Am finding my personal statement really tricky... have read lots of online advice and it all seems to be geared towards school leavers or those relatively close in age with perhaps a year or two out.
I'm wondering how relevant positions of responsibility I held in school are now 10 years on. Its a while ago! Also having trouble trying to condense 10 years important 'stuff' what to leave in, what to discard? LOL from what I read on here its hard enough to do with only a few years to draw on. So much to say... my initial draft was about twice as long as it should have been, um and reading the advice here I seem to have made many glaringly obvious no-nos too...
Any mature applicants able to offer advice- well anyone, really, I'm floundering a bit...
