Marketing postings screen for channel ownership and spend responsibility. A resume that describes campaigns without budgets, channels or conversion numbers reads as coordination rather than management, and gets filtered accordingly.

Check your resume against a real posting
A checklist tells you what the market asks for. Paste an actual job description and your resume to see which of these terms you are already covering and which you are not — free, and the resume never leaves your browser.
Run the checkHow to evidence these on the page
- Lead with spend and return: "Managed a ₹40L annual ad budget at 3.2x ROAS" answers the only question a hiring manager has.
- Separate organic from paid results explicitly. Conflating them is the fastest way to lose a marketer's trust.
- Give traffic and conversion numbers with a baseline and a timeframe — "grew organic sessions 3x in eight months, from 12k to 36k".
- Name the CRM and automation platform. These are screened for as hard as the ad channels.
What gets these resumes rejected
- Claiming credit for growth that coincided with a funding round or a seasonal spike, without saying so.
- Listing channels without ever naming a budget, which signals you have not owned one.
A caution about keyword stuffing
Every term above is worth including only if it is true of you. Padding a resume with unearned keywords gets you into interviews you then fail, which is worse than not being shortlisted. Use this as a prompt to surface experience you already have and forgot to write down — not as a list to copy.
