Write what you did. Get back what it was worth.
In developmentType a responsibility in your own plain words. The rewriter returns it as an achievement, opening with a verb, with the places your own numbers belong marked in brackets so nothing is invented for you.
- A few seconds per bullet
- No invented numbers
- No email required
How it will work
One box, your job title, and a rewritten line back. It never fills in a figure for you, because a number you cannot defend is worse than no number at all.
- 1
Write the duty plainly
Exactly as you would say it out loud. Responsible for stock control is a perfectly good starting point, and it is where most people are stuck.
- 2
Say which job you are applying for
The same duty reads differently for a warehouse manager and a retail supervisor, because the two roles are judged on different things.
- 3
Take the version that fits
You get a few phrasings at different experience levels. Pick the one that is true of you and fill in the brackets with your own figures.
Why duties lose to outcomes
Most resumes describe the job description rather than the person who held it. Responsible for stock control tells a recruiter what the role was. It says nothing about whether you were any good at it, and every other applicant for that job can write the identical line.
An achievement has three parts: a verb at the front, a scale, and a result. Cut stock discrepancies by [X]% across [X] lines does all three in nine words, and it cannot be copied by someone who did not do it.
This is also the part people ask an AI to do and get burned by, because a general model happily invents the figure. Brackets solve it. The sentence is finished, the claim is still yours to make.
Four rewrites
The left column is what people actually write. The right is the same fact, made worth reading.

Do it by hand today
The formula is not a secret. Run every bullet on your resume through these five questions and you will fix most of them in an hour.
- 1Does it start with a verb?Cut, built, led, ran, reduced, negotiated, trained. Not responsible for, not duties included, and never tasked with.
- 2Is there a number in it?How many, how often, how much, how fast, how large. If you truly cannot count it, describe the scope instead: the sites, the systems, the team size.
- 3Does it say what changed?A bullet that ends where the task ends is a duty. Add the outcome, even a modest one, and it becomes evidence.
- 4Could a colleague have written the same line?If anyone in that job could claim it word for word, it is describing the role and not you. Make it specific until only you could have written it.
- 5Can you talk about it for two minutes?Every bullet is an invitation to a question. If you would rather they did not ask, take it off the page.
Or skip the work
The Career Kit for your job title includes a bullet point library with every line already written at one, two, five and ten or more years. You pick the tier that matches you and fill in the brackets.
Find your job titleQuestions about this tool
When will the tool be live?
It is being built now, and there is no published date because we would rather leave it blank than put an invented one on the page. The formula above is what it automates and it works today.
Will it make up numbers for me?
No, and that is deliberate. Every figure comes back as a bracket for you to fill. A plausible invented number is the fastest way to lose an interview you had already won.
How is this different from asking ChatGPT?
A general model will happily produce achievements you never had, in a register that reads like everyone else. This is constrained to the wording of one job title and it leaves the facts to you.
Can I use it for a LinkedIn profile too?
Yes. The wording is slightly more formal than LinkedIn usually wants, so loosen the first few words, but the structure carries over fine.
How many bullets should each job have?
Four to six for your current role, two to four for the one before, one or two for anything older than about eight years. More than that and none of them get read.
Everything these tools check is already written into the templates. The Career Kit carries the keyword bank, the bullet library and the formatting guidance for your job title today.
