- Bad: Responsible for managing team and product launches
Pro Tips
- Quantify everything — percentages, dollar amounts, team sizes, timeframes
- Start with action verbs — Led, Developed, Improved, not "Was responsible for"
- Show impact, not duties — "Increased sales 30%" beats "Managed sales department"

Build my resume — $6.99Frequently Asked Questions
How do I describe my work experience on a resume?
Focus on achievements rather than duties. Use strong action verbs (Led, Developed, Improved), include quantifiable metrics (percentages, dollar amounts, team sizes), and tailor each bullet to the job you're applying for. The formula is: Action Verb + What You Did + Quantified Result.
How many bullet points per job on a resume?
Use 3-6 bullet points for your most recent and relevant positions, and 2-3 for older roles. Quality matters more than quantity — each bullet should demonstrate a specific achievement or impact, not just list daily responsibilities.
Should I include metrics in my work experience?
Absolutely. Recruiters spend an average of 7 seconds scanning a resume. Numbers and percentages immediately stand out. Even estimates are better than no numbers — 'Improved efficiency by approximately 20%' is stronger than 'Improved efficiency.'
What action verbs should I use for work experience?
Use strong, specific action verbs: Led, Developed, Implemented, Optimized, Achieved, Generated, Streamlined, Orchestrated, Spearheaded, Delivered. Avoid weak verbs like 'helped', 'assisted', or 'was responsible for.' Each bullet should start with a power verb that shows ownership.
How do I write work experience with no achievements?
Every job has achievements — you just need to reframe them. Did you train anyone? That's mentorship. Did you consistently meet deadlines? That's reliability you can quantify. Did you handle customer issues? Count how many per day/week. Think about problems you solved, processes you improved, or skills you developed.
