Sometimes I'll ask a job seeker to write an achievement starting with the action he or she took to achieve a result. Then we flip the two parts of the sentence around to put the result first. It's a great way to make a splash! For instance, "Hired three new managers, which resulted in 80% increase in sales." Flipped around, that achievement becomes, "Increased sales 80% by hiring three new managers." That's a grabber! I especially like the first point.
