Resume Roast for Copywriters

Copywriter resumes are the one place where the writing is being judged before the interview starts, and most read like they were assembled by committee. The reviewer checks the portfolio link first, then scans for what your copy sold: conversion lifts, campaigns shipped, brands served. Wordsmith with a passion for storytelling is the exact sentence a working copywriter would never write. Be specific and be brief.

What Gabe checks first on a Copywriter resume

Portfolio link near the top, three to five best pieces, each labeled with what it achieved. A portfolio without results is a scrapbook.
Attach numbers to the words, like landing page rewrite that lifted conversion 24 percent or subject lines beating control in 7 of 9 tests.
Name formats and industries you have shipped in: email, landing pages, paid social, long-form. Range is fine, but proof per format is better.

Worth knowing

Most ATS software ranks and filters resumes for humans to read. It does not silently reject them. (how applicant tracking systems actually work)
