"Keep your resume bullets short and clean."

That advice is why you're getting skipped.

Reviewed resumes live this morning. One designer had 8 years of experience building enterprise software.

Her resume said: "Led UX design across three cross-functional teams."

That could be anyone.

When I asked her what she actually did, she told me she consolidated 5 separate software tools into a unified platform. Cut onboarding from 2 hours to 45 minutes. The sales team told her it would change how they sell the product. 50,000+ users impacted.

None of that was on her resume. She was keeping it "short and clean."

Another designer. Workday on the resume. Strong company. His bullets read like a job description. Short. Professional. And completely invisible. A hiring manager reading it couldn't tell what he owned versus what the team did.

The issue isn't bullet length. It's bullet depth.

"Led the design of a new experience" competes with 200 other resumes that say the same thing.

"Consolidated 5 legacy tools into one platform, reducing onboarding from 2 hours to 45 minutes, enabling non-specialist operators to complete workflows independently" gets remembered.

Same designer. Same work. Different signal.

Short bullets feel safe. But safe is what gets you skipped in a 7-second scan. A

hiring manager would rather read one bullet that tells them what changed because of you than five that tell them nothing.

Tomorrow is the last roast of the week.
