Thanks for the help Seb! What exactly is a hard number, and how can I add them to my CV? Are there soft numbers (and if there are, can I use them instead)? I want to make sure my experience section is adequate!

Hi geoffscott9633,
Great question! Hard numbers are quantifiable metrics on a CV that showcase your impact, like 'Increased sales by 30%.' There aren’t 'soft numbers,' but qualitative achievements are crucial too, like 'Led a team to develop a new project.' I’d recommend including a mix to present a well-rounded view of your contributions.
And here's an article with a more detailed explanation: cvgenius.com/blog/cv-help/work-experience-cv
Hope this helps! Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
Cheers!
