Do You Really Need to Quantify Everything on Your CV?

What to do when you don’t have the numbers — and why that’s totally OK.

It’s season 1, episode 7 of The Berlin Life podcast, and we’re back with some practical, no-fluff advice to help you find work in Germany.

🐿 In a Nutshell

In this episode, we’re tackling the big question: Do you really need to quantify every career accomplishment with hard numbers?

Here’s what we get into:

  • Why accomplishments are key to writing a CV that actually lands interviews

  • When numbers do work — and when they might not

  • How showing impact can be just as powerful (and sometimes better!)

  • Why exaggerating or stretching the truth is a major red flag

  • How imposter syndrome can hold you back from owning your wins

  • Why keeping a “humble brags” list might be your best job search hack ever
