Here’s what recruiters at some of the biggest companies actually look for!🤔 We recently hosted Dhun Jain (@dhunjain_), Enterprise Key Accounts Manager at District (@districtupdates) for a masterclass and had her play a quick red-flag vs green-flag round on marketing resumes. She broke down what makes a resume stand out, and what gets it rejected in seconds! Beyond the resume round, Dhun walked us through her journey - from @schbang to @zomato, and now to @districtupdates, where she leads marketing across both users and restaurants. She also shared what it really takes to manage enterprise accounts, how to turn objections into insights, and why great partnerships are built on listening before pitching! A huge thank you to Dhun for sharing her expertise with our learners! We’re sure they’ll apply these insights as they make their way through the industry 🙌 [IIDE, Marketing Careers, Marketing Resume, Resume Tips, Marketing Advice, Digital Marketing] #IIDE #ResumeTips #Marketing #DigitalMarketing #CareerAdvice

Strategy summary
What's working, what to fix, and what to ship next.
TL;DR
Post 6 is the clearest proof of concept on this account, pulling 1,006 likes and 802 comments on an AI program reel with a comment-trigger CTA, which is more than 5x the account average. That single data point confirms the comment-CTA mechanic combined with an AI topic is the strongest conversion lever available, yet it has only been deployed a handful of times in the last 30 posts. The account's second-best performers are concrete outcome stories: post 4 (583 likes), post 2 (350 likes), and post 1 (298 likes) all lead with a specific person or problem before mentioning IIDE.
The biggest leak is posting cadence. At 2.2 posts per week, the account is well below the 4-per-week benchmark for edtech brands competing in this space, and the gap compounds because the content mix already works. Alumni compilation reels like posts 7 and 26 are near-identical in structure and caption yet sit at only 128 and 281 likes, suggesting format fatigue is creeping in when the same template repeats without a fresh angle.
The fix is straightforward: increase cadence to 4 posts per week, rotate comment-CTA reels more aggressively on the AI and PG pillars, and retire the generic alumni compilation format until a distinct narrative hook refreshes it.
Working
4- Comment-trigger CTAs on AI program reels drive outsized comment volume, as seen in post 6 with 802 comments.
- Named student transformation stories with a before-and-after structure consistently outperform generic brand posts.
- Agency visit reels create a proof-of-access angle that differentiates IIDE from typical online course competitors.
- Outcome-specific hooks like percentage growth or company names in the caption (post 20, post 12) lift engagement measurably.
Risks
4- Posting cadence is 2.2 per week, well below the 4-per-week benchmark; the content mix is strong enough to support more volume.
- Alumni compilation reels (posts 7 and 26) reuse the same caption almost verbatim, creating format fatigue with diminishing returns.
- AI news-hook reels like post 15 (53 likes) underperform when they lead with the tool rather than the student or the problem it solves.
- Carousel posts are underused at roughly 10 percent of the feed despite post 28 showing strong comment engagement for event storytelling.
Ship next
5- Run the comment-CTA AI reel format at least once per week, cycling between PCAIS and other AI program variants to sustain the volume seen in post 6.
- Retire the generic 'where are you working now' alumni compilation until you add a specific industry angle or unexpected placement that creates a fresh hook.
- Increase posting to 4 per week by adding one AI news-to-program reel and one agency visit or masterclass recap every week.
- Test a carousel version of a student transformation story to see if the swipe format lifts saves and shares beyond what reels currently deliver.
- Add a specific outcome number (revenue, growth percentage, or company name) to every student story caption within the first two sentences.
