This is part two of a seven-part series on bio writing for every level professional.
One of the most challenging types of bios to write, is the bio for the career you haven’t started yet. This is why, when folks ask, “Should I write the bio for my old career or my new career?” I always suggest writing a bio for the old career.
First of all, you have more to say about your old career.
Secondly, working with your old material will make you a better bio writer in general, so you will be more likely to do a good job on all your future bios, once you have worked on a current bio where there is actually a lot of bio material to condense.
So, if you have a choice, practice bio writing about your old career, not your brand-spanking new one.
If for no other reason, so you can learn to become a better bio writer, and then you’ll be better prepared to write your next bio.
Happy bio writing!
