Write a team bio

A good bio says what kind of projects the person runs and what they are qualified to do. The same bio often gets pasted into tender submissions.

The prompt
I work in marketing at a construction firm. Help me write a bio for someone on our team.

Context: A good bio says what kind of projects the person runs and what they are qualified to do. The same bio often gets pasted into tender submissions.

Before you start, ask me for anything missing from this list:
- Their role, experience and qualifications
- The kind of work they do most
- Something a client said about them

Then:
1. Open with who they help and how.
2. Give qualifications plainly.
3. Add one human line.

Give me:
- A 120-word bio
- A 40-word version
- A one-line version

Rules:
- Use only the facts I give you. Where something is missing, write [detail needed]. Never invent a number, a name, a quote or a source.
- Describe building work in general terms only. Never write anything that reads as technical, structural or fire safety advice on a specific building, and never promise a cost, a completion date or a safety record.
- Write in plain English, in our voice if I have given you a sample.
- Do not tell me what the rules or regulations say. If something may be restricted, flag it and I will check.

Finish with a list headed "Check before this goes out". Include these, plus anything else the director who approves marketing or our health, safety and quality lead should see:
- Qualifications, cards and professional memberships, checked as current
- Named projects and values, with client permission
- Words like chartered, certified or accredited, and the basis for them

Paste it into Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot. It will ask you for what it needs.

Check before this goes out

  • Qualifications, cards and professional memberships, checked as current
  • Named projects and values, with client permission
  • Words like chartered, certified or accredited, and the basis for them

The prompt gives you a first draft. Someone qualified still approves anything a client will read.
