Put a number in every bullet

Achievements rather than duties. Quantified bullets are worth 20 of the 100 points.

What to do

  1. Click the Experience tab.
  2. Pick a bullet that describes a duty.
  3. Rewrite it around what changed: a percentage, a dollar figure, a count, a timeframe.

A bullet starting with "responsible for" describes the job rather than you; anyone who held that title was responsible for the same things. What lands is what you did differently and what it produced.

Numbers are how a reader calibrates scale in a hurry — team size, budget, users, volume, the percentage you moved. Bullets carrying a figure are worth 20 of the 100 points on their own, which makes this the single biggest thing you control here.

This step in the walkthrough, in context.
