Evergreen has no photo and a deep band of color across the top.
Why this example works
- Followers and engagement appear as before and after figures, with the method named.
- Cost per table booking on a ₹4.5 lakh monthly budget links social spend to real customers, which owners care about.
- Creator posts tagged as ads under the ASCI guidelines show the manager handles paid partnerships properly.
- Response time shows care for the community side of the job.
- Training restaurant managers shows the work reaches beyond one person.

Common questions
Are follower counts enough on a social media resume?
No. Pair them with engagement and a business result such as bookings or sales, and say how you reached them.
Can I list accounts I ran for a small business?
Yes. Give the size of the account, what you posted, the growth over a stated period and the measure you used.
How do I handle a crisis or a bad comment on a resume?
Mention your routine, such as response times and escalation, not the incident. Keep the focus on how you protect the brand.
Do creator collaborations belong on a social media resume?
Yes, as one bullet. Give how many creators you brief, what you measure and how paid posts are labeled as ads.
