Find the repeated work
Mark the responsibilities that appear more than once in the listing. Those repetitions usually reveal what the team needs someone to do every week.
Reorder before you rewrite
Move the most relevant project or experience higher before changing every bullet. Recruiters should meet the strongest evidence in the first half of the page.
- Keep the role title and dates easy to scan.
- Lead bullets with the decision or action you owned.
- Use exact tools only when you genuinely used them.
Keep it defensible
