Mrs Depp Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi everyone, How much information would you say would be enough to prove your commitment to the state? I don't want to bore the pants off them by sending pages and pages of our research but obviously at the same time I don't want to send too little. Can anyone suggest a reasonable amount of info that would be sufficient ie: 3000 words, 3 pages, a whole trees worth etc. Any help/guidance will be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance Clare x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest china Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Clare we wrote about 300 words on that bit, and we got SS for SA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toolbox Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Clare, when I applied for state sponsorship they made it clear that my commitment form must not contain more than 1500 characters. Its sounds a lot but I actually found it quite hard to put down all I wanted to say in less. I bullit pointed a lot of what I had learned in my research, this helped me to get more infomation across without sounding boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emma&vas Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi all, I have just about finished (not sent) my application for SA SMP. In the commitment part i wrote about 5 points: Job oppotunities, Lifestyle, Areas, Living exp and how family friendly SA is. Does this sound alright to everybody?

Toolbox Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Thanks Toolbox Thats put my mind at ease! Do you know anybody that lives in south australia? We know people in other states but not SA Emma I know one family there, not very well, more freinds of my sisters really. Bit daunting not knowing anyone but don't worry we'll all make new freinds. We'll meet you when were all there:hug: Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest china Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Hi Emma, That's exactly what I wrote, I don't know if you have kids or are planning on it but I wrote that SA has excellent education system which was a big draw as we plan on having children in the future -I think that sounds good as it shows you are planning your life in SA. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Depp Posted January 13, 2011 Author Share Posted January 13, 2011 Thanks for all the advice you guys :hug: It came in very handy as i've just completed my commitment statement and it looks a lot clearer than it did yesterday, it's easier to read and highlights all the important things that I wanted to say without any of the waffle. In saying that, this is only my thoughts on it and once it's uploaded we'll soon know if it's what they are looking for! :eek: Cheers again Clare x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
