Below are a few different versions I have drafted. Please, be kind. I am an amateur, clearly at the novice level with all things in the realms of writing, personal branding, social media, strategy, and management. I understand that this blog is currently for personal use, lacks any sort of strategy, schedule or target audience. However, my other blog, Academic Exploration, does have a more set subject, schedule, and audience. I will be using this bio for that blog as well.
Also, I am hoping to work with blogs and other forms of online communication in the future. Therefore, I am looking to dabble in these realms more consistently throughout this semester. I am eager to be continually learning and developing the skills necessary to be effective in online communication.
For those of you who are familiar with personal branding/online communication/social media and/or know me, please do weigh in!
Oh, the Many Questions I Have!
1. Does it sound sort of ridiculous for me to write about myself in the 3rd person (esp. considering that I'm not a professional in any field)?2. How do you choose between writing in 1st or 3rd person?
3. What do you think of what I chose to say? Do you think I chose an appropriate approach?
4. What would you suggest I add or remove to/from the bio?
5. As a professional, what was your first-impression of me?
6. Personally, what was your first-impression of me?
7. Am I even in the ballpark? Is what I wrote anywhere near a bio that expresses me as a person and as a professional?
8. I realize I focused more on the person than the professional, how may I better develop my bio to speak of myself as a professional?
Any other comments, suggestions, or resources you would like to share?
Version 1:
Jesse's the name, adventure's my game.
Simply put, I'm a young renaissance woman venturing through all that is life. A devout learner, I am eager to maintain the connection between the knowledge I acquire and its application to daily living. Steadfast to my passions and to my cultivation as a person, I strive to acknowledge the lesson in each mundane moment. I am especially passionate about people pursing their passions and developing their potential. Driven by my desires to relate with others and be all I can be, I am diligent to do everything to my utmost ability.
In the dawning of my own personal narrative, I spend my time dreaming, developing, and discovering life as it comes.
My current focus is on my studies at Ball State University. I am studying Organizational Communication and minoring in Spanish.
