I would recommend seeking professional advice from a company like FAANGPath
I would recommend getting specific about your impact. How did your work impact company X? Can you put a dollar value on it?
Thank you so much for your help. My work were all in Non profit organization, so there is not that much to talk about dollar values. I will think about how to add the impact part though
