Social media manager resume: let your agent write it from your numbers
Hiring managers skim social resumes for one thing: proof that your posts moved a number. This prompt has your agent read the job ad, pull your best growth, engagement and campaign results, and write a one-page, ATS-friendly resume in Word with the platforms and tools the brand uses.
The prompt
- Write a one-page social media manager resume for this job: [JOB POSTING LINK]. My name and contact: [NAME, CITY, EMAIL, PORTFOLIO OR LINKEDIN]. My experience: [PASTE YOUR JOBS, DATES, BRANDS AND ACCOUNTS YOU RAN]. My best results: [FOLLOWER GROWTH, ENGAGEMENT RATE, REACH, PAID ROAS OR SALES FROM SOCIAL]. Use the platforms and tools named in the posting, write every bullet as a result with a number, keep it ATS-friendly (single column, no icons), and send me a Word file plus a short list of the keywords you used.
What to change
- [JOB POSTING LINK]: The link to the job ad. Your agent opens it and reads which platforms and tools they want.
- [NAME, CITY, EMAIL, PORTFOLIO OR LINKEDIN]: One line, e.g. "Lena Ortiz, Austin TX, lena@email.com, lenaortiz.com". A portfolio link matters a lot for this role.
- [PASTE YOUR JOBS, DATES, BRANDS AND ACCOUNTS YOU RAN]: Paste your old resume or rough notes: brand, dates, which accounts (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn…) you managed. You can attach the file instead.
- [FOLLOWER GROWTH, ENGAGEMENT RATE, REACH, PAID ROAS OR SALES FROM SOCIAL]: Any numbers you have: "Instagram 12k to 48k in 14 months", "4.8% average engagement", "$90k in tracked sales from TikTok". Ranges are fine.

How to do it with todo.is
- Copy the prompt and fill in every [bracket], especially your best results.
- Paste it on the Today screen in todo.is, or send it to your agent on WhatsApp or Telegram.
- Attach your old resume or a screenshot of your analytics if that is easier than typing numbers.
- Download the Word file and ask for edits like "add my LinkedIn B2B work" or "shorten the summary".
Tips for a better result
- Lead with the platform the brand cares about most. A TikTok-first brand wants TikTok numbers in bullet one.
- Engagement rate beats follower count. Say how you calculate it (per post or per reach) if asked in the interview.
- Put the portfolio link in the header, not at the bottom. Recruiters for social roles click it before reading.
- Name the scheduling and analytics tools you really used (Sprout Social, Hootsuite, Later, Buffer) so ATS filters match them.
- Ask your agent to also write the matching cover letter in the same to-do.
social media manager resume: FAQ
- What should a social media manager resume include? A short summary, results-based bullets with growth and engagement numbers, the platforms and tools you used, and a link to your portfolio or best accounts.
- How do I show social media results without exact numbers? Use honest ranges or relative change, like "roughly tripled reach" or "engagement up about 2x". Check your platform analytics history first; most keep at least a few months.
- Should I list every social platform? No. List the ones you managed with real results and the ones in the job posting. A long list of platforms with no results looks thin.
- Can the agent read my portfolio site? Yes. Add the link and your agent opens it in its browser to pick out campaigns and results worth mentioning.
