5 Tips for Writing a Short, Professional Bio | |||
| 1. | Start off with a bang. The first sentence of your bio should be strong and attention-getting, and give a clear description of what you do and the field you're in. | |||
| 2. | Less is more. Don't give your entire work history. Instead, touch upon your main accomplishments. | |||
| 3. | He said, she said. It is standard practice to write professional bios, even your own, in third person, unless the bio appears on your website and you're going for a more casual, folksy flavor. | |||
| 4. | All work and no play... Include some personal information, so that there is a sense of who you are beyond the boardroom. But keep this section short. | |||
| 5. | Include contact information. Excluding it is kind of like trying to sell a house without an address. | |||
