Lets face it, you knew what you were going to write for your personal statement. No-one would have come to the chris moyles.net website to seek career's advice given the amount frustrated loosers and under age pregnant mothers that frequent here.

You were just trying to show off wern't you? Oh look at me, i've got more hope than you stevo, uglybob, etc, oh look at me i've got so much to write about myself I don't know how to condense it down into a 10,000 word dissertation.

My heart * bleeds

My heart * bleeds for you, actually making the effort to write that...

Sorry - Why did you do a Media Degree in the end? Where you incapable of doing anything else? Was it worth it i - and do you have a decent job yet? Just that the majority of some Media Grads are recorded as having the longest time before actually getting a job. Note: Hoare for example.

Like to see you personal statement...

[Sidders]

At least he managed to finish a degree.

[Adam]

At least he managed to finish a degree.

Eh?

I'm still doing my degree.

Pillock.

Eh?

When did I say you weren't??

Stevo managed to finish a degree, don't you think that's a good achievement?

Pillock.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

No, its not really an achievement. I have a lot of respect for mr trash and mr hoare for chasing their dream an trying to do what they actually want.

i do think its a little harsh on this personal statement person but on the same token why post it here? in my mind you get what you deserve on this board. what i get it sucked into mindless drivel...

adam, there's no need to get upset because I spurn the private messages you bombard my inbox with. There's no need no need to get upset when you stalk outside the radio 1 building and people affiliated to the chris moyles show run away from you.

Now my degree was actually a joint degree, the lesser amount of my study time was devoted to media studies but the majority was focused on History modules. My degree says 'Ba Honours History/Media Studies, therefore I was capable of doing something more challenging than a plain Media Studies module.

Whilst my job is not ideal, its a job, vaugley related to what i want to do and pays the bills. Theres still lots of time to do something else if i really want to.

Here's some tips for your personal statement Adam, as opposed to writing 500 words about yourself, just scrawl 'i'm a *' in the middle of the box to save the admin dept some time.

If someone actually read my post, it had moments of self deprication and was spot on. If you need help filling your ucas form, see your career dept, teachers etc who with many years experience in helping people construct personal statements, not a message board.

I can assure you writing a history dissertation using only primary sources and scoring a 1:1 is an achievement, for me anyway. Since you didn't know what my course entailed and you didn't know what personal circumstances occured in this time period, your not in a position to conclude whether it was an achievment or not.

[Mr Dion]

degrees are a joke! most people at uni have less than 10hours a week! madness!

[Ahh_Pathetic]

I suppose if you want to get technical it depends on your definition of achievement. I admit I cannot speak on what you experienced but I do not consider passing my degree to be an achievement. I do consider 6000 posts on here to be the ultimate achievement...

[kendra k]

university is work for those people who want to get the most out of it. many of my friends get by with the minium waiting to earn their degrees so they can get on to other things, whilst others are very serious, take loads of classes, and spend 40 hours a week on school stuff. one of my high school history teachers put it best when he said "your education is what you make of it."

on the whole though, i don't trust people who study political science, mass communication, economics, or claime to be "pre-med." i also tend to avoid english and french majors for personal reasons.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

mass communication... is that like RE?

I just think to have achieved something you should have faced a struggle. I didn't find university a struggle and I was lucky enough to get a relevant job quite quickly. I agree I cant comment on peoples personal experiences.

[stevotrash]

moral of the story,

make lots of posts on this board and watch your career sky rocket.

How about this chaps:


The one thing I love to do and thus want to do forever is act, although I have done many things in my life so far. At college I’ve studied varied subjects, English, Psychology, Drama, German, Maths and currently Dance. All of these have contributed to my life on and off the stage, but through all of these subjects has been my love and desire to perform. I strongly believe that doing something related to but not involving one’s normal activity helps one to appreciate it more. It is a very good thing for me therefore to have experienced being a stage hand, assistant lighting technician and stage manager in a small local theatre, Falmouth Arts Centre, as well as having performed there numerous times. Also I have written poetry and had it published in an Italian anthology ‘La Voce De La Luna’, as well as having won prizes for reciting it at the county and one international music festival. I have learned through working with different people many approaches, mainly depending on the type of show I have been in, but I have used method acting, cartoon like characterisations, Stanislavski’s ‘Circles of Concentration’ and others besides. I have worked with several local companies, namely The Bristolians, Carnon Downs Drama Group, Clean Slate, Free Spirit, Young Generation as well as numerous school productions. At college I have had a marvellous opportunity which I have taken up three times to work with professionals as our directors to put on a show in two weeks! Director Dominic Simmons, Musical Director Ruth Alexander and several different choreographers. With these groups I have worked on many different shows with both major and minor roles: The Snow Queen – Robber King, Honk! – Drake/Bullfrog, The Importance of Being Ernest – Algernon Moncrieff, Grease – Roger, Beauty and the Beast (Pantomime) – The Lord Chamberlain, Godspell – Jesus, Under Milk Wood – Rev. Eli Jenkins, West Side Story – Lieutenant Schrank, Guys & Dolls – Nathan Detroit, Smike – Mr. Snawley, Under Milk Wood – Billy, The Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe – Edmund, Hopes & Dreams – Chorus, Our Town – Wally; sometimes rehearsing for and/or performing up to five at once! Obviously with all these different types of show I have learnt many different things in the last five years, over which I have done at least one large amateur (not school) production per year, from basic things like energy to more subtle things like idiosyncrasy. I am currently passing on what I have learned by directing my first show, as well as preparing to perform in another of course! Now though I am hungry to learn more, and at a different level.

[~JACQUI~]

dont use the words marvelous or hungry. marvellous makes you sound pretentious and hungry makes people think you are fat.

[ASG]

My teacher liked those, but I've still gotta do it again!

[kendra k]

don't seem too eager or too desperate, unless you're going into law or business.

[coct]

have you heard of paragraphs?

[Ahh_Pathetic]

Repeat after me: ohhh hello luvvie...

Adam my old friend, I havn't forgotten you. Just because Stevo drank away three years of his life doing a $hite degree, who can say anything different after going to University? It sound's like you have a bit of an inferiority complex, maybe you have been humping your mothers dead corpse too much.

[Gigglyboots]

It wasn't a bad degree, if he wants to go into media all the best to Stevo. Anyway, I thought it was an achievement getting a 1:1, you're all cruel.

That was a bad comment, his mother may actually have died and that would be so cruel.

[coct]

his mother ACTUALLY has died so perhaps the purpose was to be "cruel".

Some people are just too f*kking nice to be alive. You'll have your head hurt one day chile.

[Ahh_Pathetic]

no danger of you being nice eh? theres a time and a place for everything. sadly your time was the 30s an the place was germany.

[kendra k]

nah, i would say ussr in the 40s and 50s.

[Gigglyboots]

I'm not * nice.

[coct]

BULLSHIT, U IZ PROPAH NICE INIT
