Detailed ‘Work Bio’
Work Bio — Minimum 500 characters (2-3 paragraphs preferred)
Writing a complelling and detailed work bio improves the probability of getting hired. It improves not only the AI but also the human reviewer of your profile. It gives both of them good reasons to consider you for work.
If you find it difficult to write a ‘Work Bio’, we’ve found that using one of the many AI writing tools (eg/ Grok, ChatGPT, or Perplexity) can be helpful. Simply start with some of your work experiences then ask it to generate 3 compelling paragraphs about your work experiences. You’ll likely need to re-read and edit a few times but it makes it much easier and better.
