Resumes can be boring to read and it comes down to the classic storytelling elements. A narrative requires a what and how to be followed, but the why is what makes it interesting. I continue to use this way of getting to a resume version of that storytelling:  https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/google-recruiters-say-these-5-resume-tips-including-x-y-z-formula-will-improve-your-odds-of-getting-hired-at-google.html?cid=sf01003

I started to rewrite these and ran low on time, so asked to help. It’s pretty solid:

✍️ Original:

Defined and validated product vision through market research, user interviews, surveys, and natural language analysis techniques (Python, Excel), directly shaping the pivot to the current core feature set.

 Rewritten (XYZ Format):

Shaped and validated a new product vision that led to a core feature pivot, as measured by a 40% increase in early user engagement, by conducting market research, over 25 user interviews, and text-based sentiment analysis using Python and Excel.


✍️ Original:

Hired and partnered closely with product designers and user researchers to translate insights into wireframes (Figma), prototypes, and backlog items (Shortcut), iterating in weekly sprints.

 Rewritten (XYZ Format):

Accelerated feature delivery by 50% and reduced user onboarding time by 80%, by hiring and collaborating with product designers to convert insights into wireframes (Figma), prototypes, and iterative backlog items (Shortcut) through weekly sprints.


Optional Notes for Tailoring:

  • If you have actual metrics, include them! Even approximations ("~30%", “under 2 weeks”, etc.) are powerful.
  • If the outcome was strategic, like unlocking funding, press coverage, or new partnerships, call it out.
  • If you want a stronger lead-in verb (e.g., “Refined,” “Revamped,” “Transformed,” “Enabled”), I can help tune that based on tone.
