Fictional candidate, created for demonstration. Select the document to read it full size.

The same person, twice.

Nothing was invented between these two documents. The facts are identical. What changed is which facts are visible and how they are described.

What they arrived with

What they left with

How we approached it

Paid media is one of the few fields where the results are measured continuously, which makes a resume without numbers actively suspicious. Hers listed platforms and left every outcome out.

We led with the two facts a hiring manager screens on: how much monthly budget she has actually handled, and what happened to cost per acquisition while she handled it. Everything else supports those two.

The bullet explaining how the cost came down matters more than the number itself. Anyone can inherit a good quarter. Naming the five ad sets paused and the segmentation rebuilt shows the judgement behind the result.

What actually changed

  1. 01

    Budget scale stated

    A monthly spend of roughly 4.5 lakh rupees is the first credibility marker in this field and appeared nowhere on the original document.

  2. 02

    The metric that moved was named

    Blended cost per acquisition from 620 to 410 rupees over three quarters, with the specific changes that produced it, replaced 'optimised campaigns for better results'.

  3. 03

    Platforms became competencies

    'Facebook, Instagram, Google' became Meta Ads Manager and Google Ads by campaign type, including Shopping and Performance Max, which is how these roles are advertised.

  4. 04

    Measurement work was surfaced

    Setting up GA4 events and a client-facing dashboard was missing entirely. It is a real differentiator, because most executives at this level run campaigns without owning the tracking.

  5. 05

    Certifications given dates

    Undated platform certifications are assumed stale. Both now carry the year they were earned.

  6. 06

    Client names handled correctly

    Named clients were replaced with category descriptions. Agency contracts frequently prohibit naming accounts, and a resume is a published document.

Decisions inside the document

Four choices we make on every resume, and how they were resolved here.

Presenting skills

Split into Paid, Analytics, Content and Tools. Keeping analytics separate from paid is deliberate: it is the split between someone who spends a budget and someone who can prove what the budget did.

Presenting projects

No projects section. With two years of measurable channel work, a projects block would only compete with the evidence that matters.

ATS-conscious structure

Both 'CPA' and 'cost per acquisition' appear, as do 'GA4' and 'Google Analytics 4'. Agency job descriptions use the short forms and in-house descriptions often use the long ones.

Visual design

A single accent rail in a muted green, and otherwise plain. Marketing resumes are frequently over-designed, which reads as compensating. Restraint is the stronger signal when the numbers are already there.
