Resume bullet point checker
Paste your bullets, one per line. Each gets a quick check for a strong verb, a number, vague wording and length, with a tip to fix it.
How it works
What it checks
- Strong opening verb. Led, built, cut, trained. Not "responsible for" or "helped".
- A number. Counts, percents, dollars or time make a bullet believable.
- Vague wording. Phrases like "various tasks," "duties included" and "team player."
- Length. Roughly 10 to 25 words reads well.
- First person. Resumes leave out "I" and "my."
It's a rules check, not a judge of your career. Never add a number you can't back up.
FAQ
About the checker
What makes a strong resume bullet?
It starts with a strong action verb, says what you did and what changed, and has a number where you honestly have one: a count, a percent, a dollar amount or a time. About 10 to 25 words is a good range.
Why does it flag "responsible for"?
Phrases like responsible for, duties included and helped with describe a job, not a result. A bullet that says what you did and what came of it is stronger.
What if I don't have numbers?
Use what you honestly know: how many people, how often, how big, how fast. If you truly have none, describe the result in plain words. Never invent a number.
Is my resume saved or sent anywhere?
No. The check runs in your browser and nothing you paste is sent to us.
