Wide margins and no rules. Typewriter-style name, headings and dates over a plain sans body. Switching layouts never changes the words.

A preview only. Nothing is saved.

Social media resumes lose the screen when they list platforms and say "grew engagement". A hiring manager wants the accounts you ran, how often you posted, what you shot and edited yourself, the ad budget you handled and what the numbers did. This template shows each of those with a figure a manager can check against their own dashboard.

Have the real job posting? Paste it into the keyword scanner to see the skills it asks for most, and which ones your resume is missing.

Why each choice was made

  1. Why every growth number has a start point

    Managers have seen "+300% engagement" from a base of ten likes. Start, end and time span make the claim fair and give the interviewer something to ask about.

  2. Why paid and organic are separate bullets

    Many roles now own a Meta ads budget. Keeping spend and cost per result on their own line shows that skill without blurring it into organic reach.

  3. Why the community bullet has a response time

    Replying to comments and DMs is half the job and rarely shown. A response time and the queries passed to customer care make that work visible.
