Questions
What should a marketing CV include?
A marketing CV needs your contact details, experience and education, and usually profile, skills and portfolio and selected work. Lead with what employers in this field check first, back it up with specific examples, and add anything the advert asks for by name. Show campaign results: reach, conversion, CAC, ROAS, follower growth. The CV Atlas readiness check flags anything this field expects that your CV is missing.
What order should the sections of a marketing CV be in?
Use this order for a marketing CV: Profile, Experience, Education, Skills and Portfolio & selected work. Put the most important evidence for this field near the top, and list entries within each section with the most recent first. Contact details and your name always come first, in the header. Some countries change the order, for example Japan lists history oldest first, and CV Atlas applies that automatically.
How long should a marketing CV be?
It depends on the country more than the job. A marketing CV in the United States should be 1–2 pages; in the United Kingdom, 2 pages; in Australia, 2–4 pages. Keep recent roles detailed and older ones brief, so your strongest evidence sits on the first page. Pick your target country in CV Atlas and it applies the local length and paper size.
How do I make a marketing CV stand out?
Link a portfolio or selected work. List tools (GA4, Google Ads, Meta Ads, HubSpot, SEO tools). Be specific: name the systems, settings and results, start each bullet with a verb, and keep it to one line where you can. Employers in this field look for measurable achievements, so use numbers. Link your portfolio near your name: employers in this field often look at it before the CV.
