"Which one to choose?" says the hiring manager to his team member helping to review resumes."This one says they have 10 years of project management experience," the team member says."Yes, but what type of projects?" the hiring manager asks."Ya, light on details. Okay, how about this one? 7 years of project experience, but she lists the projects with some details. Pretty cool, actually. Look at this project," showing the resume to the manager."Okay, sold, let's go with her. At least we have an idea of what she did."You just lost that opportunity.Not because you didn't do the work, but because you didn't include details to improve your chances."Managed data center operations.""Oversaw server infrastructure.""Provided technical leadership."These don't impress anyone. They don't prove you can handle the scale. They just tell the hiring manager you showed up.Enter 2Q.Quantifying and Qualifying details are what separate a forgettable resume from a must-interview resume.But you can't add 2Q details if you don't have them.
