What should a writer resume include?

Editors and content heads hiring writers in India want to see niche, format range and evidence that the writing performed. A strong writer resume lists beats or subject areas, content types such as long-form, scripts or UX copy, the tools used for SEO and publishing, and outcomes like traffic, rankings or engagement, with a portfolio link that backs every claim.

Skills recruiters look for:

  • SEO content writing
  • Research and fact-checking
  • Editing and proofreading
  • Long-form and pillar content
  • Copywriting and CTAs

From our sample resumes:

  • Aravindan’s 22 percent drop in how-to tickets connects documentation to a business result, which is the argument hiring managers need to justify a senior writer role.
  • Ishita’s two destination guides reaching page one prove her SEO knowledge in practice, making the tool list in her skills section believable.
