英语自传的问题

如何撰写英文自传
英文自传是指求职者自述本人生平经历的书面材料，也是对求职者个人简历的一种补充。

自传的写作内容除姓名，性别，年龄，出生地，家庭情况，学历之外，工作经历，工作业绩，科研成果，求职目的，奖惩情况等内容尤为重要。

自传的内容决定了它可以带有一些个人化的语言和充满感情的表述，与公事公办的简历，求职信不尽相同，因此往往大型的外国公司和机构非常看重。 申请出国留学时，自传（personal statement）的质量和内容也是成功的关键。

撰写英文自传时，不要一味说空话套话，有时一个日常生活中的小例子远胜于长篇累牍的流水帐。 还要特别注意：既不能自吹自擂，也不必过于谦虚，应该本着实事求是，不卑不亢的原则。

下附一例，以作说明：
