[QUOTE="Jessica Booker, post: 116424, member: 2672"] There really isn't a set number unfortunately - I have seen as little as 1 and some that are over 20 bullet points. It really depends on the length of the experience, the variety of experience within the role, and how it fits in with your other entries (e.g. are things superseded by more recent experiences or experiences where you did a similar thing but at a higher/more complex level). I would use your discretion to think the following: 1) what are the most important elements to highlight? 2) where do I have similar or better experience? 3) what is self-explanatory? My final point is that it isn't necessarily the number of bullet points that is the issue, it is usually that descriptions within each bullet point are quite lengthy. You should really be aiming for bullet points to be a line long (and ideally no longer than two lines). [/QUOTE]
