Finally…
Applications have opened! You know — applications for that role that will propel you forward in your career and enable you to get that all-important training and experience you’ve been looking for…
And this time you are READY to apply! All that’s standing between you and an interview is a Personal Statement.
Feeling confident about a personal statement can be tricky. There’s an array of ideas, competencies, and writing styles to consider, making it VERY difficult to know if you’ve hit the mark — and even harder to feel like you stand out from the crowd!
That’s where we come in.
