I find statements like "boosted sales by x%" completely out of place on a resume. Imagine you are an account/sales manager at AWS - cloud sales will still go for a while, no matter what you do. So you are basically just riding the wave of booming cloud which is completely independent of your personal sales skills.
- busterarm 5y agoYou're nitpicking the details of what the created value was. The absolute best candidates I talk to almost always detail the value that they created. These people also negotiate better salaries for themselves. 99% of everyone just lists their responsibilities on their resumes and it makes them almost useless. The difference is that of that 1% of people, I will interview 100% of them. From the general pool of 99% I am looking for mistakes in your resume to not talk to you.
