What the analyzer checks
- Action verb start (30 pts): strong bullets open with a past-tense action verb (Led, Built, Cut, Grew), not a weak phrase like "Responsible for" or "Worked on".
- Measurable result (30 pts): a number, percentage, or dollar amount makes the impact concrete and credible.
- Length (20 pts): roughly 8–32 words. Too short lacks substance; too long gets skimmed.
- No filler (20 pts): words like "various", "several", "things", "etc", and first-person "I/my" weaken a bullet.
The strong-bullet formula
Action verb + what you did + quantified result. Compare "Responsible for improving onboarding" with "Cut new-hire onboarding time 40% by automating the setup checklist". Same work, very different signal. The second one names the verb, the action, and the number. Need a verb? See 50 action verbs that make your resume stand out.

Strong bullets are step one. Step two is making sure they use the keywords from the specific posting you are applying to — that is what gets you past the ATS. Run your resume through the free ATS grader to see your match score, or tailor it to the job description for $1.
