Relating in brief bits how you operate and the things you&#8217;ve done for past employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Writing about your accomplishments and the value you offer can feel like bragging to some, so their biographies end up being generic and anemic. They lack vibrancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A robust&nbsp;brand biography&nbsp;evokes emotion and helps to generate chemistry around you and your candidacy, if you\u2019re job hunting. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re using it for other purposes, a branded executive biography will differentiate the value of your expertise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A bio should indicate what you\u2019re capable of doing for an employer or others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your biography can help you land a <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/is-landing-a-board-of-directors-role-like-landing-any-other-executive-job\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Board of Directors<\/a>, Partner or C-suite role. If hired, companies will also use your bio publicly on their website and elsewhere, so it needs to send the right message to clients and investors evaluating the company and you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may not understand the value of a career brand biography over the traditional bio you may be used to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An old-fashioned bio is a boring rehash of your resume that gives little or no feel for what kind of person you are, what attributes and strengths drive you, and how those brand attributes can benefit potential employers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find that my clients sometimes have a hard time completing <a href=\"https:\/\/executivecareerbrand.com\/worksheets-personal-branding-and-executive-job-search\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">my bio worksheet<\/a>, even though they know I&#8217;ll be doing the actual writing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They resist talking about themselves. But also, some are worried about broadcasting what they consider to be highly personal information about themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I reassure them that it&#8217;s okay to let people in on their softer side. In fact, this is the very information hiring authorities are seeking in executive candidates, but don&#8217;t often get. It gives my clients a competitive advantage over those who don&#8217;t use this strategy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Things you can do with a bio that you can\u2019t do as well with a resume<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Rely on the storytelling benefits of brand bios to complement and work in tandem with your resume. Bios can do what resumes don&#8217;t do as successfully:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Showcase your leadership and management acumen through softer skills and \u201cgood fit\u201d attributes, and link them to your value proposition.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Personalize your C-A-Rs (Challenge &#8211; Actions &#8211; Results) stories and use them to reinforce your brand attributes and key strengths.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Generate chemistry around how you use your key personal attributes, passions, strengths, and motivated skills to make things happen for employers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Help employers connect with you and envision you on the job, having a positive impact.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A few questions to help you write your&nbsp;executive biography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are a few prompts to help you write your executive biography.
