ResumeXRays guidance
BEE · How to show it

Lead with what you built. For a Job Zone 5 role, hiring managers and parsers both look for outcomes before credentials. Put two or three results at the top of each job entry, with the scale or effect stated plainly.

Name the tools exactly. This occupation is heavy on named software. A skills section that says "Microsoft Access, Microsoft Word, SAS, IBM SPSS Statistics" matches more job descriptions than a general phrase. Use the spelling employers use.

Show reading comprehension and speaking, not just instructing. Reading comprehension and speaking rank close to instructing for this occupation. One bullet per role that shows a decision, a tradeoff or a result covers them.
