This candidate needs to rewrite this bullet point to be more action-oriented

This candidate should rewrite this bullet point as an achievement

This candidate should rewrite this bullet point to include results

This candidate should include quantifiable data that demonstrates results

This work experience bullet point probably undersells the job candidate

YES, you should check all the boxes above. Work experience bullet points should describe achievements (accomplishments). Why? Achievements demonstrate skills and experiences that hiring companies value. The best method to describe an achievement is with an action-oriented verb ("I did A"), a description of results ("I achieved (accomplished) B"), and support the achievement (accomplishment) with quantified data ("as demonstrated by a Z increase in sales"). A vague phrase, "Interface with client and strategy team to recommend," isn't much of an achievement, particularly for this job candidate who is a graduating MBA student. Chances are, this job candidate is underselling themselves.

With 30 minutes and Prof O's resume guidance, this job candidate can materially improve this (and other) work experience bullet point by writing them as achievements generating results as demonstrated by data. Once improved, this job candidate will likely recall more achievements demonstrating skills valued by hiring companies, leading to a much-improved resume that is more likely to garner interviews.
