You may see that the competency elements are divided into 3 categories –

1. Knowledge and Skill Base – In this section you can represent your knowledge and abilities that you possess about your engineering field and thereby provide evidence point from your career episode. You should try to cover at least two indicators form this section.
2. Engineering Application Ability – In this section you have to represent your engineering capabilities and how you have actually applied your knowledge in the engineering field. You should try to cover at least three indicators form this section.
3. Professional and Personal Attributes – In this section you not only demonstrate your engineering abilities but your personal traits such as work ethics and communication abilities.

So now that you have understood the format of summary statement and gone through some summary statement examples, we are sure that you feel confident to prepare one on your own.  Here are some tips to make Summary Statement up to the mark –

1. Summary Statement completely depends upon your Career Episodes. Therefore, make sure that you have prepared the Career Episodes in the right way. Before starting with the summary statement try to go once again through your career episodes and see if they are in relevance to the Migration Skill Assessment requirements by Engineers Australia.
2. Another important thing about career episodes is that you must mention them in paragraph form and name the paragraphs, for instance, CE 1, CE 1.1, CE 2, CE 2.1 and so on. In this way, it would become easier for you to indicate the cross-reference as well as it would be easier for the assessor to match the indicators with your career episodes.
3. Analyze your career episodes keenly as many times it happens that the applicants are not able to understand the relevance of an indicator and they match it with an incorrect paragraph in their career episode. This, on the whole, makes your summary statement incorrect and hence can lead to rejection. Therefore, pay attention to every little detail of your career episode and understand the competency indicators well.
4. It is not a compulsion to keep your summary statement to one-page length. Make sure you provide a summary that reference to all your career episodes. You do not have to mention a lot of details but make sure you do provide a good explanation against each competency indicator you choose.

Last, but not the least, consider some summary statement samples for Engineers Australia before writing your own summary statement to get an overview of how to conduct the analysis and match the competency elements.
