You can describe the results achieved in a job description by using specific, measurable outcomes. For example, instead of saying 'improved sales', you could say 'increased sales by 15% over a six month period'. You could also use specific examples of projects or tasks you completed that had a positive impact on the company. For example, 'led a team that completed a project three weeks ahead of schedule, saving the company $10,000'.

Question was asked on:

This should be a quantitative result, like "increased revenue by 20%."
