Questions
What numbers should I put on a social media resume?
The ones clients ask about: followers, reach, engagement, messages or leads. Give a before and after with a time, like 1,200 to 4,800 followers in 8 months. One true number reads better than five round ones.
How do I show my work?
Link 2 or 3 accounts you've run, or a folder of posts and Reels you've made. If an account is private or gone, use screenshots with the dates. One of our real estate listings asked for a portfolio of property content with the application.
Is a social media VA resume different from a manager's?
A little. A VA resume leads with the work you ran: posting, replies and reports. A manager resume also shows what you decided to post and why, with the results. Change your title and summary to match the listing.
Do I need design or video skills?
Often, yes. 7 of our 16 social media listings named Canva, CapCut or Photoshop, so list the ones you've used under Tools.
Should I send it as a PDF or a Word file?
PDF, unless the listing asks for Word. Link your posts instead of pasting images in, so the file stays small. Our apply form takes PDF, DOC or DOCX files up to 10 MB.
