Professional Biography

A professional biography is a summary of who are you as an employee, business person, or professional.

When it comes to a professional biography, there are three different lengths, each for a different use.

  • Long– one page, typically used for the homepage of your professional website
  • Short– no longer than 100 words, generally used as your “default” bio, as well as for programs
  • Micro– two lines, mostly used for others to succinctly present you to an audience

Although not set in stone, professional biographies are typically written in this order:

  • Introduction
  • Education and Credentials
  • Notable Achievements
  • Closing Statement
