Welcome Note
I am researching the use of personal statements. Though you feel you may just be average how you present yourself in writing may just get you the course or job you want. You need the X factor. Those of you applying for jobs or places in selected Universities may find this useful.All feedback will be read and reviewed.Thanks
Hi Ursula
ReplyDeletethis blog has very good guidelines for preparing a personal statement. In a PS I try to explain what is motivating me to apply for the course, and show that I understand what's involved in the course and the commitment required. I try to demonstrate that I am right for the course, the course is right for me, and that it fits an overall plan that I have thought through.
It would be great if the English teacher in the school would also be familiar with the requirements of the personal statement. A lesson on how to write one correctly would be an advantage to students. That would be real cross curricular learning
