Biography: OO O O O (中文名) Being on the verge of attaining a master’s degree from National OO University’s Graduate School of Materials Science and Engineering and having completed an internship as an experimental laboratory technician at world-leading laboratory O O O OOO (OO-OOO), I am eager to apply for the position of semiconductor engineer. I also hold a bachelor’s degree with a major in Materials Science and Engineering from National OO University. I am meticulous and curious, I like to acquire new knowledge, and I am diligent in keeping abreast of the latest developments in my profession. At university, I received the Academic Excellence Award twice. Since 20XX, I have been a postgraduate student at National OO University, where I have spent most of my time studying and conducting experiments. It has been an enriching time, and I expect to complete my master’s degree in the summer of 20XX. In my junior year, I worked on diamond/Ag composites for my special topic, which helped cultivate my problem-solving abilities. In my senior year, during the summer vacation, I worked as an intern in charge of XRD analysis at OO-OOO. This opportunity gave me a better understanding of how to work with analytical instruments. During my internship, my manager shared many insights into the industry, and my co-workers shared their career and life planning and communication skills with me. I benefited greatly from this experience. While studying for my master’s degree, I learned very much from my advisor, O-O O, who is an expert in the field of shape-memory alloys. In addition to giving me a solid theoretical and practical foundation, he has had a profound influence on my outlook on life. I have participated in several extracurricular activities. In my first year of college, I assisted and taught vulnerable primary-school students in Hualien in an activity hosted by the OO Social Welfare Foundation. In my second year, I systematically compiled the personal information of about 200 people at a National High School Student Science Camp. In my third year, I volunteered at the Society for Animal Welfare in OO, where I taught children to get along with animals and how to handle them correctly, and helped cultivate their empathy toward animals. In my fourth year, I worked at school to pay for my living expenses. I have also donated more than 40cm of my hair to the OO Foundation for Cancer Care, to help make wigs for cancer patients. In my spare time, I like to listen to music or take a stroll. My parents have an open-minded attitude towards my education and never pressure me about achieving, so I always pushed myself to study harder. I moved out of the house when I was in high school, and have lived on my own ever since. These have all contributed to making me an independent person who can handle any challenge life throws at me. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
It is usually a good idea to start your biography with something that sums up your experience and training in a few short sentences, especially when applying for a technical job like semiconductor engineer. Try to find something that highlights your suitability for the job. Some of the parts describing your experience and qualifications, which you had scattered around the middle of your biography, I moved right to the top, to make it immediately clear what makes you a suitable candidate. You can always go into more detail later in your biography.
It is better not to use abbreviations without explaining what they mean first, as it could be confusing for whoever reads your biography. So, instead of saying “I hold a bachelor’s degree ... from OOOO,” rather write out “National OO University.” If you need to refer to it again several times, you can add the abbreviation in brackets to the first reference: “National OO University (OOOO),” and then use the abbreviation when you refer to it again. However, it makes your biography more understandable if you just write it out every time.
“During the university” should be “At university.”
It should be “I worked at OO-OOO,” not “I worked in OO-OOO.”
When you are writing, “In my first year of college... In my second year of college... In my third year of college...,” you can omit the “of college” from the second reference: “In my first year of college... In my second year... In my third year...
Instead of “my parents never put pressure on me,” you can just say: “my parents never pressure me.”
