Weak vs. Strong bullets
The format does the easy part. The bullets carry the weight. A few examples to set the bar.
Weak
Improved HRIS.
Strong
Migrated the company from BambooHR to Workday over 9 months. Automated the payroll-to-HRIS reconciliation (was 4 hours/week of manual work). Built 6 custom reports that replaced the 14 ad-hoc spreadsheets exec team had been pulling. Total time saved across People + Finance: roughly 280 hours/quarter recovered.
Weak
Rebuilt onboarding.
Strong
Rebuilt the new-hire onboarding program in Q2. New program is 5 days structured + 30/60/90 milestone reviews. New-hire NPS moved from 6.4 to 8.7 across 38 new hires this half. Time-to-productive (per manager survey) moved from 6 weeks median to 4 weeks median.
Weak
Did compliance work.
Strong
Led the SOC 2 Type II audit preparation across People (1 of 8 contributing functions). Closed 11 of 12 prior-year findings. Built the access-review automation that now runs quarterly without analyst time; auditor specifically cited it as the strongest control improvement of the period.
Manual template vs. Bloomly generated report
Manual brag doc
- Works when you already remember the right examples.
- Requires manual sorting, rewriting, and evidence cleanup.
- Best for a one-time draft or printable structure.
Bloomly generated report
- Starts from the work you captured when it happened.
- Organizes entries by goals, skills, impact, and review period.
- Turns daily evidence into shareable summaries and PDF reports.
You don't fill out a Bloomly report. Bloomly writes it.
The template above is the manual version. Bloomly is the generated version. Thirty seconds when something good happens (speak it or type it) and at review time the entire document is in your share sheet. Same shape as the template. Your numbers, your names, your dates. Already written.
