Operations resume — templates, keywords, and bullet examples
Operations resumes reward efficiency-improvement bullets. Every line should name the process, the before, and the after.
How to angle a operations resume
Ops resumes are scanned for the process improvement pattern: "X-process took N hours / cost $M / had Y error rate; I did the thing, now it takes A / costs B / has C error rate". Three to five of those bullets per role beats any amount of narrative.
If you're in supply-chain ops, lead with cost and throughput numbers. If you're in business ops / strategy, lead with cross-functional projects you owned end-to-end.
Section order: Summary → Experience → Skills (tools + methodologies) → Education → Certifications (Six Sigma / Lean / PMP).
