Example of a Personal Statement

As a Business and Economics Major, I am extremely interested in gaining experience in the field of Finance. The classes I have pursued for my undergraduate degree, such as Financial Accounting and Interpersonal Skills for Business have given me a solid academic foundation in this area. Undertaking an internship will provide me with the opportunity to apply this knowledge in a business setting, as well as develop the communication, organisation and numeracy skills I have acquired through my work experience. Exposure to UK work practice will be an invaluable experience, as I aim to work for a multinational company. In the competitive environment of Finance, I can offer commitment, flexibility and enthusiasm for learning demonstrated through pursuing extra-curricular Accounting classes in my spare time. I have the confidence to work independently, while also enjoying working on group projects. My experiences at Vortex and Lloyd and Webber have particularly strengthened my understanding of team dynamics as well as developing my analytical and time management skills. Required to multi-task, I soon mastered the ability to prioritise tasks through flexible, structured planning to meet various deadlines. I am ambitious, inquisitive and enthusiastic and through my involvement in the Internship program I look forward to exploring many aspects of the field of Finance.
