True

Explanation:

To understand this type of question, we need to understand the purpose of both resumes and personal statements.

Personal statement or usually known as application letter purposes are to notify the employer/institution where you are applying your interest to the post or course. You should understand that as an employer/institution, they might received thousands of application for the mentioned position so they will have to pick the cream of the cream among the applicants. For you to stand out among the rest of applicants, you should portray your suitability for the position/course and how you are better that the other applicants. Creating your own personal statement requires a great deal of preparation and planning. To easily understand its purpose, imagine you are selling yourself to one customer while having other sellers selling themselves. To get yourself picked, you must be able to make yourself more 'noticeable' than others, and make the employer/institution think 'you are the one'. For personal statement, we have to give the impression through the letter to the employer/institution that 'it is all about you (the employer)'.

Resumes on the other hand is a much detailed documents, where you are tying to convince that you are the one they are looking for. Resume must be as detailed as possible while trying to be as concise as possible. Different that personal statement, employer/institution usually look at resumes after they are taking interest in you. Hence, different than personal statement, in resume 'it is all about us' and how you are suited for the position. The content in resume must reflect all your skills and abilities which suited to the employer/institution. Simply telling all your skills will make you seem simply showing off while what the employer/institution looking for is the ones suited for the position/course they have.
