"I built XYZ at $COMPANY and resulted in $Xm in revenue growth"

What did you, specifically, do? Did you lead a team of problem-solvers, did you glue together someone else's black-box solutions, did you personally invent something radically new? I've seen people across that entire spectrum make statements such as this, and they are best suited for very very different positions.

This is absolutely a great thing to chat about during the background and past experience part of the live interview, but if I'm hiring for a hands-on position, I'd still like to see how you solve problems.
