⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Being too generic—don't just list responsibilities; show specific results and how you drive growth.
  • Ignoring the 'earned-first' focus—this role isn't about paid media; emphasize PR, media relations, and organic reach.
  • Failing to mention healthcare experience—this is a health comms agency; even if you have transferable skills, explicitly connect them to health.
