Your Bio - Why it's Important! - ITB Partners - Management Consultants
I recommend that you have a complete and current bio. It is a useful networking tool. As you know, networking is the key to building your career. Whether you are in job search, trying to gain more customers, or building your brand, networking is how it’s done. I recommend having a bio because it is more likely to be read than a resume. Whereas resumes are scanned, at best, bios are read because they tell a story, especially if your story is interesting. Throughout history and across cultures, storytelling has been a treasured, universal concept. People like stories. We all like to read stories. A bio is perfectly suited to tell your story. It's hard to argue with the concept. That is why I am an enthusiastic supporter. I often speak to the importance of telling your story, whether networking or in job search.
