Common ATS pitfalls for marketing manager resumes
Marketing manager resumes lose to mid-career applicants when they describe channels ("managed paid social") without numbers ("$3.2M annual budget, lowered CAC 35%"). Add the budget on every channel-ownership bullet. Add the metric on every program-ownership bullet. ATS scoring weights numeric content highly because it's a credibility signal.
