Ifyou dont have a firm grasp of the requirements for the role, then you dont know yourself if youresuitable for the job or if the job is suitable for you. Understand the qualities that the employer islooking for both in terms of skills and experience.2. Use the information gleaned from the job description to inform your personal statement. If theemployer is looking for a motivated self-starter, then describe yourself in terms that imply this, forinstance describe yourself as someone who can work autonomously and take a project fromconception to successful delivery. Sum up your own unique selling points and briefly describe whyyou would be an asset to each role.3. Your employment history is always vital it lets the employer know what experience you have thatyou can bring to the role. If only selected roles you have held apply to the job in question, make themost of these.4. Presumably the roles you have applied for are all similar in terms of the skill-set you hold, but theskills section can still be tailored to suit each role. For instance, how convenient is it for an employerto glance at the CV and see the skills they listed in the job description perhaps even in the sameorder?5. You may wish to consider your hobbies and interests, but since these can range from skydiving tothe more prosaic socialising with friends, this may be left to your own discretion. It is worthconsidering however, that your interests can inform employers about your character. If you areapplying for a job with a lot of team work then it is worth detailing any time spent doing team sports.If it is a creative role, then demonstrate your interest in the arts if sales, then perhaps you haveoutside entrepreneurial interests? 7.
