About this chapter

A short, dedicated look at how I structure bullet points, with a worked example, because it's a skill and not an easy one.

Bullets, not narrative, and written without referring to yourself by name or "I".
Two or three bold words summarise each bullet so the eye can scan down; where possible, echo the keywords in the job advert.
The rest of the bullet is the detail, kept to a consistent two lines.
You can deliberately break the pattern with a sub-bullet list to highlight specific achievements, but do it on purpose.
Use standard Word bullets and tabs so everything stays easy to edit.
