Résumé bullet points
Your job has numbers. Here they are.
Every résumé guide tells you to quantify your achievements, and almost all of them are written by people thinking about revenue targets. If you pull espresso, work a till or cover a classroom, that advice arrives as a problem with no solution, and the reasonable conclusion is that your job does not have numbers.
It does. We went through 8 of them and found 46 things these jobs let you count, and every one is a figure your employer is already recording somewhere. Each page says what to count and where the number lives, then rewrites four real bullets around it.

If your role is not here
The method transfers. Ask what your employer measures about your shift, because they measure something: a timer, a till report, a rota, a stock-take, a satisfaction score. Then ask what you personally did that moved it, and whether you can say what it was before and after. Anything your manager reviews weekly is a number you are allowed to put on a résumé.
Once the numbers are in, the words around them matter less than people think — but the 125 word pages and the cut list are next door if a phrase is fighting you.
