List skill (such as language, o/s, database etc) your evaluation of your level of experience (basic, adept, expert) and the number of years experience. Present in a compact but readable table. Pages 2+ of the CV can fill in the details such as education, companies worked for, details of projects worked on etc. | |

| Sep 11, 2019 at 16:41 | comment | added | Jacob is on Codidact | I have interviewed people with this kind of CV and rejected them for being too "corporate bullshit"-minded, and appearing to be more competent at interviewing than actually working. I suggest not even bringing the numbers up unless you have something very concrete with clear causality. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 19:26 | comment | added | Gabe Sechan | To any software engineer, a resume with stats like that smells like bullshit, and is more likely to get you rejected than hired. Concentrate on what you built, skills you used, and technical accomplishments. If you're going to give numbers, give it on technical things that you actually did (cut latency in half), not "doubled growth" which an engineer has no direct effect on. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 17:52 | comment | added | PhD | Try MEDIC phrases: Maintained, Eliminated, Decrease, Increase, Create - they serve as good proxies for measures without the need of objective metrics. Example, “increased user engagement by doing X”, or “decreased downtime by tweaking architecture” etc. Works just as well. | |
