Of course, it would be absurd to try to quantify every single one of your tasks or accomplishments. Still, at the very least, you can be qualitatively speci?c. For example, instead of simply saying, “I’m multilingual,” you could say, “I am ?uent in French, Spanish, and Chinese.” Or, instead of saying that your artwork has been shown in “many galleries,” you might say that your work has been shown in “galleries in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Santa Fe, Denver, and New York.”

Other statements that do not need to be quanti?ed to convey the weight of accomplishment would be the following:

• I won an award for being the employee of the year.
• I’m president of the Society for Historical Research.
• I graduated with highest honors.
• My customers have described me as dependable, honest, and fair.
• My last boss would describe me as dynamic, innovative, and creative.
• I created a new curriculum for self-esteem in secondary schools.
• I invented a new type of kitchen sponge.
