1. How To Write Your Professional
Experience on Your Resume
Resume Companion’s Free
Resume Tips

2. Make Your First Bullet Point Count
• Employers tend to be busy people, make your
first bullet point STAND OUT
• Try not to use a general responsibility as your
first bullet point, think ACHIEVEMENTS more
than RESPONSIBILITES
• You may even consider describing the
company in italics before your bullet points

3. Numbers Speak Louder Than Words
• Consider using numbers to quantify your
achievements, think:
• Figures: “Managed 45 staff”
• Dollars: “Increased revenue by $1.5 million
year-on-year”
• Percentages: “Spearheaded marketing
campaign increasing conversion by over 6%
within 3 months”

4. Don’t Repeat Yourself
• You may be proud of your experiences but be
careful not to write duplicate bullet points
• Even points that may not seem similar to read
could overlap in responsibilities
• Keep you’re the section CONCISE, 5 – 7 bullet
points at a maximum

5. Maintain a Good Length for Each
Bullet Point
• One to two lines is great, any more than 3
lines is too much for one bullet point, consider
breaking it down into shorter bullet points
• Very short bullet points should be avoided
• Think: Responsibility + Achievement +
Amount of Time as a powerful professional
experience bullet point

6. Secret Resume Experience Tips
• Begin each point with an action verb
“Spearheaded …” “Liaised …” and “Devised …”
• Avoid Using “I”, the person reading already
knows it’s you
• Think of your achievements through tasks
such as: Budgets, People Managed, Costs
Saved, etc.
• Don’t give up 
