Marketing Industry Resume Guide

Marketing ATS screens prioritize channel ownership, metrics, and stack alignment. Lead with outcomes (pipeline, CAC, conversion, engagement) tied to the channels in the posting—not a laundry list of every campaign you ever touched.

What marketing hiring managers scan for

• Ownership of channels or programs named in the JD
• Quantified results (MQLs, revenue, ROAS, retention, SEO rankings)
• Tools actually used (CRM, MAP, analytics, CMS, ad platforms)
• Cross-functional work with sales, product, or design when relevant

Common weak spots

• Tool dumps without campaign or funnel context
• Vanity metrics with no business outcome
• Generic “grew brand awareness” bullets that ignore the JD’s KPIs
