Because that\'s where the bots stop reading.
Applicant Tracking Systems like Greenhouse, Workday, Lever, and Taleo truncate bullet text at roughly 120 characters when displaying your resume to a recruiter. Beyond that, your carefully-crafted outcome becomes "..." and the recruiter moves on.
Aim for under 100 characters per bullet for tight, scannable writing. Under 120 keeps you safe. Over 140 is guaranteed truncation.
The longer bullets tend to be duty-based ("Responsible for managing a team of engineers across multiple product lines and ensuring timely delivery of key initiatives"). The shorter ones tend to be outcome-based ("Shipped 4 features to 50K users, cutting support tickets 30%"). Shorter is usually also better.
