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.
