Do you need a professional bio - Sterling Career Concepts

Do you need a professional bio Do you need a professional bio? Have you ever asked yourself â€" “Do I   need a professional bio?” Think about what you do in your professional life….. Google Images Do you accept speaking engagements at industry events or conferences? Are you a member of Board of Directors or involved in community organizations? Are you involved with sales presentations? Do you contribute to industry publications or websites? Do you field press inquiries or accept interviews? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, you could benefit from having a professional bio at the ready. A bio is related but different from a resume. It has a warmer, more story-like tone and is used in different situations. A resume is typically for job searching. A professional bio can be used for speaking engagements, sales presentations, and online professional networking sites, to name a few. It can also be used in more discrete senior-level networking introductions for potential job opportunities. Senior level job seekers might also want to leave their bio behind along with additional marketing materials to complement their resume. What type of bio do I need? There are typically two lengths â€" a full-page bio is the starting point. That document can then be boiled down to a one-paragraph version that is useful for online social media, to introduce you to a group or to include in presentation materials. A 1-2 sentence version of the paragraph would be ideal as a byline for articles or other submissions. Need help from an expert? Call or email today for a free consultation.
