Career Biographies? Really?

Posted by Dulcinea Norton-Smith Jun 3, 2008

In exploring the world of writing and researching biographies I suddenly realised that not everything is all we assume it is.

A biography can just be a great story or a record of someone's life but they can also be a powerful tool to open up the possibilities for a person's future.

Have you ever felt like you were lacking in direction or a sense of who you are? Then a Career Biography may be a great way to find yourself.

There are many people who know they would be great for a job if only they could get noticed but their Curriculum Vitae is less than inspiring.

Let us also not forget the stay at home moms and dads. Those excellent organisation and co-ordination skills needed just to get three kids out of the house in the morning or into bed will fit nowhere on a CV but can be fully reflected in a Career Biography.

So why did I stray from the traditional biography path to write about Career Biographies? I guess it was just to share with the world that biographies need not be just an interesting story. They can be a life changing work of art.
