The signal problem
The issue is usually not effort. It is the evidence, level, and context a recruiter or hiring manager can actually see.
See the review processList tools without showing responsibility.
Describe engineering work as support.
Miss the mission and environment context.
Use vague military or contractor language.
Handle clearance wording imprecisely.
Target roles above or below demonstrated level.

Fictional demonstration
Before
“Responsible for Cisco switches, routers and firewalls.”
After
“Designed and sustained secure enterprise network architecture across classified environments, integrating Cisco routing and switching, next-generation firewall controls and encrypted transport dependencies to support mission-essential operations.”
Fictional example for demonstration only. Use only sanitized, accurate language that you can support.
A useful first decision
The framework keeps the work organized around the decisions that change an application—not a score or a promise.
