In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Using the third person is best in most cases, but it’s wise to have both first and third person options available. If you’re writing a professional bio for a specific purpose, double check your guidelines for a preferred format.  If you’re writing a professional bio for an online job profile, such as LinkedIn, the first person is best. Using “I” allows you to tell your story more naturally. Additionally, writing in the third person on social media profiles can feel a little insincere. In general, listings on company directories and professional bios for academic conferences should be in the third person. If you’re presenting at a conference or seminar, for instance, the person who introduces you might read your bio out loud, so the third person is best. Tell readers who you are and what you do right off the bat. Use the basic template, “[Name] is a [title] at [employer, institution, or organization].”  Write, for example, “Jackie Mula is an associate professor of philosophy at Ritter College.” If you don’t have a professional title or much experience, put your education front and center. For instance: “Noelle Poremski recently earned a BFA in dance from New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.” Concisely explain what you do and why your contribution is important. You could give a bird’s-eye-view of your career or, if you’re in academia, sum up your research focus. It’s also helpful to describe how long you’ve been active in your field with phrases such “over 5 years as a” or “a decade of experience.” Examples include, “For nearly a decade, she has managed the daily operations of the company’s 7 Northeast regional branches,” and “Her research focuses on the early detection of reproductive cancers through the development of novel blood testing techniques.” Choose around 3 of your most compelling accomplishments, and detail them in 2 to 3 sentences. Refer to your list of accomplishments, and choose the top honors that are most relevant to your purpose.  For instance, write, “In 2016, Sophie received the prestigious Breeder of the Year award from the German Shepherd Dog Club of America. Additionally, she’s a renowned trainer of K9 and commercial security dogs. Since 2010, has run a charity dedicated to finding forever homes for rescued working dogs.” Suppose you’re writing a profile for your company’s directory or website, and you’re trying to narrow down your list of achievements. Mentioning that you oversaw the organization’s rebranding is more relevant than writing about winning employee of the quarter at another company. If you have tons of professional experience and you’re running out of room, it's okay to leave out education. Otherwise, skip a line after your bio's main content and add something like, “Madison holds an MFA in photography from the Rhode Island School of Design.  Recall that, if you’re short on professional experience, you should put your education up front.  If you don’t like the look of putting education on a separate line, don't skip an extra space after the main body. If ending with your education feels unnatural, consider including it earlier in text. Just keep in mind it's better to call attention to professional accomplishments than education. Don’t include personal information in formal descriptions, such as an academic bio or a grant proposal. On the other hand, for a bio listed on your company’s website or directory, mentioning a unique hobby or interest can showcase who you are outside of work.  You could write, “In his spare time, Albert enjoys hiking and rock climbing, and he has scaled 3 of North America’s top 5 highest peaks.” Note that, for formal descriptions, you can include professional interests or hobbies that are related to your industry or discipline. For example: “In addition to her clinical research in obstetrics, Dr. Lutz avidly studies childbirth customs and practices in cultures throughout history.”
Summary: Create first and third person versions of your description. Include your name and title in the first sentence. Write a sentence that sums up the work you do. Mention your top achievements, awards, and certifications. Put education at the end, unless you don’t have much experience. Wrap up with a personal detail, unless your bio is formal.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Use a pasta with lots of nooks and crannies, such as: bow ties, corkscrews, penne, wagon wheels, macaroni, or small shells. You will need the extra space so that you can add your ingredients and toss it. This will be enough to give your salad some extra flavor, color, and texture. If you do not want to add any meat, then double the amount of other extra ingredients you will be using. Here are some ideas of what you can add into your salad:  Cooked, chopped chicken breast, steak, or shrimp Cubed ham, roast beef, or salami Drained and flaked canned tuna Chopped hard-boiled eggs Chopped baked tofu Choose two different types of vegetable or bean. You will need 1 cup (150 grams) of each. Any vegetables you add should be chopped, slices, or diced. Here are some types of vegetables or beans you can add:  Blanched vegetables, such as: broccoli florets, peas, corn kernels, green beans, or asparagus. Raw vegetables, sliced or diced, such as: celery, cucumber, red onion, red or green bell pepper, carrots, or cherry tomatoes. Drained, canned beans, such as: chickpeas, black beans, or white beans. Certain items, such as cheese, will need to be added at the very end, just before you serve the salad. Here are some ideas to get you started:  Chopped sun-dried tomatoes Chopped roasted red peppers Pitted and chopped olives Shredded or crumbled cheese, such as: mozzarella, cheddar, Swiss, Monterey Jack, feta, Parmesan, or goat Toasted and chopped nuts such as: pine nuts, cashews, or peanuts Toasted seeds such as: sesame (use less than 1/3 cup/50 grams) or sunflower Cooked/fried and crumbled bacon The best way to prepare salad dressing is in a jar. Simply put all of the ingredients into a jar, close the jar tightly, and shake it. Some of the creamier dressings, however, are best prepared in a cup and beaten with a fork. Here are some dressings you can make:  To make a simple vinaigrette: combine 1/3 cup (80 milliliters) of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of white wine vinegar, 1 minced shallot, ½ teaspoon of salt, and a dash of pepper. To make a creamy dressing: combine 1/3 cup (85 grams) of mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons of sour cream, 1½ tablespoons of lemon juice, add ½ cup (15 grams) of chopped, mixed herbs. Add a dash of salt and pepper. To male a creamy parmesan dressing: combine ¼ cup (65 grams) of mayonnaise, ¼ cup (65 grams) of sour cream, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, ¼ teaspoon of finely grated garlic, and ¾ cup (75 grams) of grated parmesan. Add a dash of salt and pepper. If you are going to add cheese, set it aside for now. It is better to add cheese just before serving the salad, or it will become soggy. Cover the bowl with a sheet of plastic cling wrap and place it into the fridge. Give the salad a final toss to mix everything in.
Summary:
Cook and chill 8 ounces (228.57 grams) of pasta of your choice. Transfer your chilled pasta to a large bowl. Choose three types of vegetables or protein to add to your salad. Consider adding in 1 cup (150 grams) of some protein. Consider adding in two cups (300 grams) of vegetables or beans. Consider adding 1/3 cup (50 grams) of a mix-in. Prepare the dressing. Toss the pasta with the dressing and other ingredients. Chill the salad for up to three hours. Add garnishes such as cheese and herbs just before serving.
