What a recruiter checks first on a Social Media Manager resume

In marketing and content hiring, the first read is fast. These are the things that matter most:

• channel results with numbers — traffic, leads, CAC, ROAS, conversion
• tools and platforms from the posting (GA4, HubSpot, Ads platforms, SEO tools)
• proof of strategy and execution, with a link to a portfolio or published work

How to tailor your Social Media Manager CV in three steps

1. Mark the must-haves. Read the posting and highlight the tools, skills, and responsibilities it repeats or labels “required”.
2. Match them to your real experience. For each must-have, find the place in your history where you actually did it, and move that evidence to the top — using the posting’s wording where it is honest.
3. Cut what doesn’t help. Shorten or remove bullets that don’t support this particular job. Two strong, relevant lines beat six generic ones.

That’s exactly what renewed.cv automates: it extracts the requirements, rewrites your real experience around them, fact-checks the result against your original, and shows you a before/after match score.
