MAKE A BIO-DATA

Biodata is an abbreviated term that means Biographical Data. It is a document which contains all factual information about an individual, including personal facts such as date of birth, father’s name, gender, marital status, height, complexion, etc. Biodata also includes data about the individual’s educational and professional history, as well as their skills and hobbies. This important document is usually 1-3 pages in length, and it is often used to apply for employment. The Biodata format is very specific, and in certain countries it must be followed.
Biodata vs. Resume

From the above definition of biodata, it seems difficult to differentiate it from a regular resume, yet there are specific distinctions between a biodata and a resume.

Resume is a French word that means extract or summary. Hence, a resume summarizes the facts about an individual’s personal information, such as educational background, hobbies and interests. It focuses on the most relevant and precise information that pertains to a certain job.

Biodata, on the other hand, focuses on personal information other than just the person’s education and career experience. It includes data that are usually not present on a resume, such as marital status, father’s name, birth date, gender, religion, race, and nationality. Some biodata can even include physical features, like eye color or body complexion.
