Unlike a resume, an executive career  biography is a one-page overview of a executive’s background written in the third person and comprised of a sequence of paragraphs that outline work experience and successes in a general way.

A resume is intended to create enough interest in you to get you an interview appointment. An executive bio, on the other hand, is designed to provide a general understanding of your experience, skills and successes.

When writing your executive career biography, don’t try to create drama by listing your accomplishments or use past tense verbs in a bulleted format. Don’t include your contact information on this page, either, or use bold, underline or italicized type to make your points.

Simply stick to the facts, giving each stop on your career path no more than one paragraph. Keep it clear and simple and you are much more likely to land the job!
