Questions about this data
What skills do most Marketing job postings ask for?
Across 216 Marketing postings from the last 90 days, the most frequently named are AI (37%), Salesforce (14%), CRM (10%). Each percentage is the share of those postings naming the term at least once.
How common is Excel in Marketing postings?
Excel appears in 4% of the 216 Marketing postings counted — roughly 9 of them. That places it mid-pack rather than near-universal, which is worth knowing before you rewrite a résumé around it.
Where does this Marketing data come from?
Public job postings published by employers on their own career sites, collected through the official Greenhouse, Lever and Ashby job-board APIs. It is a count of 216 real postings seen in the last 90 days — not a survey, an estimate, or a model's guess.
Should I add these skills to my résumé?
Only the ones you genuinely have. Frequency tells you which terms to surface and phrase in the employer's own words if they are already true of you. Adding a skill you can't defend is the fastest way to fail an interview, so FreshStartr reports gaps rather than writing them in.
