What is a personal statement?
Personal statements are becoming increasingly popular in the public sector where usually the employer will require a completed application form and supporting statement rather than the traditional CV and cover letter. They allow the candidate to demonstrate why they are a good ‘fit’ for the role. We have also recently seen a huge increase in graduate employers taking this route of application, but this time using a personal statement to accompany a CV.
Who needs a personal statement?
Personal statements are widely used in the public sector and to apply for university undergraduate and master’s degrees.
We are experienced in preparing personal statements for a variety of industries:
- Healthcare – including nursing and midwifery
- Teachers – including head teachers, teaching assistants and lecturer
- Public sector roles such as local council and government positions
- Social work and housing officers
- PAs and administration
- Research and fundraising roles
Need a UCAS personal statement?
If you are applying to university through UCAS, or for a master’s degree or PhD, your personal statement will be used by the admissions team to determine your suitability for higher education and the subject itself. You will need to demonstrate through your past experience a determination to succeed and a keen interest in the subject to be studied.
At a young age, some of us struggle to see what would be of relevance to university admissions teams. Our expert personal statement writer will work with you to identify the activities that you have taken part in and the personal qualities that you already possess that will be of relevance to the selection panel.
How to write a personal statement
Completing a personal statement successfully takes time and dedication – in fact some people believe that they are used as a method to reduce the number of applications for certain roles. So it is certainly worth investing some effort in your personal statement writing to demonstrate your determination to get the job.
Resume World offers a personal statement writing service where we liaise with you to identify your skills and experience which best match the person specification for the role. Contact us for more information.
Matching 80% of the essential skills
Ensure that you have an employment history, education and key skills that at least match 80% of the essential skills. If you do not meet these skills then it is easy to conclude that you are likely to not succeed in the application and that you will probably waste both your time and the employer’s time applying.
?Read the job specification very carefully
Read the job specification very carefully and then make notes that evidence the skills they are requesting. Make sure that you clearly identify how the particular skill or competency assisted you in your role and ensure that you demonstrate the end results.
Keep it short
Do not write too much. Usually we would recommend that if a job specification has around 12 key points then your statement needs to be in the region of 800 words (one and a half pages of A4).
Identify your motivation and interest
Ensure that the statement has a strong introduction identifying your motivation and interest in the role and has a strong conclusion to really make an impact.
A personal statement is not a cover letter
A personal statement is not a cover letter and visa-versa. A personal statement is much more detailed. We have many clients who contact us to write a cover letter that is actually a personal statement once we see the application form or job specification. Ensure you fully understand what is required.
?Check your grammar and spelling
Check your grammar and spelling, there really is very little excuse these days to have any errors in a document. Just press spell check and note any “green lines” under content.
How much will it cost?
The prices of our professional CV writing service varies dependent on the level of work required to maximise the document.

From Personal Statements to video applications, Andrew has always tremendously delivered with his great knowledge and experience in this field, so much so, that with his help I have been able to achieve my goal, which was to secure a position on a Summer Internship Scheme. Once again, I would really like to thank Andrew for all of his help and I can honestly and truly say that without Andrew's assistance I would not be in the position I am today. I would thoroughly recommend Andrew as his assistance has really paid off for me and will certainly be carrying on with his service in the future.

I am a total skeptic and a difficult customer to please. After failing to even get a response from my CV, I decided to enlist the help of an expert. Having spent a lot of time narrowing down my choice of services, I decided on Resume World. What influenced my decision was that Andrew was the only person out of all the services that I contacted who phoned me back (and promptly) and took the time to answer all of my concerns without putting pressure on me to use Resume World. I feel that his service is thorough, exceptional value for the amount of hard work he did, completely re-writing my CV. Within hours of uploading my new CV my phone rang constantly for days. Within 48 hours I had 3 interviews lined up and I was offered a role. If you are in any doubt I fully recommend Andrew and Resume World.

After leaving HM Forces 7 years ago, I decided to have my CV updated and to reflect both military and commercial sector careers to date. Resume World was able to deliver a CV which exceeded my expectations although the true test will be judged by invitations to interview.

Andrew and his team provide a fantastic service. After submitting my 'home made' CV, the resultant CV from Resume World was amazing. A didn't recognise the person! As always, when writing and selling yourself, you are your own worst enemy and it is well worth the investment on getting your CV done my Resume World. The covering letter was also great. Very professional. Andrew is very easy to talk to and provides exactly what you want. A can't recommend them highly enough.
