The 6-Second Scan and How to Survive It
What recruiters look for
- Job title on top — clearly PM-oriented
- Latest role at top with prominent company name
- Bullets with dollar signs and % improvements
- 1-line personal statement — skip fluff
Bullet Formula
Verb + action + outcome
- Verb: Led / Owned / Shipped / Increased
- Action: what you did
- How: framework / tool / method
- Outcome: quantified (%, $, users, time)
- Example: "Led redesign of onboarding flow using JTBD interviews + A/B testing, lifting activation 32% → 51% ($2.1M ARR)"
