Olivia Spalter Personal Statement

• Comment on something interesting you've found in newspapers, industry-related magazines, by following key industry figures on social media or when meeting business professionals face-to-face.
• Write something revealing about what you’ve learned from work experience or a part-time job where you've made some relevant observations or demonstrated skills or commitment.
• Include examples from enterprise schemes at school or college. This can be just as valuable as real workplace experience, as long as you say something interesting about it. Don’t worry if you weren’t successful: it’s ok to discuss what went wrong as well as what went right, provided you learned from it.
• Give them a balanced, all-round picture of yourself as a potential student: your achievements, evidence of your key strengths and qualities, a project you’ve undertaken or the subjects you’ve found genuinely interesting and how they’ve enhanced your potential as well as your interests outside the academic world

  Describe a situation you've dealt with. What was it you did to handle the situation? What did you learn? Which skills have you developed as a result?
  Think about the skills you've acquired that will be useful to your degree work. If you've developed strong communication skills as a result of interacting with customers, then mention how you would put them to good use when presenting your ideas in seminars or arguing persuasively in essays.
