Professional Biography (Bio)

A Bio is written in essay style and details the most fundamental moments, contributions, and style of your career. Generally one page (3-6 paragraphs), it focuses on your most current achievements and works backwards in reverse chronological order. A Bio is utilized for speaking engagements, company Websites, and portfolios used for marketing, job searches, and similar promotional activities.

Strategic Follow-up Letters

A strategic follow-up letter is sent following an interview. More than an ordinary thank-you letter, a strategic follow-up letter strengthens the interviewer's perception of you while addressing any potential concerns that may have been raised during the interview. It also provides an opportunity to add related skills, abilities, and interests, or any other information you did not think of in the interview — which may have a bearing on your candidacy.

Since there will typically be several top candidates competing for the position, each with various tradeoffs regarding strengths and liabilities, a strategic follow-up letter helps nudge that often difficult decision in your favor.

Additional Resume and Cover Letter Targets

When pursuing jobs that are significantly different (in industry or responsibilities), it is best to modify your resume and cover letter to reflect the skill set sought in each type of position.

This can be especially true when the skills are non-complementary, or when one option is a hands-on position and the other is a management position. Emphasizing skills other than those sought by an employer may raise questions about your interest level in a particular position.

Rewriting your resume for appropriate emphasis on different skill sets will sell your abilities relative to the type of position you are pursuing.
