Personal-Statement-Worksheet AL Adapted
The personal statement should present your qualifications and reasons for pursuing a particular
opportunity. Your statement should:
• Provide the selection committee with a sense of the real person behind your application
materials.
• Be tailored to the specific program/organization that you are applying to; and
• Contain specific examples that show, rather than tell, why you are a good fit.
Use this worksheet to begin brainstorming what you’ll include in your personal statement.
