FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Do I need to include a portfolio in my CV?

Yes, always. Add 3-5 links to your strongest pieces near the top of the CV or as a dedicated block. Without samples, recruiters can't gauge your level.

What if my work was under NDA?

Describe the niche, volumes and metrics without naming the brand: 'B2B fintech SaaS, blog of 60 pieces per month, +200% traffic in a year'. This is standard practice.

How important is English for this role?

For product or international companies, B2 or higher is a must. For the local market, list your real level honestly and don't oversell it.

How do I present freelance experience?

Group projects by niche or content type and attach numbers to each: traffic, conversion, volume. Freelancing is a strength when you can show outcomes.

Do I need SEO or Google Analytics certificates?

Certificates are a nice bonus but rarely decisive. A real case study with numbers will always beat a stack of diplomas without context.
