Create Effective Bullet Points That Highlight Your Skills {Resume Help}

Simply stating tasks that were done, is not nearly as powerful as showing the result of the actions preformed. Employers like to see that you get results making you a valuable asset to their company. Whenever possible don't just say you did something, show the outcome of it.

Example: Britney wants to showcase her teamwork and communication skills acquired from Soccer.
  • Used communication skills to build strong relationships with team members resulting in winning championships against top performing schools

Relevant Experience

  • Insert what you did, how you did it, and the outcome

  • What “Established long-term relationships with clients…”

  • How “… by following through on commitments…”

  • Outcome… “which resulted in a 32% average increase in personal sales for three consecutive quarters”

  • Use Formula- POWERFUL ACTION VERB + JOB TASK(S) = RESULT

  • Quantitative Data (data that includes numbers) is useful to add


Relevant Experience

  • (What was the problem? What was your solution? What results were a consequence of your actions? Did the result correspond with an increase in sales, productivity, efficiency, or any other achievement?)

  • (Did you establish any new systems or changes?)

  • (Did you help to establish new goals or objectives for your company?)

  • (Did you undertake a project that was not part of your original responsibility because you wanted to solve the problem?)

  • (Did you improve any particular aspect of your job, your department or your employer?)
