To submit a job application, you need to follow the etiquette of establishing the best candidate. It is not about looks or elegance, it is about writing a supporting statement. This statement can be required to make you sell yourself. If you don’t know what it is, how to write, and where to put, you are right. Fratres will show you the basics of writing this statement, including the best examples. Let’s get started.

What is a Supporting Statement?

When applying for a job, you need to build a resume that introduces you to your potential employer. This supporting statement is attached to your resume. Its major purpose is to expand three sections of your document:

• Your qualifications.
• Your experiences
• Your skills.

A supporting statement gives more credibility to your details and grabs your employer’s attention.

How to Get this Supporting Statement:

Lazy people will directly look for a ready-made supporting statement and paste it to their resume. Although many job seekers do this technique, it is not the best way to impress your employer. The best source to craft your supporting statement is your job description. You should tailor your resume by the same keywords used by employers.

Focus on your Skills:

Skills play a fundamental part in every job advertisement. You need to prove that you have not all the skills, but those who are professionally required for the position role. Instead of writing a single word for each skill, you can put a small statement such as:

Instead of organizational skills, you can put:

A well-organized candidate with the ability to handle desktop files.

Tips for writing a Supporting Statement:

-Start by professionally introducing yourself to get a positive impression.

-Try to be brief and concise when it comes to describing yourself.

-Use headings or bullet points for each new section.

-Avoid formatting errors.

A supporting statement takes space from two to three paragraphs in your cover letter. This amount of detail highlights your skills, work experience, and convince your reader that you are fit for the job.  

The First Draft:

Of course a nice building requires a planned scheme to get built, so does your supporting statement. Start drafting your statement by seeking how to reach out to your employers and consider your application.

Follow top Writing Hacks:

Always start positively; express your enthusiasm and excitement for the job. Your opening paragraph is a short advertisement that makes you sound interesting. With over five years of experience, I am a motivated content writer and a creative remote illustrator who is proficient in 2D and 3D designs.

Reveal Professional Facts about You:

If you have completed an internship, training, or any volunteering experience. Try to put this information as a supporting statement. Employers want to hear about your activities and how you have invested your jobless days.

Explain, Why You?

 A supporting statement is also used to justify why you are considered a right candidate for the job. Demonstrate that you meet all the requirements mentioned in a job description. Write a supporting statement that proves all the details mentioned about you.

A Supporting Statement for Teaching Jobs:

Teaching is an essential career to convey knowledge and skills. Education is also a talent, as not everyone can deal with different age groups and share information and rules with them. If you want to pursue a career in teaching in the UK, look at postgraduate teachers' training courses. A supporting statement for a teaching position is specific to the institution you are applying for. It can be a school or high-school or a kindergarten. Don’t forget to present yourself and your teaching history or journey in your support statement. Here is an example:

“I am a Math Teacher, who was attracted to this post as part of my career change, in which I shifted from (ABC School) as a Substitute Teacher in a prep school, in a temporary position of two months medical leave. Now that my teaching role was over ( mention the previous school), I am applying for my educational role as a Math Teacher for the upcoming educational year. I have already taught Math in independent schools, which were mentioned in my CV. I have been concerned with teaching Algebra and Geometry for many levels. Now, I want to extend my teaching experience ( name the school you are applying for).

In 2014, I met the statutory requirements by following the educational system's teaching standards in the UK. I also have my QTS (Qualified Teacher Status), and I have achieved my training directly after my qualification. My internship lasted eight months, in which I professed many roles, such as activities, generating mathematical rules, and practicing them in a series of tasks and homework. Teaching Math involves analytical thinking, solving math problems, helping pupils apply the rules to solve equations, and following the mathematical demarche.

For many reasons, I am interested in this teaching position. Before my application, I researched this school. I found out that there is a lack of investing in human resources for curriculum roles, pastoral roles, and extracurricular activities. I have the news that there were no more volunteers tackling extracurricular tasks due to this school's distant address.

I have always cared for children's mental development. I have always wanted to fight against the terrible idea that Math is a boring subject and used as a punishment. Being close to pupils made me understand the reasons for this hatred. As a teacher in general and math expert in particular, I want to change false views attacking this subject by initiating a Math Club. This club is maintained for extracurricular activities, which will be based on mathematical games and competitions.

After being a substitute teacher, I filled out an application form and submitted it to the school’s administration. I want to invite you to take notice of my CV, including my achievements and decent teaching experience. Please contact me through (put your contact information).

Thank you for your consideration.

  Yours Sincerely,
