FAQ

Common questions about this CV

Should I list Google Ads and Meta Blueprint certifications?

Yes, they're a quick credibility signal for recruiters. Just don't lean on them in place of real results, keep them in a separate section after your experience.

What if I worked under NDA and can't name clients?

Describe the industry and scale instead, like 'B2C e-commerce brand, $40k monthly spend'. Numbers and outcomes matter more than logos, and recruiters know this.

How many bullets per role should I include?

Aim for 4-6 result-driven bullets per job. If you ran many accounts at an agency, pick the 3-4 strongest where you were the main owner.

Should I link a portfolio or dashboard screenshots?

If you have a case study deck or a Notion page with examples, definitely link it. Avoid pasting screenshots directly into the CV; a clean link is enough.

How do I show experience if I'm transitioning from SMM into PPC?

Surface anything that involved paid spend: boosting posts, running Meta Ads, managing budgets. Add courses and personal projects where you ran ads with your own money.
