Quantify Everything You Touch

Stop using vague descriptions like "responsible for" or "managed a team." Recruiters and executives hire based on results, not duties.

Your Tip: For every bullet point on your resume and every answer in an interview, attach a measurable result. Instead of saying, "Managed the budget," say, "Cut departmental costs by 18%, saving the company $45,000 annually." Quantify your accomplishments to turn your experience from a list of tasks into a powerful presentation of realized value and return on investment (ROI).
