After searching far and wide, you\u2019ve found the ideal personal assistant job<\/a> to apply for. You have the traits required of a great PA, and you\u2019ve made sure they\u2019re all listed clearly your CV. But before you hit that apply button, there\u2019s one more area that needs close attention if you want to stand out to the hiring manager: the personal statement.<\/p>\n

Writing an effective personal statement on your CV can have a substantial impact on your job hunt and the success of your application. It will sum up why you\u2019re the perfect fit for the role, and encourage the employer to read on and see the proof. But it\u2019s not always easy to write.<\/p>\n

To help you in this process, we\u2019ve put together a list of tips to give you clarity and confidence when writing the best possible personal statement on your CV.<\/p>\n

What do you write in a CV personal statement?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

On your CV, the personal statement provides a brief overview to the hiring managers of your character, your ambitions, and what you can offer.<\/p>\n

In the case of a personal assistant role, it should of course highlight your relevant skills, experience, and the sectors you\u2019ve specifically worked in. But you should also pay special attention to the personality traits that are so crucial to this role.<\/p>\n

Below, you\u2019ll find some more specific guidelines to make a great first impression with your CV summary.<\/p>\n

Keep it concise<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your CV personal statement should be brief and to-the-point \u2014 ideally three to four lines long. The hiring manager will be interested in learning more about you, but they won\u2019t have time to read a whole biography. Keep it punchy and relevant, and therefore effective.<\/p>\n

Focus on readability<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t get too creative with your vocabulary \u2014 keep it simple!<\/p>\n

In an effort to sound different or knowledgeable by using very sophisticated words, the risk is that your personal statement will be hard to read. The tone should be professional, but when it comes to the choice of words, sometimes less is more.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget to dot the i\u2019s and cross the t\u2019s<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll be surprised at how easy it is to make grammar mistakes when writing a personal statement on a CV. \u00a0When the goal is to keep it concise and simple, you may feel there\u2019s no need for a grammar check, but it\u2019s always best practice to proof-read. It might also be worth using a tool like Grammarly<\/a> for extra help.<\/p>\n

In conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The goal of your personal statement, when applying for a PA role, is to spark the interviewer\u2019s interest in those first few lines. If you can grab their attention early, they will be more likely to read your full CV and offer you an initial interview. Focusing on the above points will go a long towards achieving this.<\/p>\n
