WHAT IS A PERSONAL PROFILE?

A personal profile gives a brief and clear account on someone's life. On the one hand, you can write it in a form of a description, giving the most important information such as personal data, your education, and career achievements. You also might add a few words about your interests.
On the other hand, you can summarise the description and present it in the form of a table including just the essential pieces of your background information. You should bear in mind you can always do it the other way round: filling in the table first and then, if necessary, writing the description.
