Career Development 2201 How to Write a Short Bio About YourselfName:__________________Use a personal bio to introduce yourself. This project will then be used in your ESP Binder.Write a brief biography to introduce yourself, highlight achievements, list skills and any notable extra curricular areas with which you are involved. Bios should be short and concise, listing only relevant information. Avoid listing personal statistics, such as family and hobbies; instead angle the bio to a professional networking audience.1. Introduce YourselfBegin the bio by introducing yourself, and always write in the third person. For example, write "Jane Doe is High School student currently enrolled in Level II" rather than "I am in high school." State what year your education began, such as "began school in 2003" or "volunteered with the SPCA since 2013," and list any areas of specialized expertise (i.e. involvement in sports teams, music, dance…etc).2. Education and CredentialsList your education after the introduction sentence, including the school you currently attend (and any other schools you have been to in the past two years if other than WVH). Include any other relevant experience, such as additional certifications (honour roll, perfect attendance, etc) earned as well as the names of any professional organizations that count you as a member (I.e. Junior Achievements, Sobeys, Dominion…etc)3. Notable AchievementsState any notable achievements or awards earned. Highlight awards or other recognition achieved throughout your life thus far-(DARE program, drivers license, sports awards, music achievements, volunteer experience….etc4. Closing StatementConclude the bio by briefly stating any current or upcoming projects, such as extracurricular activities you may be planning on joining or have just joined, upcoming activities outside of school..etc. The last sentence should state where you reside, such as "Jane Doe lives in St. John’s, Newfoundland." Adjust the bio as necessary when your education, expertise or achievements change to reflect the most current information.5. PictureAdd a picture of yourself in your bio. The picture will be the first thing someone sees when they pic up your bio. Be sure to use an appropriate/professional picture of yourself, a headshot is preferable but please AVOID SELFIES!Sample Bio:Sabrina YowSabrina was born in St. John’s, NL, and attended Morris Academy Public school throughout her elementary and middle school education.
