What are 'Bullets'?

Question

I am doing an online resume for a potential employer. In the directions on their site it says that when you paste your resume in the box, "bullets or bold font will not paste correctly". I understand what bold font is, but am not sure what 'bullets' are. Would be great if I could get only SERIOUS answers from people out there. Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

bullets

Bold = darker LETTERS
BULLETS is a space 1 inch from the margin

.................BULLET ............ no dots just a blank space

Answer 2

Those are the little dots or symbols in the lead of sentences that are in lists. Like this...
* I am a great talker.
* I can type 20 words a minute.
* I have great people skills.
* I am well organized.
The asterisk would be the bullet, but the are usually a bold dot centered more in the middle of the start of the sentence. I guess that's why they even have a name cause you can't just type one from the keyboard, unless you use a dash (-)! In Word they have all kinds of neat pics/symbols you can choose to use as bullets! Also in the character map you can find all sorts of bullets. Good luck with the job hunting!

Answer 3

A bullet is a big dot in front of an item in a list. The program may also complain about anyother shape that was in the front of a list as well....

Answer 4

bullets are what the dots, numbers, symbols - basically anything you use to mark a list with. A bullet would be the symbol in front of each item on the list.

Answer 5

Yup, it's just the preceding mark. So you could have this, and the "-" would be the "bullet"
