Why Most Resume Bullets Get Ignored

“Managed a team of 5” “Responsible for sales”

These bullets tell recruiters nothing about your impact.

The SAR Formula (Situation → Action → Result)

Situation – What was the challenge or context? Action – What did you specifically do? Result – What was the measurable outcome?

Real Before vs After Examples

Weak: Managed social media accounts

Strong (SAR): Managed 4 social media accounts for a SaaS brand, growing Instagram followers from 8K to 67K in 8 months through consistent storytelling and UGC campaigns.
