A content writer resume that treats writing as a growth channel: published samples, the content you specialise in, and the traffic and sign-ups it earned.
Editors hire writers on their samples. Add a portfolio link in your header with 5-8 of your best published pieces, grouped by type or industry, and choose the samples closest to the job you're applying for.
If your work was published without a byline, you can still use it - list the URLs and note your role, or save the articles as PDFs in a shared folder.
Companies increasingly hire writers to grow traffic and leads, so show what your writing produced: rankings, organic traffic, sign-ups, open rates or views. One measured result per role is enough to set you apart.
Your resume is also a writing sample. Keep sentences tight, cut filler words and proofread twice - a typo on a content writer's resume is hard to forgive.
Start a blog or newsletter on a topic you know, write 3-5 sample articles for brands you'd like to work with, and take on small freelance projects. Those samples become your experience.
