Common Communications Director Resume Mistakes

Do

Keep it simple — there is no need for your communications director resume to be creative. Clear and concise is all that is required.

Ensure your resume is spaced out well, uses a single column, and is easy to scan in under 10 seconds.

×Don't

Write a communications director resume that is more than two pages long. Recruiters simply don't have the time to read pages and pages.

Use tables, graphs, or images on your resume — ATS parsers mangle them. Text only is fine.

  • Using generic summaries that could apply to any candidate
  • Missing ATS keywords from the target JD
  • Listing duties instead of measurable achievements
  • Using outdated, multi-column resume formats that parsers mangle
  • Including irrelevant experience that dilutes the story

Frequently Asked Questions

How long should a communications director resume be?

Most communications directors should use a one-page resume early in their career and a two-page resume if they have extensive, distinct experience to show.

What is the best format for a communications director resume?

Reverse-chronological format remains the preferred format for most communications director positions because it surfaces recency and progression first.

Are communications director resumes screened by ATS?

Yes. The majority of employers use ATS software before resumes reach a hiring manager — keywords and a parser-friendly layout matter.
