Please, please reflect on your work before even writing a single resume bullet point. The problem is that most people don't actually know what to say about their own work.

From my years of experience writing resumes professionally, I've noticed so many solid candidates undersell themselves. It's not like they haven't done nothing. It's just that they never practiced reflecting on their work. It's a skill, and nobody tells you it's part of the process!

So before you write a single bullet, talk through your work first.

So I built an AI tool that interviews you and brings out the right context for writing the resume. You talk through what you did, the decisions you made, the constraints you worked under. StoryCV then asks follow-up questions and writes the bullet points from that conversation.

Would love your honest feedback, especially if you’ve struggled to write resume bullet points in the past.

Oh, yeah, c'est moi. I was sitting around the other night thinking, "I actually have done some really impressive things, but I have no idea how to talk about them." I'll try this out and let you know what I think, OP.
