Also have someone who wrote one of your reference letters for the program look at your personal statement. Do you know anyone with an MSW or a student in the program? They will be most tuned in to what a good personal statement looks like. Every school is a little different. Make sure you clearly state how you expect to benefit from the program and highlight your past experience and where you hope to head- pick a direction even if you’re not really sure yet. They like to see you’ve thought a lot about it and know you’re career minded.
I agree with the first answerer. In addition, go to the Career/Job center for your school. They will assist you with resumes and cover letters and those sorts of materials, and they will have examples and references to help you figure out what you want do say and how to organize it.
You’ll need references from at least one of your professors when you apply for grad school. Ask the professor for advice also. He or she will probably want to see your resume at the time a reference letter is being written, so politely asking for help with it is reasonable.
There’s no reason you can’t do this yourself using the above resources. It is definitely cost effective — it is free except for putting in some effort. If a professor really goes above and beyond in helping you, a simple written thank you is always appreciated (handwritten is even more meaningful than email.)
Good luck!
You’d do better to have your friends edit it and make suggestions for how better to “sell” you, unless none of them are adept at language. They know you better and they care about your success more. Plus, they won’t charge you.
