Three Top tips for a winning personal statement
Have a strong opener
Outline any relevant work experience and how the skills you have gained could help you to be successful in this position.
Show how you can add value
What you could add to the company and how, using examples wherever possible.
Make it readable
Use 1.5 line spacing so it’s easier for the hiring manager to read and always make sure you read the finished statement out loud and then get someone to proof read it for you for spelling and grammar, as well as overall content.
This is your chance to really highlight who you are and why you are perfect for the role, so try and be as engaging as possible. Obviously, not everyone is a good writer, but if you can back up your case with evidence and examples of when you’ve done what you say you can do, you should be in with a good chance of securing an interview.
