How to write a professional bio

Short, clear and in the third person

A bio is read quickly. People want to know who you are, what you do and why they should trust you.

Step 1: Start with your name and role

"Jordan Rivera is an operations manager with ten years of experience leading warehouse teams." One sentence, no hype.

Step 2: Add your strongest facts

Where you have worked, what you are known for, and one or two honest results.

Step 3: Finish with something human

A line about where you live or what you do outside work makes a bio feel real.

Step 4: Keep three versions

About 50 words for social profiles, 100 for a website or program, and 250 for a speaker page or press kit. A first-person version is handy for your own pages.
