How long should bullet points be?
How long should each bullet point be? Keep each bullet point to 1-2 lines. Your bullet points should be a concise summary of your resume's accomplishments — if you really want to elaborate on them, save it for a resume summary, short blurb, or cover letter.
How many lines should a bullet point have?
The length for a bullet point you need to aim at is about 1-2 lines.
Should bullet points be one line?
Ideally, all of your bullet points should fit on one line. However, if you have a particularly long sentence, try to move that sentence to the end of the bullets, so that it does not cause another bullet point to blend with the end of the sentence.

Bullet point structure
Your points should be consistent, either all sentences or all fragments. Make sure the grammatical structure of your bullet points is parallel by starting each with the same part of speech. For instance, if you start one point with an adjective, start them all with an adjective.
