CV Help - (Writing a CV) Common CV error - number twenty two. Not spelling out the achievements

Writing a CV Common CV error -  number twenty two.   There is no place for reticence when writing a successful CV.   It’s time to present your  very best achievements in the best possible light . Spelling out your achievements really does mean a “ this – means – that ” approach.   In other words: bringing in a project completion 3 months ahead of forecast is impressive, but....  what did it mean to your employer ?   When you describe this as: “completed major project 3 months ahead of forecast and saved £30,000 in contractor’s fees”, you have identified yourself as a  skilled, motivated manager with an eye firmly on the bottom line .   What recruiter wouldn’t want to discuss your approach to business in more detail at an interview?
