If you choose to use AI or other tools to assist in writing your application, it's essential you personalise this information, particularly your supporting statement. While AI can help streamline the writing process, these tools cannot fully grasp the context or requirements of the job you’re applying for, nor can they accurately reflect your skills, knowledge, and experience. It is crucial that you personalise your supporting statement by articulating these in your unique voice to highlight why you’re interested in the role and our organisation to outline what skills, knowledge and experience you can bring.
