This makes it look like you have only 1 month of experience. It's not a good look for you.

My question would be, what is your computer business and why are you looking for a job?
My bussiness is just starting. And I want to earn more money while I grow it

This resume is not going to get you any jobs. I don't know what resume styles are normal in your country. But you should probably focus on your skills vs accomplishments as bullet points. Downplay what you've current done because it's not helping. Get rid of the actual numbers, just put increased followers, or was able to get many leads... etc...

Edit:

I would like to rephrase this comment and provide more insight.

A resume is supposed to highlight your skills and achievements. It is supposed to include information about what you can do best, and how you can help the company.

In other words, someone reading your resume should find out 10 different reasons why you may be a suitable candidate for a job.

Posting on social media, and "working hard for one week", all in the span of a few months (2023) are not good reasons for hiring you. They do not show a high level of competence, just basic computer literacy.

If you really had a strategic role in the online marketing area, this needs to be explained in-depth on the resume. Explain how much did the company grow while you were in charge of this operation.

I am not saying this in bad faith, but I want you to understand what a business owner would think after looking at your resume:

"This has to be a joke."

And it doesn't have to be that way.

I would suggest investing some time in improving your education and building up a solid portfolio of projects, if you want to have a resume that is working in your favor.

Good luck.

This has to be a joke.

What do you mean your "experience" is posting on social media about onlyfans accounts?
@heavy_industry You think telling everyone you're a pimp doesn't look good from a professional standpoint?!?

Jokes aside, you're on an entrepreneurship forum. You have an accounting degree. That's a very valuable skill I'm sure you can use to add value with.

You can do a lot more.

The internet is your best friend. Go ahead and learn relevant skills and give yourself a world-class education on any topic you want.

Remove anything related to social media or other websites from your resume. This is not relevant experience, those are not good selling points.

Good luck.

Also, "after a week of hard work"? ONE WEEK???



Before writing a resume you must learn some actual skills, other than posting on Twitter
My tasks were not only to post on Twitter. I had to make outreach, increase the profile's followers and study other models to see how could I copy their strategies

What do you think are actual skills that I should develop?

If you wanna make some money to develop your business, why don't you just get a job? You have accounting bachelor degree.

Now you have both the truth and pretty words - at the same time.

Check out my first comment. I've edited it and explained in detail what the problem is, and how you can fix it.

Good luck.

Things I like:

- Focusing on achievements over tasks ("increased x by y")
- The general layout

Things I don't like:

- Your achievements are really, really bad. They aren't something I'd brag about. I've been in sales before and if I did 10 leads in 1 month I wouldn't have made it to month 2. You did a week of hard work and didn't get any clients - you received potential clients that you lost because you couldn't even sell them what they wanted to buy. That's terrible!
- Your layout for experience uses two different indent styles....
- Spelling errors ("loose")
- Complete lack of experience outside of two... well I don't know what they were but I'm not calling them jobs.

You'd honestly have a better chance pretending you had zero experience, ditch the "social media strategizer" claim, and write it as if you were a fresh grad with zero skills. List your interesting hobbies, list your strengths in general, and talk about how you're a hard worker with good communication skills who is hungry to prove himself within an entry level position in whatever field you're interested in. If you have volunteer experience, throw that in. If you have real world job experience (even McDonald's) throw that in. If you were ever voted "best" anything, throw that in. Honor student? Throw that in. You need to dig for shit that is actually worthy of being proud of.

All this resume tells me is you're bad at social media lead gen and don't run much of a computer business.

I'm not trying to be mean - that's just how this reads.
