Should a personal statement about one's identity, backstory, or passions be something that they could write 8 pages about but shortened down or something that easily fits into a 600-word limit? #pondering
I saw a Tiktok explaining that a solid personal statement should be able to be extended to thousands of words, since it sort of encompasses your life story or at least the special interests, moments, or circumstances that have made you, you! However, my friend told me yesterday that a personal statement story should fit without needing to be squeezed down; if it doesn't naturally/easily fit within the word count, it's not the right story. I am asking for clarity on this. For context, my personal statement is 648 out of 650 words. Thanks to whoever can help me!

Where can I submit my writing for feedback and potential opportunities?
Hi everyone, I live in Kentucky and have a deep passion for writing. I write songs (especially in the country music space), blog, and enjoy storytelling on topics like self-help, sports, and life experiences. I’ve had a unique and interesting life, giving me a distinct perspective in my writing. However, I only have a high school diploma. I attended college but couldn’t finish due to medical reasons, and I don’t have the financial means to go back now. I’m in my 50s and wondering: - Where can I submit a few stories or songs to get constructive feedback? - Are there any opportunities for someone like me to be taken seriously as a writer, even without a degree or formal experience? - What platforms or resources might help me get my work noticed? I’d appreciate any advice on getting my foot in the door as a writer. Thanks in advance! *Note: This is an anonymous question submitted by a member of the CareerVillage community.

For Video Game Designer, what things would I need to do and accomplish to make myself as appealing as possible for hire at a professional company?
I, while having enough dedication and intelligence to go into other fields primarily medical, have always been interested in story telling, character creation and development, and interactive experiences just to name a few. As an avid gamer, reader, and watcher of movies, I really enjoy cohesive visions that involve all the different aspects of communicating a story to the audience. This industry however seems so difficult to get into and I don't know what to do or where to start so that I could break into it. I know that I would be an asset to any creative team having written pieces of fiction ever since I was young in addition to having studying gaming in my free time when I'm not busy with life or playing one. I want to best I can be and to work on a project is my greatest dream. Nothing would make me happier. #Gaming #Designer #videogamedesigner #videogames #creativity #storytelling #art #technology
