Write Bullet Points That Actually Get Interviews

Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds on an initial resume scan. Every bullet point needs to earn its place by showing impact, not activity.

Use the formula: Action verb + task + measurable result. Instead of "Responsible for social media", write "Grew Instagram engagement 140% in 6 months through a content calendar and A/B tested posting schedule".

Quantify wherever possible: percentages, dollar amounts, team sizes, time saved. Numbers create anchors that stick in a reviewer's memory during shortlist discussions.

Tailor bullets to the role you are applying for. Keep a master resume with every achievement, then copy the most relevant 4–5 bullets per application. Resume Studio makes this easy on the free plan — upgrade to Pro when you need separate versions saved.
