Template

Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.

A made-up resume. The person, the employers and every number are invented, and any resemblance to a real one is chance.

Why this example works

  • About 30 pieces a month for six clients show output and range.
  • A rise in email click rate from 2.1% to 3.4% and a split-tested conversion gain from 2.5% to 2.8% tie writing to money, not praise.
  • Tone of voice guides for three clients and briefs to two freelancers show a writer who works in a team.
  • The content writer years, with 120 posts and a 35% rise in organic visits, show volume and search experience.

How to write your own copywriter resume

  1. State your monthly output and the number of clients, so the reader sees your pace and range.
  2. Give a result with the test that proved it, such as a subject line test that lifted the email click rate.
  3. Mention tone of voice work and how many clients use it, since it shows you write inside a brand.
  4. Show how you brief and edit others, including how fast you return feedback.
  5. Include client presentations, and say that you explain the reason behind each option.
  6. Add a short list of sample links with a line on the goal and result of each.

Skills worth including

Process

Briefing writers, Editing, A/B testing, Client presentations

Only list what is true for you. A skill you cannot talk about in an interview does not help.

Common questions

Which samples should I link first?

Three to five pieces, each with a line on the goal and the result. A short list that shows range is stronger than a folder the reader has to search.

Can I give results from client work?

Yes, as a result with the type of piece, but link only work you may share. If a client's agreement limits what you can say, describe the work by type and keep names out.

Should my samples cover more than one industry?

Name the sectors, not the brands, and show one result in each. Retail and travel, with a result for each, show range more clearly than a list of logos.

Do I need a degree in English or communications?

It helps for some agencies. List it, then lead with your results, since a portfolio and numbers are the stronger evidence.
