If you are a small-business owner, or even someone in business, you should have a professional bio at the ready.
Our OrganizingLA Quick Tip for today is to make sure you have a bio ready, or update the one you have. Use MS Word "Tools--> Word Count" functions to aid in your space limitations and s-p-e-l-l e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g correctly!
Just like your car insurance, estate plan, or your holiday card list, your bio needs to be updated and reflect any new education, recent accomplishments or any shameless press promotion. So when the call comes, you're ready. How many of us belong to civic organizations, golf clubs, charities, networking groups or Chambers of Commerce? Chances are you'll need one soon and of course there's nothing like being proactive.
We've updated ours this morning, and while it's brief, we actually were able to post it under two organizations our time is dedicated to: NAPO-Los Angeles and NAPO-National (short for the National Association of Professional Organizers.) Here's what we wrote, all 719 characters and 106 words worth:
