The bullet formulas this tool uses
Verb + what + how + result: “Built a weekly sales dashboard using Tableau and SQL, cut manual reporting time by 40%.” Result first (the “accomplished X, measured by Y, by doing Z” idea): “Cut manual reporting time by 40%: built a weekly sales dashboard with Tableau and SQL.” Verb + what + “which” + result: “Built a weekly sales dashboard in Tableau and SQL, which cut manual reporting time by 40%.”
What makes a strong resume bullet
It starts with a past-tense action verb, not “responsible for”. It says what you did and with which tool. It ends with a result, and the result has a number. It fits in one or two lines, 15 to 30 words. Use present tense only for a job you still hold.
No number? Here's where to look
Count people (served, trained, led), volume (orders, tickets, rows, posts), frequency (per shift, per week), money (budget, sales, savings), time (hours saved, days faster) and size (users, pages, accounts). An honest estimate is fine. Don't invent a figure you couldn't explain in an interview.
Frequently asked questions
How do I write a good resume bullet point?
Start with an action verb, say what you did and what you used, and end with a result and a number: “Reduced X by 30% by doing Y using Z.”
Does this generator use AI?
No. It fills proven bullet formulas with the words you type, so every bullet is built from your own details. Always review the wording before you use it.
How many bullet points should each job have?
Three to five for your most recent or relevant role, two or three for older or shorter ones. Put the strongest bullet first.
What if I don't have a number for my result?
Use an honest estimate (about 20 customers per shift), or describe the scale: team size, number of users, how often. If it truly has no number, keep the bullet short and specific.
Should resume bullets be in past tense?
Yes for jobs you've finished. Use present tense for your current job. Keep the tense the same within each role.
