FAQ

Q: How do I claim credit for campaigns where I was one contributor?

Be specific about YOUR role: "I developed the messaging strategy and managed the paid media execution for the campaign that generated..." Use "I led," "I developed," "I managed" for your specific contributions.

Q: What if my campaigns didn't hit goals?

Document the learning: "While the campaign fell short of lead goals (70% achievement), the insights gathered about audience preferences informed our Q4 strategy that exceeded targets by 140%."

Q: How do I quantify brand work?

Use available metrics: brand lift studies, share of voice, social engagement, NPS changes, employee survey data, or qualitative feedback. Even directional data is better than none.

Q: How many accomplishments should I include?

8-12 total, covering 3-4 different competency areas. Depth over breadth—a few well-documented wins are better than a long list of vague statements.
