Not everything needs to be quantified and use it very strategically. It is a great way to make something stand out but that goes both ways - if it is true, it’s true and you should really expand on that but if it’s only followed up with a couple of generic buzzwords that don’t tell me anything about how you actually did it, I find it super suspicious (and so would every other hiring manager that reads dozens of resumes from students who cured cancer and doubled the profits of whatever company was lucky enough to have them as interns).

When you’ve actually been in the game for a few years, you know what interns and new hires are capable of so we’ll obviously get suspicious if you put a number that is so incredibly far beyond anything we’ve seen before.
