Recruiters skim bullets for relevance and results. Write bullets that connect what you did to the outcome.
A simple formula
Action + scope + tools/method + result
Examples
- Reduced cycle time by 25% by simplifying the workflow and clarifying handoffs.
- Built a dashboard used weekly by leadership, improving decision turnaround.
- Improved conversion by 8% by simplifying the form steps and rewriting key content.
Make it job-specific
Once your bullets are clear, tailor the language to match the job description. Use the employer’s terminology where it’s accurate.
