Digital marketing resumes are strongest when they show channel-specific results with real numbers. Don't just say you 'managed social media' — specify the platform, audience size, and engagement or growth achieved. Tool fluency is essential; list specific platforms for each channel. WadeCV can tailor your marketing skills to each employer's channel mix and industry.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Generic 'social media' without platform, audience size, or metrics
- No mention of specific tools — ATS filters on platform names
- Missing ROAS, CPA, or growth metrics on paid campaigns
