Fill-In-The-Blank Bio Templates to Write Your Personal or Professional Bio

Copyright © 2008 Barbra Sundquist


It's not hard to write a personal or professional bio when you use the fill-in-the-blank bio templates provided in this article. All you have to do is choose one or two sentences from each of the four categories and add your details. The result will be a first-rate personal or professional bio.

To structure your bio, choose one or two sentences from each of the four categories below.

1) who you are 2) what your expertise is (credentials and experience) 3) why the reader should care about your expertise 4) how the reader can contact you

I've organized the bio sentence templates below into the four "who, what, why, and how" categories. Choose one or two sentences from each category, fill in the blanks, and you'll be done!

  • NAME is a _________ (your job title) with ___________ (company name). In this role, NAME looks after/coordinates/manages/leads a team providing (choose one of the foregoing) all aspects of _______, including _____, _____ and ______.

  • A big believer in ______, NAME supports _______.

  • NAME is a qualified __________ (your professional designation, e.g. electrician, property appraiser, esthetician) and holds the _________ degree/certification (choose one) from ______ (name of educational institution).
