Resume Bullet Point Analyzer
Paste your resume bullets to see which ones start with an action verb, include a number or measurable scope, and have a readable length. You get a short list of what to fix first.

What the analyzer checks
Each bullet gets three simple checks. Together they catch the most common reasons a bullet reads as vague.
- Opening: does the line start with a clear action verb, or with a weak opener such as responsible for, helped or worked on?
- Measurable scope: does it contain a number, percentage or amount that tells the reader how big or how often?
- Length: is it long enough to say something and short enough to read quickly, roughly 8 to 28 words?
The tool also lists the three weakest bullets so you know where to start.
How to read your results
A score of 3 out of 3 means a bullet passes all three checks. It does not mean the bullet is perfect. A 2 out of 3 is often fine: many strong bullets describe quality or scope in words instead of numbers.
Treat the output as a list of questions to ask yourself. If a bullet has no number, ask what you could honestly measure: volume, frequency, team size, time saved or money handled. If you cannot measure it, say who relied on your work or what changed.
A simple formula for a strong bullet
- Start with an action verb.
- Say what you did and, if useful, with which tool or method.
- End with the result or the reason it mattered.
Better: Built the weekly rota for a team of twelve and rebuilt the holiday request process so clashes were solved before the schedule went out.

Frequently asked questions
How many bullets should each job have?
Three to five for recent roles and one or two for older ones is a common pattern. Quality matters more than count.
Does every bullet need a number?
No. Numbers help when they are real, but a clear action and outcome can be just as convincing. Never invent figures.
Should I write bullets in past or present tense?
Use past tense for finished roles and present tense for your current job. Stay consistent within each role.
Is my text stored anywhere?
No. The analysis runs in your browser and nothing is uploaded or saved.
