SECRETS TO SUCCESS

Your first aim is to make sure that your personal statement gets read; start with a powerful selling point that catches the admission officer’s eye. Admission officers usually give each personal statement a quick scan before picking the best for a more thorough reading.

Your personal statement must therefore clearly show the most perfunctory reader what you have to offer.

This means that your words need to be short and punchy. See http://www.getintouni.com for examples.

MAKING A POWERFUL FIRST IMPRESSION

The first and main section of your personal statement will almost certainly be a career and achievements, as this is the crucial area that shows that you can do the course on offer. Within each paragraph of your personal statement, put details of your most impressive or relevant achievements at the top of each section.

Always end your personal statement on a high note so that you leave the reader with a final positive image of you as they put the personal statement down. Make sure you describe yourself in a way that does you justice:

• Give evidence supporting your claims
  

• Quantify your achievements
  

• Show that you are a high performer in the most important aspects related to your course
  

• Use clear and positive language
  

AVOID AMBIGUITY

Phases such as ‘I supported the change process’ or ‘I assisted with financial planning for the company’ leave the admission officer none the wiser as to what you were actually doing. Make it clear what your contribution was. For example:

‘..The position involved analysing past financial performance to identify areas for future improvement and preparing budgets to ensure sound financial planning’

MAKING A PROFESSIONAL IMPRESSION

Your personal statement should have a highly professional image.

• Be clear and easy to read
  

• Draw attention to the most important points

Most financial plans fail:

Because the people don't stick to them. It's as simple as that. In our microwave environment we aren't often committed to a common goal long enough to see how the plans we make will come to fruition.

We recommend that you establish a communication process guaranteed to uncover what's important. That is the first step in setting priorities and getting buy-in from everyone.

As consultants, business coaches, and Certified conflict prevention and resolution professionals - with combined experience of over 100 years helping executives and business owners plan for their future - the one element, required before anything can move forward, is a spirit of cooperation.

That spirit is either a natural result of an atmosphere of shared goals about the future, or it one they have refined or learned from scratch.

Strategic Conversations is a process you can learn that will provide enhanced communications for life. Their free resources and accompanying free research report will help you establish the framework for determining, among other things, the right financial planning strategy for you right now!
