How should I be formatting my resume?
I understand I should have tangible metrics to demonstrate impact, but do I list responsibilities and skills (ex wrote social copy) that is kind of hard to quantify impact, and a section that shows standout examples of campaigns and keys wins where that impact is clearly demonstrated?

Metrics where possible, actions for others. As in developed/built/led/etc. The rest depends on the role you’re applying for. I also always make sure resumes put low cognitive load on the reader. If something needs interpretation, I do it for them.

Hello all, for those working in an agency. I wanted to see what your typical client workload is? I’ve been in my role for about a year but the workload has changed dramatically without hiring help.

Can you please share:
- the number of accounts you manage
- how many support staff you have on those accounts
- how many active pitches you send per month for those clients on average

Thanks all!
