What a bio for students has to do
A student bio should point forward: what you study, what you are building or learning, and where you want to go. That gives people a reason to follow along and gives recruiters something to search for. Skip the year of graduation unless you want to be found by recruiters for that intake.
Once the bio is set, the posts have to match it. The tweet ideas for students page has prompts and opening lines to start from.
Questions
Should students say where they study in their bio?
It helps people find you and gives context. If you would rather keep it private, say what you study and what you are building instead.
How long can an X bio be?
Up to 160 characters. Links in the bio are shortened, and the profile also has separate fields for a website and a location, so you don’t need to spend bio space on either.
Does this tool use AI?
No. It arranges your own answers into common bio shapes, so every word is yours. That’s on purpose: a bio written by a model tends to sound like everyone else’s.
