Here’s how answering four simple questions can help you create a short-bio in a matter of minutes!
Professional Bio’s are your chance to share all your achievements and notable career accomplishments with your audience in a small paragraph or summary format.
- Bio’s can be as short as one paragraph or as long as a whole page.
- Bio’s are used for social media profiles, signatures for written blogs or articles, websites or scholarship applications.
- Having a professional bio helps you stand out from the competition. It tells the audience what you want them to know about who you are vs. them assuming they know who you are by piecing information together found on the internet.
Here are four simple questions to help you create a short bio for your professional branding needs.
- What do you do now? (Where you work, your title and leadership position)
- Length of time in your field
- Describe your specialties in your field
- Your educational background and certifications
