Freely start typing in the second page, starting from filling up personal details, then educational qualifications and then any training and certifications you may have completed.

If you have any doubt while updating your details on the biodata format, you can always refer to the first page to see how to update a given section.

You can change the font style, color or table width as you need; but, we would suggest that you do not change any of the formatting settings since we have already chosen the most professional settings for designing this biodata format.

You would also notice that there is no space for adding your photograph. It is on purpose. the reason is photograph is a very personal detail and it should not be freely added to documents. So we suggest that you add your photograph to the printed out version of your biodata and only if the person receiving the biodata for employment or any other reason requests your photograph. Otherwise, there is no need to add a photograph to your biodata.

You can delete any of the rows you do not want from the biodata by right clicking and selecting "delete row". Similarly, you can also add new rows by right-clicking and selecting "insert rows". We have already selected the most relevant and minimum required information to be on the biodata so you may not need to delete or add new rows, but we are letting you know that the flexibility is there for you to edit your biodata whichever way you want.

Educational Qualifications

Once you have completed updating the personal details, move to the next section, which is your educational qualifications. Starting from SSLC, you can update details for each of the rows. Rename the qualification name to whatever you need. For example, you have done a Diploma in Mechanical Engineering after 10th standard, then edit the HSC to Diploma.

Similarly, if you do not need the row for post-graduation, simply delete the row by right-clicking on that specific row and selecting delete row. It is very easy.

Training and Certifications details

Once you completed the educational details section, now you should move to the Training and Certifications section. In this section, one-by-one list down all training you attended and certificates you have acheved.

One thing to keep in mind when updating this section is, you should include training and certification that are important for employment purposes. There is no need to include all the training you may have attended.

For example, if you are looking for jobs as a Mechanical Engineering appprentice after your Diploma in Mechanical Engineering, there is no need to include the embroidery training you attended in your school days.
