Write your CV personal statement
The three or four lines at the top of your CV decide whether a recruiter keeps reading. Fill in a few true facts and get a profile in the structure recruiters expect: who you are, what you're good at, proof, and what you want next.
Full profile
[your current or most recent job title]. [Name two or three skills you can prove.] [Add one real achievement, with a number if you know it.] [Say what role you want next.]
Short version
[your current or most recent job title]. [Name two or three skills you can prove.]
Built only from what you typed. Replace [bracketed prompts] with true details or delete them. Aim for 50–90 words.

Questions
- What's the difference between a personal statement and a profile?
- On a CV they're the same thing: a short summary at the top. (NHS and university applications use "personal statement" for a longer, separate document.)
- How long should it be?
- Three or four sentences, roughly 50–90 words.
- Should I write it in the first person?
- UK CVs usually drop the "I" ("Organised administrator with…"). Either is fine if you're consistent.
