correlative feature(s)" with job feature(s). Find out is there any connection with feature(s) in your academy and/or work experience.
5. fulfill your interests and leisure activities

LEAVE the short/long-term goals, career drive, and motivation BLANK at this moment.

now, THINK.

According to the Recognition Harmony theory in psychology
when ever you're making decision in every "turning point"
most of the time your recognition mechanism needs to be balanced
either consciously or subconsiously
it's a very practical and powerful mechanism that you might never notice that.

THINK BACK to each "turning point" in your pass, deeply.
what's the real reason behind your rationale to make that change?
what's the pros and cons you considered at that moment?
what's the maximized benefit you chose? why?

If you have more than two twisting points (from campus to your jobs)
compare them if there's any correlative trait?

Than you'll dig out some "real" motivatons and "real" goals
it may be strange that sometimes they're different from what you think at the begining

Try to specify these motivations and goals
then check if your career path are connected
if yes, CONGRADULATIONS!! you can write your essays right now!

if no, there must be something invisible and hiding somewhere.
because your subconsciousness should be connected and continuous.
Then try some other turning points. The "inspiring spot" must be hiding somewhere, or you would not be where your position right now.
