Key is don't write a generic one as it will inevitably look generic. Thanks about it's objective, it's audience and what you want them to take away from it. That goes as much for the style as the content.

3rd person sounds more impersonal and professional and also like someone else is promoting you...not yourself...it seems like some one else has an opinion of you.

cheers dude... this is A LOT harder than i thought it would be

That's because you haven't got much to work with.

Just do it, man, and stop faffing
