Big achievements are great. Micro-wins get skimmed and remembered.
Format: Situation → Action → Result (metric).
Example: “Rebuilt parts inventory (Action) to cut aircraft turnaround by 22% (Result).”
Add one civilian anchor per bullet: “customer,” “stakeholder,” “budget,” “deadline.”
Cap bullets at 12–15 words; start with a verb; end with a number.
Mirror keywords from the job post (exact text matters for ATS).
Pro tip: A/B test two versions on LinkedIn’s Easy Apply for a week to see which gets more callbacks
