Common Marketing Manager resume mistakes

  • Describing campaigns run without any performance metric: reach, CTR, conversion, ROI.

  • No mention of budget size managed, which is the first thing hiring managers scan for at the Manager level.

  • Listing channels ("ran social media") instead of outcomes ("grew organic social following 3x").

  • Missing team or vendor leadership. Manager-level roles are expected to show people management, not just execution.
