Application forms
Application forms generally have a section titled Supporting Statement or ‘Additional Information’ with an instruction saying something like: ‘Please give any additional information in support of your application’. Don’t leave it blank! This section needs careful consideration, as it’s your best opportunity to sell yourself.
​
Before you get to work on your Supporting Statement, check for any instructions, such as word count limit or specific questions you need to answer (such as ‘Explain in 200 words how you think you can add value to our brand’ or ‘Please detail why you have chosen to apply to the financial services industry’). A well-written and thorough statement could take a while, so you may prefer to prepare this in a separate document and remember to save your work regularly.
