Personal statements should be personal. [They're not generic statements, they're about _you_](/guides/employability/cvs/common-mistakes/#generic-personal-statements).
17+
18+
We're going to play a game to test this.

21+

### Set-up (5 minutes)
23+
24+
All trainees should send a copy of their CV personal statement to one volunteer. That volunteer should make a slideshow where each slide shows one personal statement, without a name. It should just show the personal statement, not the whole CV.
25+
26+
### Playing the game (15 minutes)
27+
28+
Go through as a class one slide at a time. The class should vote on who each statement belongs to. Don't reveal who was correct until the end of the game.
29+
30+
### Discussion (10 minutes)
31+
32+
Ideally when you read someone's personal statement, it should be personal enough that you know whose it is.
33+
34+
How often was this the case for your class?
35+
36+
What made the personal statements personal? What was generic and hard to identify?
37+
38+
How can you make your personal statement more personal?
