% Writing Strong Bullets
% For each role, try to discuss your accomplishments with the following approach: "Accomplished X by implementing Y which led to z:· Here's an example:
% • "Reduced object rendering time by 76 by implementing distributed caching, leading to a 10 reduction in log-in time:·
% Here's another example with an alternate wording:

%XYZ RESUME FORMAT: moving forward this is how I want you to be able to write your resume bullet points.
%Each Bullet point should have 3 different things (xyz), which will make your resume objective and direct, and allow hiring managers/ recruiters %- give you more opportunities to get new jobs/ and interviews
% X= What am I doing ( as in why did the company hire me/ why are they paying me every day, what is my purpose at this company)
% Y= How am i doing it ( who are my stakeholders i am working with, what are my kpis/ metrics, what’s the % of the time I am working on certain % things vs. this. You need to show how hands on you are in order to show the impact/ effort you are doing.
% Z= Result ( what did you accomplish, did you save the company money, did you save the company time). Your result is only as strong as your XYZ
