Sample Personal Statement

Just because you have a sense of humor doesn't mean that the Employer will. If you are a good writer and the right person reads your statement, it could help you stand out. But a badly written joke or one which the reader doesn't find funny could really mess up your job application.

Don't start every sentence with I

Though you are talking about yourself, your statement may get very repetitive if you start every sentence with I. It is possible to avoid it, but this many mean you end up writing irrelevant stuff which fills up space just to get your statement to read well.
Don't include your hobbies and interests unless they are relevant
You are trying to apply for a particular Job here; so much of the stuff you enjoy may be irrelevant and will just waste space on the form. However these hobbies and interests show you are a well rounded person, and may also show other skills which you have.

Don't use vocabulary you don't normally use and just looked up in a dictionary.

It's tempting to look up lots of words in thesauruses, and use them in your personal statement to make it sound better.

Don't use famous quotes in your statement

Don't write a list of all your hobbies and interests without explaining them
Lots of hobbies and interests show you are a well rounded person, but without an explanation they don't say a lot more than that. By explaining your hobbies you get to show what skills you have learned from them.

Don't lie or embellish the truth

It's easy to say you've worked with Sage line 50 you haven't or been to conferences which you haven't, but you may find it very difficult to talk about them at an interview if asked.

Don't include boring phrases or hobbies which everyone does
Many hobbies such as "playing sport" or "socialising with friends" are things everyone does, you can save some space by leaving them out. However putting things like this in can easily fill up a bit of empty space or help your statement read more freely.

Don't take any political viewpoints

It may be good to give opinions in your statement, as it may show the way you think. However if your Employer has an apposing view, they may take a dislike to you which could put you at a disadvantage. So strictly no Politics
