Home/Bullet Generator
Free resume bullet generator — STAR, XYZ, or the full rewrite.
Pick the format that fits the role. STAR for behavioral and non-tech roles, XYZ for metrics-driven tech and data, or the full tailoring flow to rewrite every bullet against a specific job description.
All generators share a no-invention guarantee — the prompts explicitly forbid inventing metrics, scope, tools, or achievements you didn't state. If your input lacks specifics, you get an honest coaching note instead of fabricated detail.
Single-experience generators
Pick a format.
Both are free with a generous per-IP daily cap. They take a plain-language description of one experience and return a resume-ready bullet in that format.
STAR Method
Situation, Task, Action, Result
The most flexible behavioral framework. Works for resume bullets and behavioral interview answers across every sector.
Best for
Healthcare, education, customer service, hospitality, humanities, nonprofit — and behavioral interview prep across the board.
“I helped my team during a product launch by handling the data work.”
Owned the analytics rollout for a 3-product summer launch (Situation), built the GA4 + Shopify reporting stack the brand team relied on weekly (Task → Action), and produced 1-page recaps that drove the next round of channel-mix decisions (Result).
XYZ Format
Google's Accomplished X by Y by doing Z
The compressed format Google's recruiting team teaches. Optimized for resume bullets where measurable outcomes carry weight.
Best for
Software engineering, data, finance, accounting, sales, growth marketing — anywhere outcome metrics are the differentiator.
“Built a backend service that handled lots of API requests.”
Reduced p95 latency by 30% on a 2M-req/day Python microservice by query-optimizing the Postgres reads and adding a Redis caching layer.
Picking between them
STAR vs XYZ — which to use.
The honest answer: it doesn't matter much for most resumes, because both formats compress to similar bullet shapes by the time they're written. Where they diverge is the rhetorical center of gravity.
STAR puts the situation in front. Best when the context is meaningful and not implied by the role title — a clinical rotation on a cardiac unit, a case competition with named stakes, an internship at a specific point in a company's history. STAR also shines in behavioral interview answers because spoken format has room for the narrative arc that resume bullets compress out.
XYZ puts the outcome in front. Best for metrics-driven roles where the first thing the recruiter wants to see is the number. Software engineering, data, finance, accounting, sales, growth marketing — anywhere "reduced p95 latency by 30%" or "lifted ROAS by 18%" or "closed $1.4M in pipeline" is what gets the bullet read.
If you're unsure: run the same experience through both generators and pick whichever reads more naturally for the role. The differences shrink quickly once the bullet is tightened.
Whole-resume rewrite
Rewrite every bullet against a job description.
The single-experience generators handle one bullet at a time. The full tailoring flow rewrites up to 8 of your weakest bullets in one pass, calibrated against a specific JD's required skills and keywords. Includes the match score, missing keywords, summary rewrite, cover letter, and ATS-friendly PDF + DOCX export.
First tailoring is fully unlocked — no signup. Same no-invention guarantee as the single-experience generators.

FAQ
Frequently asked.
What's the difference between STAR and XYZ format?
STAR (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is broader and works for resume bullets and behavioral interview answers. XYZ ('Accomplished X as measured by Y by doing Z') is Google's compressed format optimized for resume bullets only. STAR is more flexible across role types; XYZ reads tighter for tech and metrics-driven roles where outcome numbers carry the weight.
Which format should I use?
Default: XYZ for tech/data/finance/sales roles where measurable outcomes matter. STAR for everything else — humanities, healthcare, education, nonprofit, customer-service. If you're unsure, run the same experience through both generators and pick the one that reads more naturally for your context.
Can the generator rewrite every bullet on my resume at once?
Yes — the full tailoring flow at /tailor rewrites up to 8 of your weakest bullets in one pass, against a specific job description. The single-experience generators here (STAR / XYZ) are for quick one-offs; the tailoring flow is for end-to-end resume work against a job posting.
Will the AI invent achievements I didn't have?
No. The system prompts explicitly forbid inventing metrics, scope numbers, tools, or outcomes you didn't state. If your input lacks specifics, the generator returns an honest note instead of fabricating detail. Always read the output before pasting it into your resume.
Is this really free?
The single-experience generators (STAR + XYZ) are free with a per-IP daily cap. The full tailoring flow is one full free tailoring per browser, then $0.99 per additional job or unlimited on a subscription.
