Bullet points are critical in making your resume compliant with employers keyword requirements. Bullet-points are also a key instrument in helping your profile standout. Here are some examples to think about.

Let's dive into the perspective of an experienced hiring manager and why the "achieved X by doing Y as measured by Z" format of a bullet point helps candidates get interviews.

1. Quantifiable Impact: Hiring managers want candidates who demonstrate their impact and contributions in previous roles. Using this format shows candidates have specific achievements they're proud of. For a hiring manager, seeing concrete numbers or percentages immediately conveys the scale and significance of your accomplishments.
2. Action-Oriented: The format emphasizes the actions taken by the candidate to achieve the stated results. It shows how you work, as well as initiative, problem-solving skills, and the ability to drive positive outcomes. Hiring managers want to see proactive individuals who can make things happen; they don't want someone who merely does what they're told.
3. Measurable Metrics: Including metrics or indicators (Z) provides a basis for evaluating performance and success. Hiring managers rely on data-driven decision-making, and having measurable metrics allows them to assess your performance objectively. It also demonstrates your ability to set goals, track progress, and deliver results in a measurable way.
4. Differentiation: Using this format helps candidates stand out from the competition. Most candidates don't use this format. Hiring managers are more likely to remember candidates who can showcase specific accomplishments that align with the needs of the role.
5. Impact on Business Goals: Hiring managers evaluate profiles based on how well candidates can articulate and contribute to achieving the company's goals and objectives.
