Example content writer resume bullets

  • Wrote 120 SEO articles that now bring 90,000 organic visits per month
  • Rewrote product pages and raised conversion by 17%
  • Edited a weekly newsletter for 45,000 subscribers with a 48% open rate

Where to put keywords

  • Summary: your job title in the posting's words plus your two strongest matching skills.
  • Skills section: tools and hard skills, spelled the way the posting spells them.
  • Experience bullets: each important skill used in a sentence with a result. A skill that appears only in a list is weak evidence.
