The phrase “quick paced” has been used to describe our environment for many decades, yet it has never been more appropriate than it is now. Because we now travel at a faster pace, mature at a quicker rate, and exchange information at a more rapid rate, this has an effect on the way we exchange information about ourselves.

The process of acquiring customers for virtual assistants may be compared in some ways to the process of online dating. When prospective customers look at your profile, they are, to some extent, swiping left or right since they have very little or no time to dive deeply into what it is that makes you “you.” Therefore, it is quite important to create a positive initial impression.

A bio that is easy to understand, brief, and compelling to read is likely to be the first thing a prospective customer looks at, and it is a vital component in the process of developing your identity as an internet company owner. In this essay, we will discuss how to avoid being passed over for a position on a team by getting yourself known and acknowledged as the one — and ONLY — person who is eligible to join that team. In this lesson, you will learn how to establish a strong first impression and how to communicate vital information to your audience in a way that is both clear and compelling.

What draws attention to your bio?

Remember to keep your readers in mind as you write your bio. In this scenario, you are most likely conversing with busy individuals whose brains may be running at full capacity, and maybe even beyond that. There’s a chance you’re talking to a goldfish.

Goldfish, you ask for it! The anxious goldfish has an attention span that is, on average, nine seconds. Humans? A mere eight seconds. The average amount of time it takes to complete a task is eight seconds, and this time is becoming shorter year by year, illustrating the impact that living an increasingly digital lifestyle has on the brain.

You must grab the most important elements you need your Goldfish to read; the ringers, the punchlines, the words that will stick like algae. This is not the place to talk at length about how your kindergarten teacher influenced you, or how sports/arts/faith/family have brought you to where you are. This is where you focus on keywords that impress and stand out. 

I’ve had a wide range of jobs in a number of fields, and I’ve gained a great deal of experience as a result. I’ve been quite adept in using platforms from Microsoft and Google, and I’ve also had opportunity to master other client administration and control systems. I am an excellent communicator across all mediums, and I get a kick out of meeting new people and picking up interesting new skills.

Vs: 

“Experience gained across a variety of business sectors has resulted in the development of a valuable skill set and has shown a capacity to thrive in dynamic environments. My customers benefit from the fact that I am proficient in all office administration platforms, client and project management control systems, and accounting software.

Both of them are around the same length and say essentially the same thing; but, which one did you skim first, and which one caught your attention? You most likely found the second argument to be more convincing. It is possible that it will take numerous modifications before all of the information that you want to share with the world can be condensed into something that will really be read.

Some key factors to consider

• Put your attention on WIIFT, which stands for “what’s in it for them.” Do not just enumerate your experiences and capabilities; rather, explain how these assets will be put to use to benefit your customers. For instance, if you have experience in a number of various fields, you may discuss the ways in which those experiences have conditioned you to thrive in almost any kind of workplace setting.
• If you want your profile to stand out from the crowd, you should make an effort to include a distinctive viewpoint that shows your experience or expertise. For instance, if you come from a background in the energy business, you might write something about how “fueling team productivity” may help teams be more productive.
• Make good use of a thesaurus, particularly if you discover that you are continually recycling the same terms. Variety is the spice of life, as well as the substance of any written piece, including biographies.
• Read your bio out loud and think about the aspects of who you are that may compel someone to want you on their team if they heard you read it.
• Avoid using terms that are overused. Everyone and their mother says something along these lines:

1. Works well under pressure
2. Works well with a team or independently
3. Enjoys a challenge
4. Excellent communication skills

Don’t be that person. Find a more unique turn of phrase.

Last but not least, be sure to double check your spelling and punctuation! There is nothing more unprofessional than a document that is riddled with mistakes.
