How do I cater my resume to a marketing/product marketing job if I have no experience?

I’m currently getting my MBA in marketing, but my undergraduate degree is in Accounting?

Include more buzz words/key words from the job posting in your resume to get your resume through the applicant tracking system and into the hands of a human.

OP - I’m looking to make a similar pivot. Do you mind if we connect?

No i don’t mind at all

I have a few former colleagues who were accountants and transitioned into a sales/marketing role. I believe it happens often enough.

Good day :) I hope everyone is doing well. I am requesting assistance from anyone in regards to a question that a Recruiter posed to me in a series of questions. This process is not that same that I am use to while working as a Recruiter Coordinator. Nevertheless I really want this job and I know that I can and will excel in the role. Yet can someone assist me one on one with one of the pre interview questions, to help me better understand? I greatly appreciate your feedback, time and support.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
