How to turn these into posts that convert
Post 3 times a week: one resume before/after, one myth bust (e.g. 'one page isn't a rule'), and one client testimonial as slideshow. Use a consistent color palette. Avoid corporate jargon; speak like a friend giving advice. Use trending sounds in captions only.
Timing: Post on weekday afternoons (2-4pm EST) when job seekers are actively looking or procrastinating.
