Today's Professional Tip

Write and perfect your professional biography. Make changes to your bio as you add to your credentials so that your bio is always ready at a moment's notice. If you have a full page bio, create a shortform version that is no longer than one paragraph so that requestors of that document are not left to determine which information should be deleted in the event that space ...is limited. Do not hesistate to ask whether a long or short bio is preferred.

If you are called to speak at a conference or conduct a workshop or engage in any other way that requires the submission of a bio, DO NOT send a resume or bullet points. It is not the duty of the event organizer to create a bio for you. Do this yourself and you can always ensure a quality representation of who you are and of your most noteworthy accomplishments.
