Do you have to answer the person spec points in order?

Thanks it's impossible to answer it in order with the examples I've got. I've got stuff that hits all the points but can't do it in order. Will that be an issue?

    Not my specific area of expertise, but I'd lean towards making sure the info is on there as a priority vs putting them in order i.e. do it the "hits all the points, but in a different order" way.

    Otherwise, if there's stuff marked "desirable" rather than "essential" or "assessed in interview" rather than "assessed in personal statement", you could risk missing them off... but I'd avoid it if you can.

    Again, my knowledge may be out of date, so make sure you look at what some of the others are saying!
