A personal statement, which is sometimes referred to as a career summary or personal summary, is a succinct paragraph that introduces your qualifications and career objectives at the top of your resume.
It’s an opportunity for you to highlight your abilities and expertise while also outlining how you fit with the goals and objectives of the organization to which you’re applying to.

Here are some guidelines for writing a personal statement for job application purposes:
Keep it brief: Just a few phrases should be enough to complete a personal statement. Instead of a comprehensive list, it should be a synopsis of your most pertinent qualifications and encounters.
Be precise: Focus on specific successes that show off your strengths rather than broad traits or skills. The impact of “strong sales abilities” is greater than “raised sales by 20% over six months.”
Tailor it to the job: Make sure to personalize your personal statement to the particular position you’re applying for. To find out what the organization and the job description are searching for, do some research on them. Then, emphasize your experiences and talents that meet their requirements.
Employ action verbs: When describing your experiences and accomplishments, use verbs that are powerful and dynamic. For instance, it is more effective to say “managed a team of 10 employees” rather than “was responsible for managing a team.”
Proofread: Verify your personal statement for errors by proofreading. A good personal statement can stand out, while a weak one can work against you in the job application process.
An illustration of a personal statement for a position in customer service is given below:
“Professional with experience in customer service who has a track record of resolving difficult problems and raising client satisfaction. Strong communication abilities and the capacity to function well in a group setting searching for a customer service position at a business that prioritizes top-notch customer service and has a nice work environment.”
