How to Write a Digital Marketing Resume: From Basics to Advanced

Another day another rejection letter…What’s wrong with my Digital Marketing Resume?

Yogesh and Bhargav both applied for the same job but why did Yogesh got an interview call and the other didn’t. (I know, sorry for the cliched names)

When I was new to the Digital Marketing industry, I also had no clue why many of my friends got a call from big brands even though we were applying together for that position (although I smiled and said never mind, but that does hurt).

It wasn’t too late when I realized I didn’t lack the capability but it was my resume which didn’t attract the recruiter. I missed out the basics of how to write a digital marketing resume and it wasn’t perfect or even near perfect.
