【エクステンション留学 アプライ方法】推薦書の書き方と例
エクステンション留学をアプライする際、だいたいの大学では推薦書の提出を求められます。
「推薦書って自分で書かないから楽そうじゃない？」
そりゃ大学の教授や会社の上司に１から１０まで書いてもらえるなら簡単です。
ですが、現実はそうは行きません。やはり教授も上司も推薦書を書ける時間はないので、多くの留学生は自分で自分の推薦書を書いて、教授や上司からサインだけもらうという形を取ります。
実際に僕が書いた推薦書が下記のようです。（一部内容は変更してあります。）

まるで他人が書いているかのように、自分で自分のアピールポイントを書くので少し恥ずかしい気持ちにはなります。
ですが、推薦状ではかなりアピールしていくべきです。もちろん嘘は良くありません。教授や上司に内容は確認してもらって「これは盛り過ぎだろう」と言われたら、そこは変えていくべきでしょう。
でーポイントなんですが、僕は能力的な部分と人間的な部分の２つを書きました。能力的な部分はWebマーケティングに関して、人間的な部分に関してはリーダーシップに関してアピールしました。
最後には「きっと自分はこの留学で良い活躍をするだろう」みたいなことを書いて締める良いでしょう。
また字数に関してですが、特に制限がなければいくらでも書いて大丈夫だと思います。まぁWord２ページ分あれば十分でしょう。
ということで、推薦書の書き方についてでした。
