WHAT IS A PERSONAL STATEMENT AND HOW IS IT USED DURING AN APPLICATION PROCESS?
A personal statement is used as part of an initial screening process for either a job application or whenever a student is applying for a specific course with a college or university.
The assessor will thoroughly read your personal statement and use it to decide whether to invite you along for an interview or to the next stage of the application process.
When someone is assessing a personal statement, they are predominantly looking for 3 things:
#1. They want to see that you have the RIGHT SKILLS to do the job properly, or the ATTRIBUTES to complete the college or university course you have applied for.
#2. They want to see that you are GENUINELY PASSIONATE AND ENTHUSIASTIC about the job or the course. If you are passionate, and you have the desire to succeed, you are more likely to be a high-achiever.
#3. They want to see whether or not you are already an ACHIEVER and someone who has a track record of success in your life.
5 ESSENTIAL TIPS FOR WRITING A POWERFUL AND IMPACTFUL PERSONAL STATEMENT!
Personal Statement Tip #1 BE SUCCINT AND TO THE POINT
If your personal statement is too wordy, or if you waffle without providing substance and evidence, your personal statement will quickly get rejected. Whilst there will normally be a word count you must stick to, you have to GRAB THE ATTENTION of the assessor.
Personal Statement Tip #2: AVOID MISTAKES AT ALL COSTS
One of the key areas your personal statement will be assessed against is spelling, grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure. If your personal statement contains errors, it could be an indication that you lack the attention to detail skills required to do the job properly, or complete the course that you want to enroll on.
Personal Statement Tip #3: SELL YOURSELF
A personal statement is your opportunity to sell yourself. This is one area most people let themselves down in. You are fantastic, you might not think it, but you are! It is your job when writing a personal statement to sell yourself to the assessor and I will help you do that as we progress through this tutorial.
Personal Statement Tip #4: USE A SIMPLE, 3-STEP STRUCTURE WHEN WRITING YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT
STEP 1: Open your personal statement with a powerful paragraph that explains WHY YOU HAVE APPLIED for the job or the course.
STEP 2: Provide details of the SKILLS, QUALITIES, ATTRIBUTES, and EXPERIENCE you have that are relevant to the job or the course you are applying for.
STEP 3: Finish off with a closing statement that explains WHY YOU ARE THE BEST PERSON for the job or the course, and how you will be of BENEFIT to their company, college, or university.
Personal Statement Tip #5: MAKE YOUR PERSONAL STATEMENT RELEVANT!
This tip is extremely important! You must tailor your personal statement to the job or course you are applying for. Don’t make the mistake of submitting a generic personal statement. Use keywords and phrases that demonstrate you have taken your time to put forward a personal statement that is unique, and relevant to the job or course you have applied for.
