PERSONAL STATEMENT
Here you should take a few lines, not a few paragraphs (save that for the cover letter) to quickly outline your interest in the role and why you’d be a good fit. Do not list out your skills here as they will be more relevant to employers searching for your CV within a job role listed under “WORK EXPERIENCE”.
The aim is to highlight your professional attributes and goals, summarising why someone should consider your application.
EDUCATION
If you are looking for your first job and do not have much or any work experience at this point – do not fret. Expand on your education responsibilities and apply them to real life scenarios so an employer has an understanding of what you have achieved and the means used to get these achievements.
- BA Subject Name - September 2008 - June 2012.
- University of Example-town
You can help sell yourself with a few bullet points on what were some of your goals and achievements during your time at university
If any skills were learnt that relate to the job you’re applying for, it would be a good idea to mention those to further align yourself with their criteria

- Responsibilities

Always tailor your CV for each job application to match the requirements
