Step 4: Update your Work Experience Section
Remember, Numbers make a difference.
Why? Because adding numbers to the work experience section of your resume:
Shows you can do what you say you can do by displaying direct results of your actions.
Catches the eye of a hiring manager as they scan your resume.
Makes you stand out in a stack of resumes that don’t have numbers proving value.
