Writing a Great Bullet Point
WHO – Who did your job help? The company,
clients, customers?
WHAT – What happened with the results of the
job? If you did research, was that information
published? If you had to do a report what was
done with that information?
WHEN – When did the task happen? Daily,
weekly, monthly? Stating how often you did
something is an easy way to show productivity.
WHERE – Where did your duties occur? Did
you have to travel for a job? Were you
responsible for interacting with people outside
of your organization?
WHY & HOW– Why did you do this? How did
your job duties help or add to the organization’s
ability to function.

Dear Mr. Nash:
I am contacting you in regard to the Employment Service Manager 14 position for Region 2
within Veterans’ Employment Services. My professional and life experience, education, and
personal drive make me an outstanding candidate for the manager position.
My experience with the State of Michigan as a Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program Specialist,
coupled with my time in the United States Army and Army Reserve, gives me the proper
background to be a successful manager within your Division. With over 19 years of military
experience accompanied by a degree from a top-rated university, I have obtained and honed the
skills required to succeed in this position. In my professional career history, I have over 16 years
leadership experience with proficiency in personnel management, communication, assessment,
training/instruction, mentoring, logistics, and administrative duties. I am disciplined, yet flexible,
and have an exceptional ability to multitask. My motivation, dedication, and eagerness to thrive
are proven by my upward movement through the ranks of the United States Army and Army
Reserve.
I look forward to hearing from you in regards to my resume. At that time we can discuss the
position, my qualifications, and how I can be a valuable addition to your management team. I
can be reached using the telephone numbers and email listed above. Thank you in advance, and I
look forward to speaking with you.
Cordially,
John Vernier

Dear Jean Cabrillo,
This letter is to express my interest in the position as Systems Engineer for International Widget
Corporation in South America, announced in the December job listing at the UC Berkeley Placement
Center. I am also sending a resume, showing that my expertise exactly matches the requirements listed
in the position announcement.
This position particularly caught my eye, as I recently read in the Wall Street Journal that International
Widget is considering converting all in-house computers to Windows for DOS. I have a strong software
background, and have just returned from a two-year stint in Argentina where I functioned as an
independent computer specialist/programmer for a variety of businesses. Among other tasks, I installed
and utilized Microsoft products, including Windows for DOS, and I have been developing applications in
Microsoft Quick C for Windows. I earned a reputation among my clients for ensuring product satisfaction,
and I would be happy to supply a list of client references.
I have always admired the success of International Widget, particularly in South America, where I find the
technical developments challenging and rewarding. I would very much enjoy discussing the possibility of
our working together. I look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Stephen Diego

Dear Dr. Rhodes:
I enjoyed our conversation on February 18
th
at the Family and Child Development seminar on
teaching elementary children and appreciated your personal input about balancing the needs of
children and the community during difficult economic times. This letter is to follow up about the
Fourth Grade Teacher position as discussed at the seminar. I will complete my M.Ed. in
Curriculum and Instruction at Virginia Tech in May 2016 and will be available for employment as
soon as needed for the 2016-17 school year. My teacher preparation program at Virginia Tech
has included a full academic year of student teaching. Last semester I taught second grade and
this semester am teaching fourth grade. These valuable experiences have afforded me the
opportunity to:
➢ Develop lesson plans on a wide range of topics and varying levels of academic ability.
➢ Work with emotionally and physically challenged students in a total inclusion program.
➢ Observe and participate in effective classroom management approaches.
➢ Assist with parent-teacher conferences and complete in-service sessions on diversity,
math and reading skills, and community relations.
My experience includes work in a private day care facility, Rainbow Riders Childcare Center,
and in Virginia Tech’s Child Development Laboratory. Both these facilities are NAEYC-
accredited and adhere to the highest standard. At both locations, I led small and large group
activities, helped with lunches and snacks, and implemented appropriate activities. Both
experiences also provided me with extensive exposure to the implementation of
developmentally appropriate activities and materials.
I enthusiastically look forward to putting my knowledge and experience into practice in the public
school system. I can be reached at (540) 555.7670. Thank you very much for your time and
consideration.
Sincerely,
Donna Harrington
