Supplementary information
Candidates seeking election to an office within the Division of Occupational Psychology – Scotland
are invited to submit a personal statement for circulation to members of the Society with ballot
papers. Candidate’s biographical details, as listed on the nomination form, will be published along
with this personal statement, which must not be more than 300 words.
Candidates are asked to provide a personal statement, rather than a specific manifesto.
Candidates preparing a statement might like to include information about their past and present
services to the Society as well as the following:
Qualifications
Whilst qualifications in psychology are obviously relevant, many will have other qualifications at
various levels which could make them more attractive candidates. CPD should not be omitted from
this section, which should also include the person’s status within the Society.
Experience
Both occupational and Society experience is relevant. Work roles may prepare candidates to
undertake responsibilities on behalf of the Society. This section also allows candidates to refer to
major achievements.
Interests
The intention is to try to get a picture of the candidates underlying motivations and objectives
without asking for a manifesto. In a way, it could be an answer to the “Why do you want to stand?”
question.
Effective commitment
This helps ascertain the nominees availability to fulfill the required role within the Society.
Candidates may choose not to make a statement
Statement: (additional sheets may be used if necessary):
Completed personal statements should be signed and dated by nominees and returned to the
Leicester office of the Society along with the completed nomination form. Upon receipt, it will be
assumed the nominees have declared their intention to be candidates in a forthcoming election
and that this information is not confidential. It may be disclosed to any members on request (e.g.
other members asking if there will be any other candidates in the election) or even published.
