The following is an example of a resume for a position in marketing, with an emphasis on

business writing and editing. If you are a marketing professional, your resume needs to “sell”
your expertise and track record to potential employers, just like any other piece of sales
marketing material.

This sample resume begins with a summary that emphasizes the job seeker’s skills and
successes, using numbers to quantitatively demonstrate achievement.

While this sample resume has all the basic sections such as education, employment, and
technical skills, you should view the summary overview section as your opportunity to
underscore what is unique about your background and skills that set you apart from the
competition.
