Turn the Grade 7 advert into a criterion-by-criterion evidence plan
A Grade 7 personal statement should make it easy for the sifter to match your evidence to the essential criteria, responsibilities and professional requirements in the vacancy.

There is no universal Grade 7 personal statement. The content must come from the live advert. Use the exact criterion wording as a heading where the form allows, then provide focused evidence at the expected level.

Start with the job advert

Extract the essential criteria, desirable criteria, responsibilities, technical requirements and repeated phrases. The repeated or lead criteria usually deserve your strongest evidence and the greatest share of the word count.

Use a simple evidence flow

  • Criterion heading from the advert.
  • One context sentence linking your role to the criterion.
  • The situation or requirement.
  • Your personal actions and judgement.
  • A practical result that proves the criterion.
Do not write a biography
A personal statement should answer the advert. A career summary that lists roles and broad strengths forces the sifter to search for the evidence.
