Resume TipMarch 21, 20263 min read
Use the Impact Formula on Every Bullet
Action + What you did + Result. Repeat.
Every bullet should hit three beats: what you did, how you did it, and what it produced.
Do this today
- Action verb (Led, Shipped, Reduced, Designed)
- Object + method ("a 3-engineer team rebuild of the billing service")
- Outcome with a metric ("cutting checkout drop-off by 21%")
- Optional: business context ("unlocking $1.4M ARR")
If your bullet doesn't end on impact, it ends in the trash.
