Personal statement

[cadetjlc]

I don't think it matters, however I think a typed version would look neater and would give a better impression. It's the content that matters ultimately. Best of luck

I'd say print it. Unless your handwriting is amazingly easy to read, or you have amazing spelling and grammar skills - Nothing looks worse than a personal statement full of mistakes!

Personally I would disagree and just put it in print ?

I was talking to a friend at college today about personal statements and he has recently been accepted into the royal navy, that when writing a person statement i should hand write it because it stands out from everyone's.
would anyone agree/disagree to what he said?
please help and im getting a personal statement together and will be sending it off to shipping company's such a Maersk and Bp for September 2015 and want to stand out.
