Kalena,
Totally agree about points 2 and 3. I just got done with a small interviewing and hiring process and bullets help save my eyes, but numbers really make a difference to me… not so much for the quantity or magnitude, but it shows that someone is in fact taking a logical approach, measuring, etc. I think that approach itself is more important than exactly what the numbers show. It shows an understanding of today’s business climate.
