Buzzwords or buzz phrases, such as I'm a
good team player, I enjoy a challenge, I
work well under pressure, I'm good on
Excel, don't really work. Everyone uses
them and they don't differentiate you. So,
what we're going to look at today is how
to really make your personal statement
stand out.
Hi everyone, welcome to Career Hacks, we'll
be looking into our top tips and career
advice to help you in your job search.
My name is Jordan from Michael Page
technology. We're looking into the
personal statement. This is very critical
to get right. It's the first thing that
any employer or recruiting agency will
look at so it's critical you deliver the
first message to them about who you are
as a professional. The first couple of
sentences give them just a really great
overview of your personal experience.
I've worked in this industry for X
amount of years,
I specialise within these industries, I
have an inclination towards this type of
job role. Then underneath that, I'd give
hard facts about how long you've had in an
industry, how many promotions you've had,
how many projects you've delivered, how
many accounts you've consolidated.
Whatever it is specifically to you, you
need to get that in there. If you're new
to your career, I know this can be quite
difficult to really put down. But think
about the job you're applying to, think
about the company that you're applying
to. Put something in specifically that
you've done whether that be inside of
work or outside that relates to them,
that relates to that job. For example if
you're applying to a sports agency then
you need to put I'm an avid sports
player. Whatever it may be, put it in that's
specifically tailored to you and that
business. That's a really short tip but I
hope it helps. Good luck in your job
search and take care.
