Content Writer CV example

What to include in a content writer cv: relevant evidence, skills, sample achievement structures and template suggestions.

A useful starting point

Show pieces that performed, the audience, and the brief you can take. One or two pages plus URLs. Skip a witty bio with no clips. Skip this if you want an SEO specialist seat without technical work.

These examples illustrate structure, not a real applicant’s history. Replace every sample detail with your own evidence. Follow the employer’s instructions on qualifications, registration, document length and file format.

Evidence to consider

  • Live URLs
  • A traffic or conversion proof if you have it
  • CMS
  • Niche

Illustrative achievement bullets

  • Wrote 40 help articles; four rank page one and cut support tickets 12%
  • Produced a weekly newsletter for 9,000 subscribers with 38% open rate
  • Turned SME interviews into 8 long-form guides used in sales decks
  • Edited 15 freelancer drafts to a style guide I maintained

Relevant skills to substantiate

Long-form writing · Editing · SEO basics · CMS · Interviewing · Style guides

What to leave out

  • Photos unless asked
  • Unpublished “samples” you cannot show
  • Word-count as the only metric

Frequently asked questions

Portfolio or CV?

Both. The CV is the parseable file; the portfolio is the work.

Should I include a photo?

No for most UK in-house writing jobs.

How many clips?

Three to six live links beat twenty PDFs.
