How it works
Strong bullets follow the XYZ formula popularized by Google’s recruiters: “Accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z].” Each variant here opens with an action verb of your choice, states what you achieved, and appends your metric when you supply one — so every line reads as action plus result instead of a list of duties. Numbers do the persuading: “improved customer retention” is weaker than “improved retention from 71% to 89%.” If you lack an exact figure, an honest approximation (“roughly $40K”), a scope (“across four regions”), or a frequency (“every week”) still adds credibility — just never invent numbers you can’t defend in an interview. You get three tones because resumes differ: the concise bullet fits tight experience sections, the ownership framing signals end-to-end accountability for leadership-track roles, and the highlight-reel line works at the top of a resume or in a cover letter. Pick whichever matches the voice of the rest of your document. Everything runs locally in your browser — nothing you type is stored, logged, or sent anywhere.
Frequently asked questions
What is the XYZ formula on a resume?
Popularized by Google recruiters, XYZ says every bullet should read: accomplished [X] as measured by [Y], by doing [Z]. It forces each line to pair an action with a measurable result, which is how hiring managers quickly tell real impact from a list of responsibilities.
What if I don’t have any hard numbers?
Use honest approximations, scope, or frequency instead: “about 20% faster,” “a team of five,” “weekly for two semesters.” Some context beats vague claims — but never invent figures. Anything on your resume is fair game for interview probing, so keep every number defensible.
How many bullets should each job get?
Three to five is the sweet spot for recent roles, and fewer for older ones. Lead with your strongest, most relevant achievement — recruiters skim in seconds, so the first line under each role carries the most weight.
Will keywords in my bullets help with ATS?
Yes, when they mirror language from the job posting naturally — the skills, tools, and outcomes the employer actually names. Stuffing in extra keywords reads poorly to humans and can hurt ATS ranking, so repeat only terms that truthfully describe your work.
