'I've never heard of listing "achievements" on your resume, and all the articles I see on Google related to this are from Winter and Spring 2021'
The advice is good now, but it was also good 15+ years ago. The 2004 edition of 'Cover letter magic' contains a heading "Sales and Merchandising: What You Have Accomplished". It says:
"You can most positively position your qualifications by defining the scope of your responsibilities and then highlighting your achievements and successes. That means not just saying what you did, but also how well you did it."
Note the use of the words 'accomplished', 'achievements', 'successes'.
I'm sorry I don't have any older CV books handy.
