Each bullet on a resume should start with a strong action verb and show a result. Weak: Responsible for the store's social media. Strong: Grew the store's Instagram following from 300 to 1,200 in six months. Numbers make results concrete, so count what you can: customers served, dollars raised, hours volunteered.
Keep each bullet to one line if possible. Use past tense for past jobs and present tense for current ones, and leave out words like I and my.
