1 Resume Rule That Makes Recruiters Remember You
If a recruiter cannot retell your strongest win after one glance, your resume is wallpaper. The rule is simple. Every top bullet must name a change you caused.
The remember rule
Lead each role with a bullet that a stranger could repeat at standup. Game or product. Constraint. Your move. Measurable change.
Where to place it
First bullet under each job. First lines of your highlight section. Do not bury the only memorable line under duties.
Quick test
Hand your resume to a friend for ten seconds. Ask what they remember. If they cannot name a win, rewrite until they can.
