“…For example, many employers require job applicants to submit written statements, which serve as a kind of self-introduction that provides information about the candidate’s background and future aspirations (Fine, 2006; Hamel, 2011). Similarly, many graduate and professional programs require applicants for admission to submit written personal statements that describe their background, interests, and goals (Ferguson, Sanders, O’Hehir, & James, 2000; GlenMaye & Oakes, 2002; Rabow, Wrubel, & Rachel, 2009; Turner & Nicholson, 2011; Walfish & Moreira, 2005).…”

“…Perusse, Goodnough, and Noel (2001) surveyed school counseling programs (N = 189) and found that programs preferred the following methods for screening applicants: (a) GPA, 98.4%), (b) statement of purpose (76.3%), (c) interview (69.4%), (d) entrance exam (64%), (e) group experience (15.1%), and (f) portfolios (5.4%). Additionally, Walfish and Moreira (2005) examined admission criteria within marriage and family counseling programs (N = 25) and found the following factors considered, which are ranked from highest to least in importance: (a) interviews performance, (b) GPA over 3.2, (c) personal statement, (d) clinical experience, (e) letters of recommendation, (f) GRE over 1100, (g) GPA last two years, (h) research experience, and (i) courses taken. Furthermore, Bradey and Post (1991) surveyed counselor education programs (N = 133) and found the following criteria considered by selection committees: (a) standardized tests (100%), (b) GPA (94%), (c) letters of recommendation (81%), (d) interviews (57%), (e) writing samples (47%), (f) other (i.e., autobiography, personal statement, work experience, or experiential exercises) [33%], and (g) work samples (8%).…”

“…The ways one uses words reflect the ways of one's thinking and personal concerns. There is a growing tendency of undergraduate and professional study programmes requiring admission essays irrespective of a candidate's future field of study (Ferguson, Sanders, O'Hehir and James, 2000;GlenMaye and Oakes, 2002;Walfish and Moreira, 2005;Rabow, Wrubel and Rachel, 2009;Turner and Nicholson, 2011). Similarly, in addition to CVs, which are only informative of a prospective employee's education and work background but not of his personality, numerous employers require job applicants to submit short written statements on their background and future aspirations and use them to evaluate candidates (Hamel, 2011).…”
