What’s the secret to making a resume look impressive without it going on forever? I’m currently updating it for the first time in three years. How am I supposed to turn hundreds of hours of work into five bullet points with action verbs?

Simple-ish:

1. It’s not what you do, it’s the impact of what you do.

2. It’s not the time, it’s the care you put in to what you do.

Honesty benchmark - happy to have your last deliverable posted publicly everywhere with your name on it?

3. The standard stuff, showing you’re a decent human being.

4. You want to stick out? Be you.

Lastly, don’t use recruitment portals or LinkedIn to apply for jobs - unless you’re not actually applying but just love wasting time. Rather, reach out to your future line manager directly. Yes, unsolicited. What’s the worst that could happen? Exactly.

The game in hiring has drastically changed in the last 2 years. Avoid having only areas of responsibility or what you did. You need to include the impact with hard figures.
Ex: Delivered xyz by optimization of workflows and automation which resulted in xx% improvement of abc process.

Showing your impact is the key. AI can help you build the foundation but make sure the figures are accurate.
Have specific tools you’d mastered and how you’ve built around them.
In interviews show you’re accountable, trustworthy, reliable, attitude, and communication.
These days it’s all about networking and reaching the right people that make hiring decisions. Team up with some recruiting agencies, they can connect you with the right roles. Good luck!

Use AI tools to assist in this. Also with AI it becomes way easier to tailor your resume for each individual job listing so I would try to do this as well

It’s destroying my ability to get anything done during the day. It’s a complete performance and it drives me nuts.
