Common Customer Success Manager resume mistakes

  • No mention of churn rate or net retention for the book of business owned, the first metric hiring managers scan for in this role.

  • Describing activities ("kept in touch with customers") without the outcome: renewals saved, upsell generated, adoption increased.

  • Omitting portfolio size (account count, ARR owned), essential for judging seniority.

  • Confusing Customer Success with technical support; the resume should show strategic proactivity, not just ticket resolution.
