## Missing & Underused Keywords

|---|---|---|---|

| Marketing automation | Hard skill | High | Summary + campaign bullet |
| Demand generation | Hard skill | High | Summary (if applicable) |
| Salesforce | Tool | High | Skills section (only if used/learning) |

## Final Tips

1. **Use a single-column layout** with standard section headers ("Experience," "Skills," "Education"). Tables, text boxes, and graphics often break ATS parsing.
2. **Mirror the job title** where honest — consider retitling your summary line to "Digital Marketing Specialist" to bridge to "Senior Digital Marketing Manager." Avoid claiming "Senior" if not earned.
3. **Add a dedicated Skills section** listing tools verbatim (e.g., "Mailchimp, Google Analytics, HubSpot [in progress]") so the ATS can exact-match — but never list software you can't discuss in an interview.

# ATS Match Score

**58/100** — You have foundational digital marketing skills but lack SaaS-specific expertise, marketing automation depth, and leadership experience that the Senior role demands.

3. **ATS Formatting Warning:** Use standard section headers (Professional Summary, Experience, Skills, Certifications). Avoid graphics, columns, or special characters; stick to .docx or .pdf (ATS-safe format). Include role title and company name at the top of each bullet for clarity.

### ATS Match Score

**Estimated Match Score: 35%**
Your resume lacks several high-priority keywords and the specific B2B SaaS toolset (HubSpot, Salesforce) required for the senior manager role, resulting in a low initial match.

Here are examples of how to integrate high-priority keywords into your existing experience.

*   **Before:** Grew newsletter list by 40%.

### Final Tips

1.  **Use standard section headers.** Stick to common titles like "Professional Experience," "Education," and "Skills" to ensure the ATS parses your resume correctly.
2.  **Avoid graphics and columns.** Many ATS systems cannot read text within images, tables, or multi-column layouts. A single-column, text-only format is safest.
3.  **Include both acronyms and full phrases.** To match more system queries, write out terms fully before adding the acronym, such as "Search Engine Optimization (SEO)."
