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.
