Before jumping into like a crazy fuck, try to answer the issues below to collect the information you’ll need to customize your professional bio.
Who will read your bio? This depends on when and how it will be used. A bio for a freelance designer’s website should be different than the one used in your employer’s website, even if you've got the same job function in both cases. Your employer won’t appreciate you for soliciting work using their website. Write one bio per target audience.
What does your audience need to know?
For employees or job applicants, recruiters will need to know your professional experience, skills, and academic background. For entrepreneurs, this refers to the products or services you offer, and how they make your customer’s lives easier.
What do you want your audience to know?
This isn’t directly about your skills, products, or services. It’s about the underlying feelings you evoke in the people working with you. For instance, an accountant’s clients will want to work with someone trustworthy. Trainers, meanwhile, are sought after for their patience and creativity in interacting with students.
What’s in it for your readers?
Specify the problem or goal your audience can accomplish with your help?
What’s your story?
Tell a story about how you came to your current work to show readers what sets you apart from other professionals. You can also write about your core values or why you’re in that business.
Gathering all this information before you start writing. But if that doesn’t work, try searching for bios of people in your industry to get some ideas. Take note of the phrases or words you like, so you can use them later in your own bio.
