Numbers vs. Bullet Points

When it comes to formatting your resume, both numbered lists and bullet points have their advantages.

Let’s explore the pros and cons of each:

Bullet Points:

Keep it simple: Bullet points are brief and usually contain only one key concept, while all bullet points in a list relate to the same theme.

Unordered lists: Use bullets when the sequence or number of elements in your list is not important. Changing the order of items in a bullet list does not affect meaning or make it difficult to understand.

Accomplishments: Write bullet points that showcase achievements rather than just listing job duties. Start each bullet point with strong action verbs and tailor them for each job application. Incorporate relevant keywords from the job description.

Numbered Lists:

Quantifiable impact: Numbers can make your accomplishments stand out by showing verifiable results. They demonstrate how valuable you are and the impact you can make. Use specific numbers for dollar amounts, lengths of time, and percentages.

For example: “Completed 8 feasibility studies, resulting in 2 new hotel openings.”

“Achieved a 12% increase in revenue.”

Consistency is key: If you choose to use figures (numbers) throughout your resume, be consistent. Use figures for numbers 1-9 to save space and help your accomplishments "pop".

In summary, both formats have their place. Use bullet points for simplicity and unordered lists, and consider using numbers strategically to highlight your achievements. Remember to maintain consistency throughout your resume! Some studies show that the reader's eyes are more drawn to numbers than bullet points. #AWU #disability #resumetips

Highlight Relevant Skills:

Don't just list, rank: Prioritize your skills based on the job description. List the most relevant skills first, and consider using subcategories to organize them for easy reading. Show, don't tell: Don't just say you're "proficient" in a skill. Briefly showcase how you've used it to achieve success in your previous roles. #AWU #disability #resumetips

Your resume is a marketing document, designed to highlight the ways you fit the job you’re applying for. It doesn’t need to be an exhaustive accounting of every job you’ve ever held. With that said, include only the jobs that strengthen you as an applicant. #AWU #disability #resumetips
