Your resume needs metrics if you want to win interviews.

But most people struggle to find those metrics.

Here are 5 ways to uncover them for *any* role:

Any role can have measurable outcomes tied to its actions.

Here are a few prompts to help you uncover them:

Time: How long did it take you to achieve something? Was that faster that usual or ahead of the timeline? If so, by how much?

Scope: What was the measurable scope of the project you worked on? How many people did you manage on this project? How many people use the product you work on? What was the budget for this project? Etc.

Efficiency / Productivity: Were you able to save budget? Save people time? Improve outcomes?

Comparison: How did your results compare to the past? Did you do things faster? Better? Can you quantify and compare that to previous work?

If you're still not sure?

Go find the people who leverage your work that also have numbers tied to their roles.

For example, let's say you're a designer who made a brand new pitch deck for the sales team. Go talk to the sales team and:

– Ask how many deals they've closed with your deck vs. the previous deck

– Survey them and ask them to rate your deck compared to the previous deck

– Etc.

You can always find a quantifiable way to measure your value if you're willing to get creative.
