How To Write Your Resume’s Experience Section
At Rezi, we believe that each bullet should be able to stand on its own; ambiguity in bullet points could lead to situations where achievements are left out, skills are not recognized, and so on. Luckily, writing resume content is actually sort of simple. Just tell them what you did (include figures), why you did it, and how you did it (include technical details)! More on this here.
As they say, “the devil is in the detail” yet details give an awesome empirical frame to accomplishments… so include them.
