Resume Quantifier

# Resume Quantifier

## When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when the user:
- Needs to add metrics and numbers to their resume
- Has bullets without quantifiable results
- Doesn't know what numbers to include
- Says they "don't have metrics" or "can't measure impact"
- Mentions: "add metrics", "quantify", "add numbers", "measure impact", "no data"

## Core Capabilities

- Find hidden metrics in any experience
- Estimate numbers when exact data unavailable
- Create before/after comparisons
- Identify measurable impact points
- Transform vague statements into quantified achievements
- Guide users to discover their metrics

## Why Quantification Matters

**The Problem:**
- "Managed projects" vs "Managed 12 projects worth $2M"
- "Improved processes" vs "Reduced cycle time by 40%"
- "Helped customers" vs "Resolved 50+ tickets daily with 98% satisfaction"

**Studies Show:**
- Resumes with numbers get 30% more attention
- Quantified bullets are 40% more memorable
- Numbers provide credibility and scale

## Estimation Techniques

When you don't have exact numbers:

### Conservative Estimation

**Principle:** Estimate low to maintain credibility

**Example:**
- You think you saved 100 hours/month → say "75+ hours"
- You think growth was 50% → say "~40%"
- You think you served 500 customers → say "400+"

### Range Estimation

**Format:** "X-Y" or "X to Y"

**Examples:**
- "Managed team of 8-12"
- "Generated $100K-$150K in revenue"
- "Saved 20-30 hours weekly"

### Minimum Bound

**Format:** "X+" or "at least X"

**Examples:**
- "Served 100+ customers daily"
- "Manage
