1、个人陈述写作技巧
(1)结构简单，衔接紧密
新西兰留学文书其实是你个人的广告!要重点突出，形象鲜明。仔细想想，留下深刻印象的广告哪个不是简明而富有创意的?许多申请人往往想把自己的全部优点都写出来告诉教授，觉得这样才能全面的展现自己。但是：“Simple is the best”，试想一下，招生教授天天都要做大量的教学工作，还要抽出时间阅读数量可观的留学申请资料，只有那种简单有力的文章才能HIT THE TARGET，让人印象深刻!我们的理念是简明而富有创意的。
(2)突出重点，主线明确
清楚有力地表达你的'求学动机，和学习学术能力。在国内有一种错误的观点，PS要“煽情”才能有效果。有的留学申请人就通过描述不相干活动展示“独特”的性格，或是学术上感觉没有什么可写的，就写自己考试时克服了重重困难，如何考取了好成绩!这是根本不着边际的写法，会让录取者发掘不到你的特点。要知道，PS是要在很短的时间内，清楚地用几百字告诉招生教授你是入学(奖学金)非常合格的人选，盲目“煽情”完全不需要。
(3)符合西方思维习惯
文化的差异导致东西方在什么是美德和优缺点的看法上不尽相同。在以往的经历中发现，有些留学申请人表达出来的“优点”实际上在西方看来是缺点，反映申请人对学术问题毫无主见;而有些申请人认为不好的东西恰恰是西方人所欣赏的，认为这些能表现出申请人布满个性。所以申请人要了解如何以西方的思维方式取舍你的申请素材，把有益的亮点有选择性地挑选出来，在适当地篇幅里展示出来。
2、个人陈述写作范文
商科专业申请个人陈述范文及说明：
As a child I often accompanied my father to his small coin shop and spent hours watching
him work. When I was older, I sometimes set up displays, waited on customers, and even balanced the books. This experience instilled in me the desire to own and manage my own business someday, yet I understand that the business world today is more complex. This complexity requires more education, and with that in mind, I am applying to the Master’s of Business Administration program at Indiana University Bloomington (IUB).
通过一个故事开头，讲述自己为何对business感兴趣。
In addition to my helping out in my father’s business, I have had numerous other work experiences that further enhance my qualifications for this program. My resume enumerates the various positions I have held at Kerasotes Theaters, Chili’s restaurants, and Indiana University’s new Student Recreational Sports Center (SRSC), and what all of these positions have in common is an emphasis on serving the public effectively. Further, as an assistant manager at the Showplace 11 and a staff coordinator at the SRSC, I have gained valuable expertise in managing employees and creating work schedules. Both of these positions have allowed me to develop my sales and people skills, which are extremely important in an increasingly service-driven marketplace.
讲述自己的相关经历，但是感觉在谈及经历时候不够具体，应该说明具体做了什么事情，从中得到什么经验或者教训。
Not all of my work experience has been as a paid employee. Part of my volunteering experience at Middleway House, the local battered women’s shelter, involved extensive work on computers, including word processing, organizing databases and creating spreadsheets. Also, I recently participated in an internship program for academic credit with the Eli Lilly corporation in the personnel division. As a management intern, I was able to watch the workings of a major corporation up close and would like the opportunity to combine my experiences with the theoretical background available in the MBA program at IUB, with its emphasis on computers, marketing and human resources.
志愿者活动同样值得在ps中讲述。
My successful internship is one element of my overall academic success as an undergraduate here at IUB, yet I have also made time for a variety of extracurricular activities, including working for my sorority and competing in intramural basketball. My positive experiences here have resulted in my desire to stay in Bloomington to continue my academic endeavors; furthermore, continuing my education here would allow me to make important business contacts, with the career goal of opening my own computer consulting firm in the Midwest.
