I’ve been applying for a while now and wasn’t getting many responses, so I decided to really dig into what might be wrong with my resume.

After comparing mine with others and getting some feedback, I realized I was making one big mistake:

I was writing responsibilities instead of results.

For example, I originally had:

• “Responsible for managing social media accounts and creating content”

But I’ve started rewriting my bullets like this:

• “Managed social media accounts, increasing engagement by 35% in 3 months through targeted content strategy”

What I changed

I’m now using this format for each bullet:
Action + Task + Result

Even when I don’t have exact numbers, I try to show impact like:

• Improved efficiency
• Reduced turnaround time
• Supported X number of clients
• Collaborated with X team

What I’m noticing so far

It feels stronger, but I’m not sure if I’m doing it right yet.

Would really appreciate if someone could:

• Review one or two of my bullet points
• Share what actually made a difference for you

Also happy to share what I’ve learned so far if anyone else is in the same situation.
