Suggestions for Anna
I edited Anna’s bio to make it flow better and be easier to scan. Breaking it up into shorter paragraphs was an easy fix for the scanning issue.
Notice that I removed the capitalization from “Bank Executive.” Generic job titles should not be capitalized (unless the words are your exact job title). This is an error that I see in many professional biographies.
Speaking of common errors, a mistake that I commonly make is to put my commas and periods outside of the quotation marks. It’s a habit I developed long ago and I find it hard to break. If you catch me doing this on this blog, please leave a comment chastizing me <grin>.
Here’s the low-down from GrammarBook:
Periods and commas always go inside quotation marks, even inside single quotes.
Examples:
The sign changed from “Walk,” to “Don’t Walk,” to “Walk” again within 30 seconds.She said, “Hurry up.”
She said, “He said, ‘Hurry up.'”
Anna may want to add a final paragraph that tells a bit about her personally. Although entirely optional, personal information can humanize a bio and make you more relatable.
I notice on Anna’s website that she shares the fact that she is “a parent and cancer survivor.” This is something she could include at the bottom of her bio, so readers know she understands what it is to face adversity and overcome it.
Suggested wording:
As a parent and cancer survivor, Anna understands what it means to face adversity. She also knows that hard times can be overcome with the right support. It gives her great personal satisfaction to know that she is helping people navigate through hard times to a brighter future.
