Your personal bio allows you to put relevant information about yourself in your online presence that supports the information you put in your resume. Use your bio to introduce yourself to a prospective employer. Your bio is a good place to highlight important career experiences and elaborate on your special skills, personal achievements and life interests.

Ideas you could include are:

• A brief history highlighting the important points of your professional experience. Focus on the main points of your achievements and accomplishments.
• Your special skill descriptions can be expanded in your bio. Some examples would be computer skills and software abilities or multiple languages that you speak.
• Professional training, societies, honors and/or awards are important distinguishing factors. This is especially true if you have received professional training during a previous work experience that will be necessary for positions you are currently applying for.
• Personal interests give a prospective employer some indication of how well rounded you are as a person. This is especially true if one or more of your interests benefits other people. For example, volunteering or raising funds for charitable organizations is an extremely beneficial interest and is respected by many business professionals.
