Frequently asked

Your questions about resume metrics, answered

Yes. No signup, no email gate, no paywall. Every benchmark, example, and measurement source on these pages is free, funded by my paid resume-writing service.

A resume metric is a number that proves impact: a latency you cut, an uptime you held, a budget you ran, a crash rate you drove down. Hiring managers read metrics as evidence you did the work, not just held the title.

From 12 years of screening tech resumes, many of them at Google, plus 1,500+ resumes rewritten. Each page ranks the metrics a hiring manager weighs most for that role and shows where average, good, and great land.

The guide is the full writing walkthrough; the skills page is the ATS keyword reference; the metrics page is the numbers layer, which figures to put on your resume and what good values look like. They work best together.

No. Each page ranks the metrics that matter most so you can lead with two or three strong numbers in your most recent role. A few well-backed metrics beat a wall of them.

Browse by role or by tech stack above. Software, hardware, data, cloud, security, QA, design, product, and management roles are live, with language, framework, and mobile specialists rolling out in the same format.
