How to use them
Read this before you fill them in.
01
Pick the one that fits your stage.
Career changer if you’re moving in from another industry. Recent graduate if you’ve just finished uni. Experienced if you’ve already SDR’d for 12+ months.
02
Replace every bracketed placeholder.
Anything in [square brackets] is a placeholder. Don’t leave even one. Hiring managers and ATS scanners both notice. Open the PDF in Word, Pages, or upload to Google Docs to edit.
03
Quantify everything you can.
Numbers beat adjectives. “Managed 160 properties with 96% retention” is one bullet. “Strong communication skills” is filler. If you can’t put a number on it, rewrite the bullet until you can.
04
Cut anything that doesn't earn its line.
Two pages max for experienced. One page for career changers and grads. Every line should either show a result or unlock the next line. If it doesn’t, delete it.
05
Get someone who's hired SDRs to read it.
Your friends will tell you it looks great. They’re wrong. Find an actual SDR or hiring manager to read it. If you’d like that to be me, book a 30-min call.
