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.
