Quick Tips for Writing an Executive Biography:
The above documents are sample executive biographies to be used both during and after your job search. The average job seeker can use a biographical sketch to help them complete online profiles such as those on LinkedIn and Facebook. Biographies are helpful to entrepreneurs seeking funding for a business plan. Executives may be asked for a biography instead of or in addition to a resume during the job search. Biographies are also often asked for when you speak at events or participate as a member of boards. Once you have been hired, you may be asked for a biography by the new employer, to be used in their marketing materials. Like resumes, biographies should be written to emphasize your personal brand and really showcase what is unique and special about you. Biographies are also the document in which it is acceptable to briefly mention personal information about hobbies or your family–items that you would not include in your resume.
Client Testimonials
I am extremely pleased and impressed with Michelle Dumas from Distinctive Documents. Michelle and her team merged all of my background documents, old resumes, and completed forms into an outstanding resume. However, she did much more. While absorbing all of my background information, she summarized all of my experience into one word, intrapreneur. That's impressive! Over the years, I have worked with some of the best writers, marketing, sales, and practice executives around the world. Michelle is definitely the best professional writer, I have ever engaged.
