ReplyDeleteI'd add another important supporting piece for any social media effort: an engaging, well-written professional bio. We should be ready for curious folks who want to learn more about our background and expertise.
A few benefits of taking the time to prepare a professional bio:
• stand out from your competition,
• align more closely with your target employer, and
• get the job!
To get you started, I'd offer building blocks of a successful bio:
1. Hook Your Reader in the first sentence with your primary promise.
2. Build infectious interest with your remarkable results
3. Stake Your Claim by declaring your expertise
4. Profess Your Passion and imply why you 'deliver the goods'
5. Close with a Clear, Compelling Call to Action. (Easily overlooked, but crucial to the success of your bio.)
