⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a portfolio that lacks CPG or food content—this role specifically requires experience in that area, so generic content won't cut it.
  • Focusing only on high-production value and ignoring the need for speed and social-native execution; AntiSocial values quick, quality content that performs.
  • Not demonstrating an understanding of social platforms—avoid talking about content in general terms without referencing specific platforms and their nuances.
