What is a professional biography? Your professional bio is well-rounded introduction to you and all that you encompass. You might share your professional bio on your social media profiles, on your resumé, or on a personal website. It can be brief, like an elevator pitch, or lengthy and detailed showcasing all your proudest accomplishments. Before thinking about the content of your professional bio, think first about its purpose. Where will people find it, and what do you want to share the most with your readers? From there, you can begin to write the perfect story of yourself. Follow our guide below for tips for writing your professional bio, professional bio examples, and how Adobe Spark Page can support you with your professional goals.

Showcase Your Professional Bio

Certain places you might share your bio, such as on a social media profile, will limit the amount you can write. Adobe Spark Page, on the other hand, offers as much (or as little!) room as you need to detail your professional history and goals. With Spark Page, you can even spice things up by uploading photos and videos of your work to your page to support your bio. Share your page simply by sending a link, so you pitch yourself wherever you go! Adobe Spark saves your projects, so you can revisit and revise your professional bio as the breadth of your work grows with time.

How to Write Your Professional Bio

  1. Start with the Details

    Begin your professional bio with a professional introduction. The opening should include your name, your current position, and how you’d like to be addressed. For example, “Samuel Spark is a nature photographer and videographer, and passionate outdoorsman.” You could also tie in your location or hometown, if it feels relevant to your professional persona. Make sure to add a little bit of personal flavor to your opening line so that you can hook your readers into learning more!

  2. Follow Up with Professional Experiences & Accomplishments

    If it didn’t make it in your opener, then use the next section to touch on your professional roles and experiences. Be sure to lead with the title that you most want people to remember you by. Paint a picture of your value in those roles by including any education, training, or professional accomplishments or awards. Demonstrate that you’re the best at what you do, or that you’re at least proud of what you’ve done so far!

  3. Present Your Principles

    Why do you do what you do? Inform your readers of the things that drive you by touching on your values and inspiration. If it’s not immediately obvious, then be sure to tie these values back to your professional nature

  4. Add Spark by Letting Your Personality Shine

    Make sure you write your bio in your own voice, while keeping it professional. Throw in any quintessential mottos or catch phrases you like to use, or maybe a personal anecdote that provides you with daily inspiration. Be sure to let your personality show throughout your bio, that way your readers can get to learn both about what you’ve done, as well as who you are.
