Most folks will remember this famous phone conversation between Cuba Gooding Jr. and Tom Cruise in Jerry Maguire.
The same philosophy is applicable to resumes the world over - don’t tell the recruiter what you can do; show them what you can do! Recruiters are seldom interested in what candidates claim their abilities are. Instead, they prefer evidence in the form of (quantifiable) achievements and accomplishments, projects, promotions, and examples with concrete facts and figures to show that the application for the candidacy is worth considering. Vague statements are often overlooked, but points laden with numbers, names and years always curry favour with recruiters.
