Hello to any readers that stumble across this!
I want to have a quick post on Personal Statements. The feedback I got from all 4 of my University Interviews was that my Personal Statement (PS) was "excellent" so I thought I might talk about what sort of things I added in to it.
"Start off 'punchy' with a story and leave them wanting more" was the advice I was given - and so I did!
The beginning
My opening 4 lines was literally a story about a severe trauma incident I dealt with in the Army. I talked vaguely about the situation and then left it on a cliffhanger before moving right into my profile.
My journey from Military Medic, to Civilian Paramedic and everything in-between. I will reflect as I go through the challenges of University, offer some advice and tips on being successful at getting into University, talk about incidents as case studies and more.
Feel free to contact me via the form at the bottom or click on an option below for Advice, Resources, or my Diary to follow my journey.

Let's talk about using your "previous experience"
Having been successful at Interviews and gained a few offers from University for Paramedic Practice I feel like I can comment on previous experience and how to use it.
When I was preparing for my Uni Interviews all of my friends, relatives and fellow Access students would happily tell me that several years as a Combat Medic in the Army will mean I would breeze my way into Uni... I wish I'd shared their confidence!
