I'm writing my CV again and have been thinking about putting my personal statement in bullet point format will this put the employer off?
Beep boop. I'm a bot.

Good luck with your CV. As a grammar pedant I'd say they were pretty OK - an unnecessary capital and some missing hyphens but nothing I'd say would affect your suitability to be employed.
What I would say is that I'd personalise the statements a bit more. These ones are good, but they could be written about anyone. What is it about you that demonstrates what you claim?
I'd tie a few of them into things that you relate to in the rest of your CV.
Good luck...

That's exactly what I was going to say. Give an example of how you have worked well in a team and solved problems. It will make your application stand out more.
