Second, numbers are inherently credible because they can be checked. And very large numbers make a lasting impression even if I forget what they refer to.

Names of certain companies also carry more clout than others. If you've got it, flaunt it.
Resumes are no place for false modesty.
Knowing who previously employed you can affect how I perceive you and the quality of your achievements. It's also gratifying when the information is well-organized, so that each item hits my brain just when my mental organizing apparatus signals a need for it. This is a pleasant sensation, akin to the one I get when I pass the resume writer through the initial hiring screen and set up a job interview. Inc. All Rights Reserved.
