A duty is only the starting point
Most jobs come with predictable responsibilities: answer customers, analyze performance, coordinate a team, write reports. Those details establish scope, but they do not yet tell a hiring manager how you approached the work or what happened next.
Choose a few moments from each role where your contribution is most relevant to the role you want. Start each bullet with a direct action verb, then add enough context for a reader outside your team to understand the accomplishment.
Add a result when you can support it
Results can be a number, but they do not have to be. A percentage, volume, time saved, budget, quality measure, or project milestone can be useful when it is accurate and meaningful. If you do not have a precise number, describe the concrete change: a new process introduced, a launch completed, a backlog reduced, or a program delivered.
Avoid inventing precision after the fact. The best bullet is the one you can explain with confidence if a recruiter asks how you measured it.
Keep the sentence readable
A strong bullet is usually specific, active, and economical. Remove internal jargon and opening phrases that do not add meaning. Read it aloud: if it sounds like a job description, it probably needs the result; if it sounds like a long story, it probably needs a tighter frame.
The goal is not to make every line dramatic. It is to make the relevant work easy to understand and remember.
