Further Advice
Examples do not all need to be provided from your current or most recent employment. Examples from other areas of your life may be used if you consider they better address an area of the Personal Profile.
Each area of the Self Assessment is typically limited to 500 words therefore you need to be concise while addressing all areas. Bullet points are acceptable to use.
Focus on your personal role and make sure the Selection Committee are made aware of your actions.
