- Upload your CV, cover letter and any portfolio links. Double‑check for spelling errors and correct contact details.

- Use the CAR (Context‑Action‑Result) format for project bullets on your CV.
- List only the digital tools you can actually use (e.g., Canva, Mailchimp, basic Google Analytics).
- Be ready to talk about your work in a phone or video interview. Prepare a short story for each example you include in your portfolio.
- If the employer asks for a quick task (e.g., a social‑media calendar), have a one‑page draft ready.
