Content Writer Resume Example
An entry-level content writer about two years out of a journalism degree, writing SEO and email content for a B2B payroll software company.
A fictional resume written by our team. The person, employers and numbers are invented; the tools, licenses and schools are real.
Why it works
- 1
“B2B SaaS writer, 2 years in. 48 SEO posts took a blog from 6k to 22k organic sessions a month. Edits AI drafts line by line and checks every stat. Portfolio: remy-okonkwo.example.com”
Gives a traffic result and the portfolio link up front, and says how AI drafts get edited, a question hiring editors now ask.
- 2
“Wrote 48 SEO posts in 18 months, organic blog sessions grew from 6k to 22k a month”
Volume, time frame and the traffic result in one line, with the starting point included.
- 3
“Ranked #2 for 'multi-state payroll compliance' within 4 months, the post drove 140 demo requests in 2025”
Names the keyword and where it landed, then ties it to pipeline. 'Knows SEO' becomes something checkable.
- 4
“Interview 2 to 3 payroll experts a month and turn 1,800-word drafts in 3 days to the house style guide”
Shows working to a brief: subject-expert interviews, word counts, turnaround and a style guide.
- 5
“Wrote a 5-email onboarding sequence, trial-to-paid conversion rose from 11% to 14% in an A/B test”
Shows range beyond blog posts, and the A/B test makes the result credible.
How it scored
We ran this example through the same free roast you can use, three times, and kept the middle result. The roast ranks a resume against a typical applicant pile and grades hard: even a resume with a number in nearly every bullet usually lands in the B range.
Copy the text
Use it as a skeleton, then replace every line with your own work. A copied bullet with someone else's numbers is the fastest way to fail an interview question.
