Choose the communication work you can explain
A useful communication example explains the audience, the problem and the choices you made. Show how you shaped the message, involved the right people and checked whether the work achieved its purpose. For engagement roles, explain how feedback influenced a decision or changed the approach.
For social media work, explain how you adapted content for its audience and used feedback or results to improve later activity. For regulatory or health information, show how you checked accuracy and made complex material understandable. Senior communication roles need a clear account of the advice, priorities and people you were responsible for. Keep each example tied to the role’s actual application questions.

Turn campaign duties into an example the panel can assess
“I supported marketing campaigns” gives a panel very little to assess. An example becomes useful when you explain the objective and what you personally did to help reach it. For a campaign-coordination application, you might describe how a delayed creative approval threatened the launch, how you reorganised the remaining work with the agency and what happened by the revised deadline. Use an outcome you can verify; a delivery result can be useful even when you do not have access to revenue or conversion data.
Choose the detail according to the role. For communications work, show how you understood the audience, worked through approvals and gave clear advice. For digital marketing, explain the campaign objective, content decisions and results you can verify. Engagement roles need evidence of how you planned participation, listened to stakeholders and used what you learned. Match those examples to the questions and submission instructions in the vacancy.
