Writing an ‘About Me’ page or section for your portfolio, website, or blog is never easy. But, the good news is, if you follow the formula and use the tips below, you should be able to generate an engaging ‘About Me’ statement without too much of a struggle. Also, remember that your ‘About Me’ page is a living document, so whenever inspiration strikes, you can (and should) come back and update the page to ensure it accurately reflects where you’re at in life.
為你的作品、網(wǎng)頁(yè)或是博客寫(xiě)一份“個(gè)人資料”絕非易事。但好消息是，如果你參照準(zhǔn)則并使用以下建議，你應(yīng)該能不用太過(guò)掙扎地寫(xiě)出一份迷人的“個(gè)人資料”描述。同時(shí)，記住你的“個(gè)人資料”說(shuō)明是一個(gè)動(dòng)態(tài)文件，所以無(wú)論何時(shí)靈感迸發(fā)，你都可以（而且應(yīng)該）返回來(lái)升級(jí)它，以確保它能準(zhǔn)確反映出你的生活狀態(tài)。

Let’s get started.
讓我們開(kāi)始吧。

Your ‘About Me’ section should convey who you are and what you’re doing, how you got there, and where you’re looking to go next. The following exercises can be helpful in figuring all of that out. Spend about 5 minutes on each question. You can use the ‘example’ answers to give you an idea of what that answer might sound like in its final form, but be sure to use your own words.
你的“個(gè)人資料”部分應(yīng)該傳達(dá)你是誰(shuí)以及你是做什么的，如何達(dá)到今天的狀態(tài)，以及下一步的打算。接下來(lái)的練習(xí)對(duì)解決這些問(wèn)題是很有幫助的。在每個(gè)問(wèn)題上花5分鐘左右的時(shí)間。你可以使用“示例”回答來(lái)給自己一些想法，答案最終應(yīng)該是什么樣的，但要用你自己的話。

1. What are you currently doing (in regards to your career) and how did you get there? How does your background make you unique?
1. 你目前是做什么的（關(guān)于你的職業(yè)），你是怎樣達(dá)到這個(gè)狀態(tài)的？你的背景如何能讓你變得獨(dú)一無(wú)二？

麥迪遜對(duì)跨文化廣告細(xì)微差別的理解熱情讓她充滿(mǎn)動(dòng)力。她認(rèn)為自己“永遠(yuǎn)是一名學(xué)生”，渴望在心理學(xué)和社會(huì)學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)上簡(jiǎn)歷自己的學(xué)術(shù)基礎(chǔ)，并與持續(xù)課程中講述的最新的數(shù)字市場(chǎng)戰(zhàn)略保持一致。

3. What do you consider some of your biggest professional and personal accomplishments? How did your attributes contribute to those accomplishments? Be as specific as you can.

? ● Meanwhile, she vastly improved the productivity of her department by implementing strategic project management strategies and ensuring a work-life balance for her team.

Tips for Writing a Great ‘About Me’ Page
寫(xiě)一個(gè)很棒的“個(gè)人資料”的技巧

1. Once you’ve completed the exercises above, you’ll have some material to work into your ‘About Me’ page. Ideally, each answer should flow into the next. Again, you want the finished product to convey who you are and what you’re doing, how you got there, and where you’re looking to go next. Once your answers are organized into paragraphs, they would read something like this:
1. 一旦你完成了上面的練習(xí)，就會(huì)有一些材料進(jìn)入“個(gè)人資料”頁(yè)面。理想情況下，每個(gè)回答都會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)入下一個(gè)。再一次說(shuō)明，你希望成品傳達(dá)你是誰(shuí)，你是做什么的，怎樣達(dá)到這個(gè)狀態(tài)，以及接下來(lái)的打算。

2. Decide if you want to use third or first person. First person involves the use of statement as in, “I and me,” whereas third person (as exemplified above) uses “he/him” or “she/her.” You will find “About Me” statements written both ways. Most important is that you stick with one, rather than alternating between the two. If you’re writing the ‘About’ statement on a business website, it’s generally advised to use third person. However, if your website is a personal portfolio or blog, it’s best to use first person.
2.決定你是想用第三人稱(chēng)還是第一人稱(chēng)。第一人涉及語(yǔ)句的使用，“我”，而第三人稱(chēng)（如上所示）用“他”或“她”。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)“個(gè)人資料”兩者都可以使用。最重要的是你堅(jiān)持用一個(gè)，而不是在兩者之間交替。如果你在商業(yè)網(wǎng)站上寫(xiě)“個(gè)人資料”，一般建議使用第三人稱(chēng)。然而，如果是你的個(gè)人作品或博客，最好用第一人稱(chēng)。

3. Don’t ramble. Most likely, your reader’s attention span isn’t going to be very long. Try to keep your statement under 250 words, at the maximum.
3.別閑扯。你的讀者很可能注意力不會(huì)太長(zhǎng)，盡量把你的描述控制在250字內(nèi)。

4. Stay humble. Although it’s important to include your accomplishments and your experience, do so in a reasonable manner, avoiding outlandish statements.
4.保持謙虛。雖然你的成就和經(jīng)歷是很重要的，但要用一個(gè)合理的方式，避免古怪的描述。

Declarations like “I’m the best marketing professional there is” is, or “Any company that brings me on board is lucky to have me” will certainly hurt you more than it will help you get hired.
像“我是最好的營(yíng)銷(xiāo)專(zhuān)業(yè)人員”，或者“任何雇用我的公司都很幸運(yùn)”這樣的話弊大于利。

5. Use your own voice. Don’t use words out of a thesaurus or a business book. Use your natural voice, aiming to strike a balance between personal and professional. You won’t be introducing yourself in the same way you would be, say, to someone you’ve just met in a bar, but you also shouldn’t sound like a politician running for president. Also, be honest about your interests and goals.
5.使用你自己的說(shuō)話方式。不要使用詞典或商業(yè)書(shū)籍中的詞。用你自己的聲音，努力在個(gè)人和專(zhuān)業(yè)之間取得平衡。你不會(huì)用跟別人相同的方式來(lái)介紹你自己，比如說(shuō)某個(gè)你剛才在酒吧遇到的人。但你也不應(yīng)該像一個(gè)競(jìng)選總統(tǒng)的政客那樣說(shuō)話。同時(shí)，要誠(chéng)實(shí)地對(duì)待自己的興趣和目標(biāo)。

6. Don’t try to be funny if you’re not funny. In some ‘About Me’ pages, you’ll see that humor can be quite effective. However, avoid the jokes if they don’t come naturally to you, and don’t feel pressure to sound clever and entertaining. Focus instead on coming across as approachable and engaging.
6.如果你本身不搞笑，別試著搞笑。在一些“個(gè)人資料”的頁(yè)面上，你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)幽默是非常有效的。但是，要避免一些你不擅長(zhǎng)的笑話，也別為了讓自己顯得聰明有趣而感到壓力。把注意力集中在親近和接觸上。

7. Be honest. Your ‘About Me’ page should reflect your genuine interests, whether they’re personal or work-related. You never know when someone might use material in your statement to strike up a conversation. For example, if you’re not really into yoga, don’t write you’re into yoga, or if you hate the account management aspect of your job, don’t write that you’re passionate about client experience.
7.誠(chéng)實(shí)一些。你的“個(gè)人資料”頁(yè)應(yīng)該反映你的真實(shí)興趣，不管是個(gè)人的還是與工作相關(guān)的。你永遠(yuǎn)不知道什么時(shí)候有人會(huì)使用你材料中的陳述來(lái)搭訕。例如說(shuō)，如果你對(duì)瑜伽不是很感興趣，別寫(xiě)你喜歡瑜伽，或者你討厭工作中的賬戶(hù)管理，別寫(xiě)你對(duì)客戶(hù)熱情的經(jīng)歷。

8. Proofread, print and read aloud. Typos make you look careless and reduce the professionalism of your page. Proofread your statement when it’s complete, and ask a friend to do the same. Then, print it out and read it aloud. Not only will this help you catch any other typos or grammatical mistakes, but, it is the best way to ensure the statement reads naturally, and sounds like you. If anything comes across awkward, funny or simply doesn’t seem like something you would say, rework the sentence until it sounds like something you would say.
8.校對(duì)，打印，并且大聲讀出來(lái)。錯(cuò)別字讓你看起來(lái)漫不經(jīng)心，降低你的敬業(yè)精神。當(dāng)你的陳述完成時(shí)要校對(duì)一下，并請(qǐng)你的朋友也幫忙校對(duì)。然后，把它打印出來(lái)并大聲讀出來(lái)。這不僅能幫你捕捉任何拼寫(xiě)、語(yǔ)法錯(cuò)誤，同時(shí)也是確保陳述讀起來(lái)自然的最好方式，聽(tīng)起來(lái)像在說(shuō)你本人。如果有什么事讓你覺(jué)得尷尬、可笑或者看起來(lái)不像你說(shuō)的話，那就把句子重寫(xiě)一遍，直到聽(tīng)起來(lái)像是你說(shuō)的。

9. Include links when possible and relevant. Make sure your email address is a link. If you use the word ‘experience’ you can link that to your LinkedIn profile. Also, if you mention any specific projects you’ve worked on, add links when you can, whether that’s a link to your portfolio, a positive news article, or even a blog post on your own site that discusses the experience.
9.如有必要，附上相關(guān)鏈接。確保你的電子郵件地址是鏈接。如果你使用“經(jīng)驗(yàn)”這個(gè)詞，你可以把它鏈接到你的LinkedIn簡(jiǎn)介。此外，如果你提到你所做過(guò)的任何具體項(xiàng)目，在可以的時(shí)候添加鏈接，無(wú)論是你的作品鏈接，還是一篇正面的新聞稿，甚至是一篇你在自己網(wǎng)站上討論經(jīng)驗(yàn)的博客文章。
