Quantify Accomplishments - Numbers Get Attention

Why is it so important to quantify accomplishments?

Your resume must provide prospective employers with a glimpse into your life. What
they are looking for is your potential to serve their needs in an effective and definable way.

When you specify or quantify accomplishments (results) in your resume, you speak the
language that employers want to hear. This means using facts and figures to define your successes.

Using results helps explain in concrete terms how you benefited your last employer. When you are able to state an outcome to your accomplishments, you are going to begin to get the approval of hiring managers.

Why?

Outcomes have meaning. They are real. They are definable and relational. Defining your achievements in this way allows an employer to see specific representations of your ability to perform the duties of a job well. They are clear, concise and remove subjectivity. Numbers provide a means to quantify accomplishments - your specific achievements - in a way that will excite prospective employers.
