The impact bullet formula: turn duties into results
Verb, task, number, result. A simple pattern that makes any experience easier to understand and remember.
Recruiters spend seconds on a first scan. Bullets that start with "Responsible for…" tell them what you were supposed to do, not what you achieved.
The formula
Action verb + what you did + how much / how many + result.
- Before: "Responsible for customer emails."
- After: "Answered 60+ customer emails a day and cut average response time from 26 to 9 hours."
Questions that find your numbers
- How many? (people, customers, projects, sites)
- How much? (money, budget, savings, percentage)
- How often? (per day, week, month)
- What changed because of your work?
Strong verbs
Led, built, cut, grew, launched, organised, negotiated, improved, trained, designed.
