Frequently asked questions
What is a CV personal statement?
The three or so sentences at the top of a UK CV saying who you are professionally and what you're strongest at. Most recruiters read it before anything else — many read only it.
How long should a personal statement be?
Three to four sentences, 50–100 words. Longer reads as a cover letter; shorter reads as an afterthought.
First person or third person?
First person, without overusing “I”. Third person (“A motivated professional who…”) reads as dated and slightly odd — you wrote it about yourself.
Can I use this on LinkedIn too?
Yes — it works as a LinkedIn About opener. LinkedIn gives you more room to add a line about what you're looking for next.
Is my CV stored?
No — processed in memory only.
