I don't think I have a single example where I reduced x by 15% or increased revenue by 10% over 3 months...etc. but I am good at what I do. Besides, does this really mean anything to anyone? I don't know the answer here but for some careers I think replacing vague buzz words with BS numbers and statistics isn't much better. Thoughts?
