- Copy the posting's wording. A recruiter who searches for "Creativity" or "Content calendar" looks for that exact term, not a looser label.
- Content calendar and TikTok turn up together in 52.9% of these postings, so one bullet can show both.
- Pick, don't pile. Listing all 19 terms from this page reads as padding; keep the ones you could talk through in an interview.
