Statements: |

Your statements display a much greater degree of quantitative measures and a greater emphasis on results and actions. Well done!
I see that you were able to make use of that list of action words I sent. It makes for a much more interesting resume to read.
I’ve highlighted just a couple additional areas where I think the statements could be stronger.
