Both profiles contain similar information, but the profile for the petition is more formal than the social media profile.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Write your profile on social media

1. 

   Determine the space you can write on each of the social media platforms. While some websites allow large word volumes to be written, impressive resumes are often short and concise.
   • Facebook: The "About you" section, which includes "Write about yourself", work and education, "Professional skills", and "Favorite quotes". In fact, Facebook is not limited to word count.
   • Twitter: Your profile is limited to 160 characters, plus space for a linked page and your location.
   • LinkedIn: Include a title and a summary. There's also a section for your resume and skills.

2. 

   
   
   Take a look at popular social media profile templates. Refer to using word limits to take advantage of social media profiles on several platforms.
   • Hillary Clinton's Twitter profile: "The wife, mother, lawyer, advocate for women and children, US Senator, minister, author, dog owner, hair icon, trouser fan bunch, glass ceiling breaker, .... "With only 160 characters, Clinton introduced a wide range of practical details about himself as well as incorporating funny points. Her profile is both specific and entertaining and unique.
   • A short, but interesting Facebook profile: Browse and view your friends' Facebook profile templates to avoid rambling in the "About You" and "Write About Me" sections. If a friend is creating a professional profile on Facebook (which is very smart, as employers can find candidates on Facebook), you should learn if she uses the right content and still drags Roll and differ. Ask yourself: if the person is a complete stranger, would you like to be friends with her based on her Facebook profile?
   • The corporate communications expert's LinkedIn profile: "Even though I'm a commercial public relations person, I've always been a dedicated reporter. I can't make things up that I don't believe in myself. I have a passion for discovering the unique and engaging ways people are using a product, service or website and am excited to realize that I can help thousands of people tell their stories. surname." This trailer is very specific, assertive, and professional. However, in the introduction, the author has also incorporated personal details about himself to add some of his personality.

3. 

   
   
   Keep it short and informative. Most profiles on social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Google+ only allow a certain number of characters to be used to describe themselves. Therefore, it is important that you maximize your word count and make it as simple as possible.
   • An impressive profile on social media sites like Twitter, with short, concise messages, can turn into a postmodern work of art. Although it may be difficult to narrow your personal information into a small portfolio, think about a promotional article, or attempt a six-word autobiography.

4. 

   
   
   Basic information about yourself. You should start making a list of basic information such as your name, job (or expertise), where you live and any links or keywords that lead to other social media sites like your blog. Remember that viewers want to know what to expect from your social media account and the value you will bring in content on their Newsfeed, Twitterfeed or LinkedIn pages.
   • If you're creating a Twitter profile, link to another Twitter account you co-own. For example, if you are creating a profile for a personal Twitter account, but also manage a business Twitter account, create a link (add the @ character in front of your account name) at the bottom of your Twitter profile. .
   • For example, a basic Twitter profile might be: "Jane Jane Doe, writer who lives in California. Also works for ABC Press @ABCPress".

5. 

   Add interests, personal background, and a little bit of humor. More or less personal details in your profile will depend on the social media platform you choose. Often times, social media profiles with a sense of humor are easy to impress.
   • This could be a witty keyword, like Hillary Clinton's "tights crazy fan" note, or humble humor, like a "remorse / no-regret" writer about correcting your grammar. "or a student" addicted to all types of caffeine. "
   • Facebook is not limited in terms of space, so you can add your interests and profiles. Creating a professional Facebook profile will be similar to a LinkedIn profile or Twitter profile. So, don't be afraid to reuse impressive resume templates on another page.
   • Twitter is often limited in terms of space, so most of what you want to say is only a few words. You can summarize the resume, such as: "Jane Doe, writer who lives in California. Also works for ABC Press @ABCPress." Or you can expand it to add a personal taste and some humor, for example: "Jane Doe, a word junkie, lives the same dream in California. Find more witty messages (but in clean) by me at @ABCPress. "

6. 

   Ensure uniqueness but avoid buzzwords. Now that you have the basics, let's edit it to make a difference. However, try to stay away from buzzwords that most readers are abusing.
   • Recently LinkedIn has come up with a list of common terms to avoid.Using common words like "responsible", "creative", or "capable" in your resume feels general or boring.
   • Think of other terms or phrases that are more specific to who you are. For example, in the corporate media profile on LinkedIn, the author avoids buzzwords by extending his personal approach to public relations: "I have a passion to explore the unique and engaging way people are using a product, service or website and enjoy realizing that they can help thousands of people tell their stories. The quote is more convincing than: I am a responsible, creative, and able public relations officer.

7. 

   Tailor your profile to your audience. If you are creating a profile for your personal social media account, you can add funny phrases, slang, and other catchy phrases. If you're creating a professional social media account profile, you need to use more formal and polite words. It's important to tailor your profile to your audience and think about how you want your followers or readers to see you.
   • For example, the Twitter profile for your personal account might be: "Jane Jane Doe, a word junkie, loves life on the West Coast, the 24/7 sun and taco cake. Also in charge of communications. witty message for ABC Press @ABCPress. "
   • The Twitter profile for a professional site is usually more formal. However, most experts on Twitter still keep the expression quite simple and light. For example: "Jane Doe, a word enthusiast, who resides in California, also writes a message for ABC Press @ABCPress."

8. 

   Regularly revise your profile. Your skills, interests and expertise may change, so your profile also needs to be revised. You should check in every few months to make sure the information on the profile is still relevant to you.
   • Review profiles to include sharper, more humorous descriptions and language. This will help you gain more readers and followers. Focusing on your social media profile helps your current followers know that you care about how you present yourself and that you can do just that.

However, this doesn't mean you have to start every sentence with the pronoun "I". An impressive profile is a combination of skills and goals, but not based on abuse of the pronoun "I".

Method 3 of 3: Write a profile on a dating page

1. 

   Use the latest portrait photo. You don't have to spend too much on a professional photo, but if you post a photo taken with a rather fuzzy mobile phone or a teenage photo, the viewer will not be able to imagine the appearance. at your own.
   • Ask a friend to take pictures for you on a summer day. Don't wear sunglasses, hats, or stand in the dark.
   • Don't forget to smile and look straight at the camera as if you were delighted to see the person facing you. Profile pictures need to appeal and show off your best side.
   • Action shots are effective because they express interest in an active, intimate way. Pick a photo of you playing a disc game in the park or dancing at a concert.

2. 

   Choose a profile name that isn't too ridiculous or childish. Names like "SpunkyHunk" or HotMinx "will take us back to high school, but ridiculous or sexually oriented names will make others think that you're not really serious about a relationship or relationship. this.
   • Choose a profile name that reveals your personality but still shows maturity. You can abbreviate your name to make the profile simpler. For example: "SuperSteph13" or "BradW."

3. 

   Ask a close friend to help you write your resume. It's hard to really describe the impression of yourself in words. A close friend will understand you better than you do, and they may add details about yourself that you may not be able to recognize or feel awkward about in your resume.

4. 

   Be specific about your preferences. Don't just write down hobbies like "walking on the beach" or "drinking at the weekend". These clichés won't make your profile stand out. Think of interesting hobbies that might trigger a conversation, like the game "Cards Against Humanity Champion 2015" or "Travel Addiction in South America" ​​or "Fan of Battlestar Galactica".
   • Try to add sociable interests. Hobbies like "nerd" or "internet addiction" show that you're not an extrovert and don't hang out much. Mention your love of sports, outdoor or public activities, like concerts and art exhibitions.
   • Focus on the specifics and features, like books, movies, celebrities or your favorite sport. Instead of writing "hockey", list your favorite hockey team, or instead of "thrill game", list your favorite action novel.

5. 

   Be honest and brave. Honesty is the best virtue in all dating situations, especially online dating. Profile lies make it very awkward to meet face-to-face as this will destroy a relationship with a potential partner. So, be honest and straightforward about yourself.
   • Have the courage to show in your record what you are looking for. Avoid posting a list of everlasting and practical needs. Instead, try writing a simple sentence that starts with "I believe ..." or "I'm looking for ..."
   • Instead: "I'm looking for a tall, healthy, extroverted, vegan and gluten-free guy to give my love and become the father of three (not four!) My future children!) mine." Try: "I believe in love, respect and honesty with my partner. I am looking for someone who can share my interests and is serious about this relationship."
   • Add a funny question or statement to your profile. This will make your profile interesting and attractive to more potential opponents. Example: "If you decide to text me, I want to know: What is your highest score for today?"

6. 

   Keep records short and concise. Imagine you meet someone in a bar and have only five minutes to talk about yourself. You should stick to the main points in your profile as well as any interests or interests you are interested in. Avoid long words about yourself.

7. 

   Be positive. If you are someone with a knack for sarcasm, this tone should be minimized in an online profile. Avoid negative or sarcastic tone and try to keep yourself optimistic. A harsh, indignant, I-can't-believe-believe-me-am-dating-online application can be rejected immediately. So focus on what you want, rather than the things you don't like.
   • Instead: "I am NOT looking for a random encounter or arbitrary relationship, whatever THAT means. I will stay away from irresponsible and unbelieving guys. Try writing:" Me I believe matchmaking means connecting others, but I need monogamy. This is the only type of connection I was looking for. You too, right? "

8. 

   Check your grammar and spelling. Many people assume that grammatical and spelling errors are a sign that you haven't put a lot of time and effort into your resume.
   • Before posting your resume, copy and paste it into Word and use the spellchecker to make sure your resume is grammatically correct.
   • Use caution when using dating acronyms, like WLTM (Want to Meet) and LTR (Long Term Relationship). Not everyone knows these things. If you want to use them in your resume, here are a few common words:
   • WLTM (Would Like to Meet): want to meet
   • GSOH (Good Sense of Humor): has a sense of humor
   • LTR (Long Term Relationship): long term relationship
   • F / ship (Friendship): friendship
