What you get
How it works
How many bullet points per job on a resume
Taper them. Your current or most recent role carries four to six resume bullet points, the one before it three or four, and anything beyond about ten years ago often needs only a line or two.
The taper is what signals seniority. A page where every role has five bullets reads as undifferentiated, because it tells a reader that the job you left in 2014 mattered as much as the one you are in now.
The formula: verb, scope, outcome
A bullet that works has three parts in one line and a half. A plain action verb, the scope you operated at, and what changed because of it.
Weak: Responsible for managing the daily stock counts.
Strong: Ran daily stock counts across two aisles and rebuilt the count sheet, which cut the recount rate.
Finding numbers in a job that never reported any
Most people believe their work was not measurable. Usually it was, just not formally. Useful numbers hide in ordinary places:
- Volume: how many per day, week or shift.
- People: team size, headcount supported, students, patients, accounts.
- Time: how long something took before you changed it.
- Frequency: how often something went wrong, and how often it does now.
- Range: number of sites, systems, suppliers or product lines you covered.
Do not invent the number
A generated or guessed metric is a liability rather than an improvement. It reads well until an interviewer asks how you calculated it, and that conversation is worse than having no number at all.
Where you genuinely do not have a figure, describe the consequence instead. Cut the recount rate is checkable in conversation. Cut the recount rate by 34% is not, unless you measured it.
Vary the opening word
Six bullets that all begin Managed read as one bullet repeated six times, and the eye stops registering them by the third.
If you have leaned on one verb repeatedly, some of those were probably a different action described lazily. Our action verbs guide sorts alternatives by what you actually did rather than alphabetically.
Common questions
Kazifi frames scope and ownership clearly, and never makes up a figure you did not give it.
Yes. You choose the tone, and every rewrite stays true to your facts.
Four to six for your current role, three to four for the one before, and one or two for anything beyond about ten years ago. Taper them.
About a line and a half. If it runs to three lines it is usually two bullets that have been joined together.
Describe the consequence instead. Cut the recount rate is checkable in conversation, and better than a percentage you never measured.
A plain action verb: ran, built, cut, rewrote. Avoid Responsible for, Helped with and Worked on, which describe the job rather than what you did.
