Create your own… 1. List what you want to study and why — remember to link in your skills, interests, hobbies and relevant work experience. 2. List your current skills and interests. Think of examples you could use to illustrate these. For example, I play football and this has helped me develop my teamwork skills because to score goals, we have to work effectively as a team. 3. Write down why the subject area you want to study interests you — link in any relevant work experience. 4. Think of what you could put to show you understand what is required of you to study your chosen subject — to answer this, you will need to have done some research into your chosen courses. 5. List the reasons why you want to go to college. 6. List your personal qualities and attributes — these are different to skills. For example, honest, hardworking and so on.

Put yourself in the role of an employer… Swap statements with the person sitting next to you… Read through the statements that you have received. What are your first impressions? Would you employ this person? Give reasons for your answers.
