Social Media Manager Resume

By Jamie Thork, Monster contributor

Are you a social media maven? Spin that experience into a powerful resume that will connect you to great jobs. For writing tips, view our social media manager resume below.

Instead of starting out with the traditional social media manager resume objective, go with something more modern: a qualifications summary (also called a career summary)—a few sentences that tell the reader what makes you so awesome at what you do. After all, hiring managers are well aware that your objective is to find a job. It's more important to let them know what drives you to be successful.

Whether you're experienced in the field or you're looking for an entry-level social media manager resume, the template below can show you how to organize your skills, experience, and education in a crisp and targeted way.
