This method can also work if you don't know the exact numbers (which is common), in which case you can simply adjust it to say "contributed to XYZ data point by doing ABC over LMNOP time."

Draft 3: "Drove 1,000+ inbound support tickets per month to close stage, averaging 50 per day with [CSAT rate, 4 star rating etc.] across areas like X, Y, and Z"

I recently updated the /resources page for job seekers on my site, incl. adding a couple of new niche job boards to a list of 15+ I keep an eye on

Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but if cold applying to 300+ jobs/week via LinkedIn, Indeed, etc. isn't working for you, there's some stuff here you may find useful: theearlymanager.com/job-search
