Questions people ask
How do I turn duties into achievements on a CV?
Use the pattern: action verb, what you did, how, and the result. Ask yourself what changed because you were there: faster, cheaper, fewer errors, more people served. Then put a real number on it.
What if I do not know my numbers?
Look for counts you can check: people, reports, cases a week, time saved, old dashboards or emails. If you cannot find a figure, the template leaves a [number] for you to fill; never guess.
Should CV bullets start with “I”?
No. CV bullets drop the “I” and start with a past-tense verb (present tense for a job you still have). Keep each one to a line, two at most.
Every writer in this library is fictional, and so is every detail about them. Universities and companies appear only as places someone applies to; the professors, papers and facts mentioned around them are invented for teaching. Use the examples to learn the moves, never as text to copy: committees notice, and your own facts are stronger.
