I don't know what to do!!!!!!!!!!

So I literally do not have ANY work experience. I was supposed to do some volunteering over the summer but due to COVID, it was cancelled. I don't what to put in my personal statement.

Is anyone else in this situation, and can someone please tell me what I could do?

Hey!

Don't worry, I was in the exact same situation and still got into my firm choice! I know this depends on the degree you want to pursue, but when I wrote my personal statement, I chose to focus more on what drives my interest in the course I was applying to (which was Politics & Philosophy), how I became passionate about this field and why. Also, try to think of the projects you may have been involved in over the past years and see if they are related in any way to what you want to study or whether you learnt anything valuable and relevant from those experiences.

I hope this helps!

What subject are you applying for?

For some subjects, like medicine, volunteering or work experience is really important. For others, it’s much less relevant.

I was thinking on applying for education/teacher related degrees or nursing
