How to write an amazing bullet for your resume
Imagine you're a recruiter trying to fill a finance role. You've got five resumes in front of you. You skim the first bullet under each Experience section: โข Responsible for managing financial reports and budgets โข Responsible for managing financial reports and budgets โข Responsible for managing financial reports and budgets โข Streamlined monthly reporting process, cutting time by 30% and uncovering $500K in missed revenue โข Responsible for managing financial reports and budgets Which resume would you pick? No contest, right? Itโs the 4th bullet. This might sound extreme, but it isn't. This happens with nearly every job opening. Most candidates just list what they did, but they miss the critical part โ the results. If you're not showing how your actions led to impact, you're blending in with everyone else who has the same copy-paste language. Want to stand out and land interviews? Stop summarizing what you did. Instead, highlight your results. You must move the needle for your company, project, or group.
