How Numbers Can Enhance Your Resume

Did you know that numbers can make a huge difference in your ability to create a quality resume? It's true. The more numbers you add to your resume, the more you are enhancing it and increasing your chances of getting called in for an interview.

Of course, adding numbers doesn't simply meaning writing "1, 2, 3" in random places around the resume. They have to be used strategically to make a difference. But if you adopt the right strategies, you can bet that you will have enhanced your resume tenfold.

Start with Amounts

When jotting down accomplishments, not merely responsibilities, to your resume, you want to get as in-depth as possible. This means listing the amounts associated with everything you have accomplished. For instance, if you were a sales representative at your previous employer, you can mention that you not just sold products for the company, but that you sold X amount of products for the company.

Also, it's a good idea to talk about how many clients you were able to sell to. The more detailed you're able to be when describing your accomplishments, the more vividly you can paint a picture of what you'll be able to accomplish if the company hires you.

Move On to Money

So now that you've been able to successfully describe how many products you've sold, and how many clients you sold to, during your time at your previous company, let's think in terms of the dollar bill. If you were a sales representative, your ultimate job was to sell products or services to as many clients as possible so that you could make money for the company. So how much money would you say you made?

Obviously, the more money you were able to make, the more successful you probably were at your job, so you want to break down as many numbers as you can. Don't just total out all that you made in your career there. If you sold more than one product or service, don't be shy about listing total amounts for those that you sold the most of. These dollar amounts will tie into your explanations for how many products and clients you sold, so that your story can become that much more vivid.

Don't Forget Time

But you can't thoroughly list an accomplishment without mentioning time. In other words, over how many years did you sell products? How fast a time frame were you able to sell X amount of products to X amount of clients that made X amount of dollars? Or how many times a month were you asked to come up with another important sales strategy? You're catching on now, right? It's all about making sure you don't leave any important details out. If you don't mention it all, you're simply selling yourself short.

So now it's time to pass you the baton. It shouldn't be hard to come up with the numbers you need to fill in the blanks on your resume. Just take time to think about all the great things you've accomplished at your previous jobs so that you can show your future employer what a great employee they're getting.

Does anyone have a copy of the Instructions for a paint by number by paint works item DMS91094 White Magic?

Hi There!
I have been working on a paint by number picture for the past 3 years or so off and on. I am now about 2/3 of the way done, but I find that I have misplaced the instructions now. This is what I know about the painting... I think it is by paint works, item # DMS91094 called White Magic. It is a picture of two white wolves (mostly their heads and upper boddies) in a snowy birtch tree setting. I was hoping somebody might be able to tell me where I can download a copy of these instructions for this painting, or maybe somebody would have the instructions and be able to send me a digital copy of mail me a copy. I could really use some help. I have researched online and find there are these paintings for sale for around $20-30, but I really didn't want to have to buy the whole thing again. Please let me know if you can help. Thanks! Jessica Benevides jessb586@yahoo.com

White Magic is a very complicated picture,
and so Instructions would be useful,
If nothing else works here are some of the whole White Magic kits for sale a little cheaper than $20.00 - $30,00
Perhaps buy the kit and resell the unused painting and instructions used on ebay and recoup some of your investment.
Here is a White Magic kit for 12.78
