Rewrote a generic customer-support-manager resume section two ways: a baseline pass only swapped a few verbs and left a soft-skills dump in place, while the skill-guided pass restructured every bullet with the XYZ formula, front-loaded the target JD's keywords, deleted the soft-skills section per its explicit rule, and -- notably -- used bracketed placeholders instead of fabricating metrics it didn't have.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What Resume Writing does

A citation-backed rulebook for writing and rewriting resume bullets: the XYZ scaffold, quantification with denominators, ATS-tested action-verb vs. buzzword pass rates, keyword front-loading for a target JD, bullet-length and structure rules, and gendered-language guidance. Triggers when writing, rewriting, or improving resume bullets, sections, or any resume text.
