• What are my other interests
and skills?
These are the main things to start with - if this still
doesn’t help, you can look at a few more detailed starting
points. Many people have trouble writing about themselves
and their personal qualities, so if you’re having trouble
with this step, pop down to a library or bookstore and
get a book out on writing CVs which will go into this
process in much more depth.
Something which helped me was to put these headings
down on a piece of paper, in a rough table, and to carry
that piece of paper around with me. Every time I thought
of something, I was able to write it down before I forgot
about it. Things to consider
• Get your personal statement typed up on a word-processor,
for example Microsoft Word. Then copy and paste it
onto your Job Application Form.
• Have a backup of the file containing your personal
statement in a different place from your original
statement file, for example on a disc.
• Don’t add in extra spaces (e.g. at the beginnings
of paragraphs as indentation), since these are removed.
