How to structure a marketing résumé
- One page, two at most
- Put your most recent and relevant roles first. Drop roles older than 10 to 15 years unless they matter for this job.
- A summary that says what you're great at
- Two or three lines: your specialty, years of experience, the kind of company, and your best result.
- Results, not duties
- Every bullet starts with a verb and ends with a number: revenue, pipeline, signups, conversion, traffic, cost.
- Tools and skills in plain words
- List the platforms you've used for real. Recruiters search résumés for exact tool names.
- Links
- Portfolio, writing samples, case studies or the accounts you grew. Marketing is easy to show, so show it.
