Career adviser and applicant reviewing application documents together

Show how you meet the criteria

A strong supporting statement should make it easy for a shortlisting panel to see how your skills and experience match the role. Generic claims are rarely enough. Strong applications use relevant examples and connect them clearly to the essential criteria.

Your job description, person specification, current CV and personal examples are used to prepare a focused statement of up to 1,000 words. The wording stays natural and personal, and one revision is included.

What the service covers

  • Review of the job description and person specification
  • Clear coverage of relevant essential criteria
  • Evidence from your genuine experience
  • Natural language that sounds like you
  • Attention to employer values where relevant to the role

Before you book

Prepare the full advert, job description, person specification, closing date and your latest CV. You should also note any examples or achievements that may not appear on your CV.

Support cannot guarantee shortlisting or an interview.
