In many cases, your personal biography will define your first impression online:

You may be Googled by a potential employer or client before an interview.

Or by someone at a networking event who wants to learn more about you.

Or even by a first date who want to scope you before meeting up.

And when someone finds your social media profiles, personal website or company bio page, your bio will be there to greet them.

It can make or break whether someone wants to take the next step and work with you.
