Go beyond daily duties

Explain what you owned, who it affected, what method you used and what changed because of the work.

Add measurable context

Metrics can include time, scale, efficiency, accuracy, users, collaborators, output and error reduction.

Reorder for each role

The same experience can emphasize different keywords and outcomes for different job descriptions.

FAQ

Common questions

What if I do not have metrics?

Use scope, timeline, audience, tools, process, collaboration and feedback without inventing numbers.

How many bullets should each role have?

Usually 3-5 strong bullets are better than a long list of daily tasks.
