Step two: Use the following Guide to Crafting Resume Bullet Points

Select an Action Verb:

Start each bullet point with a strong verb to clearly communicate your role in the action.

Use the present tense for ongoing roles and past tense for completed ones.

Examples: "Designed", "Managed", "Improved".

Specify a Hard Skill:

Include a particular skill or technology you used in the task.

This shows your capability and expertise in practical applications.

Examples: "using Java programming", "with advanced Excel features".

Describe the Project or Task:

Briefly outline the specific task or project you were involved in.

This sets the scene for your contribution.

Example: "to overhaul the client database system".

Add an Impact Statement:

Include a phrase that frames the context of your contribution, like what you improved or achieved.

This helps to show the purpose or goal of your actions.

Examples: "enhancing operational efficiency", "streamlining communication".

Quantify with an Impact Metric:

Use numbers, percentages, or specific outcomes to quantify your impact.

This provides tangible proof of your effectiveness.

Examples: "resulting in a 30% increase in efficiency", "cutting down costs by $10K annually".

Highlight a Soft Skill:

Conclude with a soft skill that was either demonstrated or developed through your experience.

This shows your personal growth and adaptability.

Examples: "demonstrating strong interpersonal communication", "enhancing team collaboration".
