2. Why do you want to upgrade the background?

Almost all the top universities in the world 10 are occupied by the United States and Britain. Many students dream of entering top universities in the world, such as Harvard, Stanford, Oxford and Cambridge. However, in addition to examining whether the applicant has excellent academic performance, good English listening, speaking, reading and writing skills, and letters of recommendation from well-known tutors in the profession, prestigious schools attach more importance to the applicant's social practice resume, especially the full-time or part-time work resume. This is completely different from the enrollment standard that only looks at scores in the domestic college entrance examination. In the educational philosophy of the United States and Britain, not only do college students need internships before they graduate, but middle school students must also provide resumes about their work or other social practices before they can apply for universities, including the name and address of the unit and the main work contents of the position held by the applicant. In order to stand out among thousands of equally excellent applicants, we must improve our background.

4. How to improve the background?

Participate in various large-scale charitable activities and obtain relevant certificates. For example, take part in the Duke of Edinburgh Award in England and strive for a gold or silver award, which will give priority to further studies or employment.

The most common way to improve your background is to have a full-time internship in a large local enterprise and get a recommendation letter from the internship instructor through your excellent performance in the internship. In the United States and Britain, the websites of large enterprises have the recruitment information of unpaid interns. Large enterprises recruit interns, one is social responsibility to provide students with opportunities for social practice, and the other is to explore potential candidates who meet the requirements of enterprise employment and reserve talents by providing internship opportunities. Students who practice in enterprises can not only apply what they have learned, exercise their practical working ability and accumulate experience, but also accumulate contacts and prepare for future professional titles. Of course, it is most important to get high-value corporate recommendations. It is worth noting that the internship opportunities of good enterprises are highly competitive. Generally, you have to apply in advance 1 year, and you need to screen at different levels to enter these enterprises for internship.
