Two statements with large dollar amounts. What looks better? n Reduced process chemical costs by 31%, or $1.37 million per year. (or do I write out $1,370,000 or 1.37MM dollars, etc?) n Reduced energy usage by 8.1%, over $540,000 per year. Just looking for the best format. |

If it is a small company, go with the dollar amount. If it is a large company, go with the percentage. |

So, type out $1,370,000, or 1.37 million dollars? Maybe I'm all too anal about this, but I believe a resume should be absolutely perfect. It is the one chance you get to make an impression that will get you an interview. All too often I see resumes that are disheveled, no continuity of formatting, etc and I cringe. |

I've always done it like: $1.37M, but that's understood to be the norm in my field. |
