For marketing positions:
- Highlight your experience in public relations and advertising, whether from jobs or college clubs. Any marketing experience is critical for getting noticed by a hiring manager. Be sure to include detailed information about your experience with social media marketing.
- Specify any training (particularly advanced coursework) that is directly tied to marketing, advertising, and/or accounts management.

Generally speaking, marketing professionals are critical members of nonprofit and for-profit organizations. In addition to developing social media and advertising campaigns, marketing professionals need to know how to conduct market research, analyze data, and budget to avoid running out of funds. Marketing is a broad field, and jobs include brand management, market research, sales, advertising, or public relations.
