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)頁或是博客寫一份“個人資料”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)該能不用太過掙扎地寫出一份迷人的“個人資料”描述。同時，記住你的“個人資料”說明是一個動態(tài)文件，所以無論何時靈感迸發(fā)，你都可以（而且應(yīng)該）返回來升級它，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“個人資料”部分應(yīng)該傳達(dá)你是誰以及你是做什么的，如何達(dá)到今天的狀態(tài)，以及下一步的打算。接下來的練習(xí)對解決這些問題是很有幫助的。在每個問題上花5分鐘左右的時間。你可以使用“示例”回答來給自己一些想法，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)到這個狀態(tài)的？你的背景如何能讓你變得獨(dú)一無二？

Example answer:
示例回答：

? ● Madison is a director of brand marketing, with experience managing global teams and multi-million dollar campaigns. Her background in brand strategy, visual design, and account management inform her mindful but competitive approach.
麥迪遜是一名品牌營銷總監(jiān)，有管理全球團(tuán)隊和數(shù)百萬美元競選的經(jīng)驗。她在品牌戰(zhàn)略、視覺設(shè)計以及賬戶管理方面的背景讓她意識到自己專注但很有競爭力的方法。

2. In terms of the work you do, what aspects are you most passionate about? Why?
2. 根據(jù)你所做的工作，你對哪方面最有熱情？為什么？

Example answer:
示例回答：

? ● Madison is fueled by her passion for understanding the nuances of cross-cultural advertising. She considers herself a ‘forever student,’ eager to both build on her academic foundations in psychology and sociology, and stay in tune with the latest digital marketing strategies through continued coursework.
麥迪遜對跨文化廣告細(xì)微差別的理解熱情讓她充滿動力。她認(rèn)為自己“永遠(yuǎn)是一名學(xué)生”，渴望在心理學(xué)和社會學(xué)的基礎(chǔ)上簡歷自己的學(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.
3. 你認(rèn)為自己最大的專業(yè)技能和個人成就是什么？你的個人特征是如何促成這些成就的？盡可能具體說一說。

Example answer:
示例回答：

? ● Her hunger for knowledge and determination to turn information into action has contributed to her most recent success at Rockwell Group, where she led international, award-winning campaigns for heavy-hitting brands such as Puma, Gucci, and Rolex.
她對知識的渴望和將信息轉(zhuǎn)化為行動的決心促成了她在羅克韋爾集團(tuán)最近的成功，在這里她領(lǐng)導(dǎo)國際一流的品牌，為重量級品牌如彪馬、古琦和勞力士屢獲殊榮。

? ● Meanwhile, she vastly improved the productivity of her department by implementing strategic project management strategies and ensuring a work-life balance for her team. Madison believes mindfulness in the workplace is key to success, a tenet she lives out through her interests in yoga, meditation, gardening,? and painting.
?同時，通過實行戰(zhàn)略項目管理策略和確保團(tuán)隊工作與生活的平衡，她大大提高了所在部門的生產(chǎn)力。麥迪遜認(rèn)為工作場所的正念是成功的關(guān)鍵，她通過瑜伽、冥想、園藝和繪畫來實現(xiàn)自己的興趣。

4. What are you looking for right now? If you’re job seeking, considering a career change or looking to take on freelance projects, mention it in your statement. (Include your email address as the last sentence.)

Tips for Writing a Great ‘About Me’ Page
寫一個很棒的“個人資料”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)，就會有一些材料進(jìn)入“個人資料”頁面。理想情況下，每個回答都會轉(zhuǎn)入下一個。再一次說明，你希望成品傳達(dá)你是誰，你是做什么的，怎樣達(dá)到這個狀態(tài)，以及接下來的打算。

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還是第一人稱。第一人涉及語句的使用，“我”，而第三人稱（如上所示）用“他”或“她”。你會發(fā)現(xiàn)“個人資料”兩者都可以使用。最重要的是你堅持用一個，而不是在兩者之間交替。如果你在商業(yè)網(wǎng)站上寫“個人資料”，一般建議使用第三人稱。然而，如果是你的個人作品或博客，最好用第一人稱。

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太長，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“我是最好的營銷專業(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.使用你自己的說話方式。不要使用詞典或商業(yè)書籍中的詞。用你自己的聲音，努力在個人和專業(yè)之間取得平衡。你不會用跟別人相同的方式來介紹你自己，比如說某個你剛才在酒吧遇到的人。但你也不應(yīng)該像一個競選總統(tǒng)的政客那樣說話。同時，要誠實地對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“個人資料”的頁面上，你會發(fā)現(xiàn)幽默是非常有效的。但是，要避免一些你不擅長的笑話，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.誠實一些。你的“個人資料”頁應(yīng)該反映你的真實興趣，不管是個人的還是與工作相關(guān)的。你永遠(yuǎn)不知道什么時候有人會使用你材料中的陳述來搭訕。例如說，如果你對瑜伽不是很感興趣，別寫你喜歡瑜伽，或者你討厭工作中的賬戶管理，別寫你對客戶熱情的經(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，打印，并且大聲讀出來。錯別字讓你看起來漫不經(jīng)心，降低你的敬業(yè)精神。當(dāng)你的陳述完成時要校對一下，并請你的朋友也幫忙校對。然后，把它打印出來并大聲讀出來。這不僅能幫你捕捉任何拼寫、語法錯誤，同時也是確保陳述讀起來自然的最好方式，聽起來像在說你本人。如果有什么事讓你覺得尷尬、可笑或者看起來不像你說的話，那就把句子重寫一遍，直到聽起來像是你說的。

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”這個詞，你可以把它鏈接到你的LinkedIn簡介。此外，如果你提到你所做過的任何具體項目，在可以的時候添加鏈接，無論是你的作品鏈接，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)驗的博客文章。
