Resume bullet points

One bullet per line. Bullet symbols at the start are ignored.

A strong bullet usually follows this pattern: action verb, what you did, how you did it, and a measurable result. Each bullet scores one point for a strong opening verb, a number or result, a length of roughly 12 to 30 words, no first person and active voice.

Questions

What makes a strong resume bullet point?

It starts with an action verb, says what you did and how, and ends with a result, ideally a number such as money saved, time cut or people served.

What if I do not have exact numbers?

Use honest estimates such as about 50 customers a week, or describe scale, frequency or before and after. Be ready to explain any figure in an interview.

Should resume bullets use I or my?

Usually not. Resume bullets are normally written without the first person, starting straight with the verb.
