difference to your job application now
before I get in to the personal
statement tutorial the tips and the
advice welcome to this application form
training tutorial my name is Richard
McMann I've been helping people to pass
their job interviews their application
forms and their career tests for nearly
20 years now I'm a form of fire officer
and in this tutorial I'm gonna give you
personal statement example so I'm gonna
give you a tutorial on how to write one
yourself but then I'm gonna give you one
that there is ready-made now please do

red button below the video and I would
also very much appreciate it if you gave
the video I like that always motivates
me to create more content for you thank
you thank you very much so what is a
personal statement what is a job
application personal statement now this
is important to understand because what
we're doing here is putting ourselves in
the shoes of the person who's going to
be reading the personal statement and in
effect we need to give them what they
are looking for so a personal statement
basically summarizes what you can offer
an organization or employer and how you
see yourself working in the role so
obviously it needs to be powerful it
needs to be positive and more
importantly it needs to match the job
that you are applying for and if you
follow those simple steps you will pass
your job application form and go through
to next stage so essentially it's your
job to convince the person reading the
personal statement that you're the best
person for that particular role so how
do we do that how do we write a personal
statement I'm gonna make it really
simple I'm gonna break it down into
simple to understand steps and then I
will give you an example
of a brilliant personal statement so
what we need to do is to split our
personal statement up into three simple
steps sorry three simple sections the
first section is that we need to write a
short and powerful opening statement
this is the first thing the person mark
in your application will read therefore
it needs to be powerful and make them
want to read the remainder of it and if
you do that they will read the rest of
it and you will get invited along to an
interview the second part is we need to
write a middle section now during this
middle section you're going to showcase
your experience and say why your skills
and experiences are a match for the job
that you are applying for then finally
we finish off with a short and powerful
closing statement and I'll tell you what
to put in each of those right now so the
first part writing a powerful opening
statement make it strong make it
powerful and most importantly make it
positive explain why you have decided to
apply for the job so you can say I am
applying for this job because and I'll
tell you what to say in that particular
element and also use key words and
phrases that resonate with the employer
or hiring manager in a positive manner
so let me give you an example of that
opening statement the first part of the
three stage personal statement I am a
hard-working self-motivated professional
and committed employee who feels most
comfortable in a role where by pressure
is very much part of everyday working
life I've applied for this position
because I feel strongly that I have the
necessary skills qualities and
attributes to not only carry out each of
the duties to a high standard but to
also help your organization move forward
positively and innovatively through hard
work and determination that is very
powerful that'll be the first thing that
they would read on your application form
on that personal statement
so that's powerful we then move on to
the second part of the personal
statement which is showcasing your
experience and this will be the part
that's most in-depth so take the time to
write one there is a match for the
actual job description so provide
details here in this middle section of
any experience relevant to the role
you're applying for
match your skills to the job advert or
the job description for example if part
of the role you're applying for requires
you to demonstrate great customer
service provide experience details
within the middle section of how you
match that particular element of the job
and don't be afraid to be confident of
your abilities show off in this section
remember you are competing against other
people therefore you need to put
yourself ahead of the competition here
is an example of a middle section the
experience
personal statement the professional
experiences I have gained during my
working life to date will be a benefit
to your team whilst I am working in this
role for example having studied the Job
Description I understand there is a
requirement to work as part of a team to
complete difficult and time-sensitive
projects in my previous role I was
regularly required to work alongside
other departmental team members and
company stakeholders to deliver
important projects for clients
throughout each team task or project I
always ensured I carried out my own role
to a high standard whilst also
supporting other members of the team to
help them complete their own tasks in
addition to being a strong team worker I
have excellent interpersonal skills
I am self-motivated I will always
complete tasks on time and I will
continually look to improve and develop
whilst in the rocks that's a great
middle section that showcases your
skills your experience more importantly
that's relevant to the role so then we
finish off we finish off the personal
statement with a short and powerful
closing statement so here you're gonna
tell the reader what you plan to do in
the role if you are successful and then
you build trust between you and the
employer and I'll tell you how to do
that in a second but make it a no
brainer for them to employ you
this is your chance to finish off on a
high here we go I believe that given the
opportunity to work within its role you
will be impressed with my strong work
values ethics and professional standards
and I can assure you I will work
extremely hard to demonstrate my
abilities and to also repay the trust
you would have put into employing me
