đź“„ Biodata Format: A Simple Guide for Freshers
If you’ve ever been asked to “send your biodata”, you probably thought:
👉 “Wait… isn’t that just my resume?”
Not exactly. While resumes and CVs highlight professional achievements, a biodata is a short personal + professional profile still widely used in South Asia—for job applications and even marriage proposals.
1. What is a Biodata?
- Resume → Focused on skills, work experience, and achievements
- CV → Academic + professional history, detailed and long
- Biodata → Snapshot of personal background + basic career info
Think of biodata as your story in one page.
2. What to Include in a Biodata
Here’s a quick checklist ✅
- Personal details (Name, Age, Gender, Contact Info)
- Education background
- Work experience (if any)
- Skills
- Hobbies & interests
- Family details (mainly for marriage biodata)
đź’ˇ Keep it short and clear. One page is usually enough.
3. Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ Copy-pasting your resume instead of making a biodata
❌ Adding irrelevant info (like religion/caste unless requested)
❌ Making it cluttered or too long
👉 Remember: Biodata is about simplicity + clarity.
4. Pro Tip: Format Matters
Even if biodata feels a little “old-school,” presentation is everything.
A clean layout helps you stand out.
