Why Write a Professional Biography?
The purpose of a professional biography is to give your future employers or clients a chance to learn a bit more about you as a person. For this assignment, the professional bio is a goal setting exercise designed to help you think about where you would like to be in five years. Use your imagination and choose goals that you feel are attainable and realistic.
Elements of a Professional Biography
Begin by coming up with a statement that will catch the reader's attention. Now, talk about your education. Where did you attend college? What was your major? List any clubs or activities that you participated in while attending college. Also, mention any accomplishments or awards.
