"As much as half off," means, "There is at least one item on sale for half of some price of dubious origin. Resumes are a natural habitat for weasel words, fyi. Everything else is any price we want it to be.". When you say, "nearly 500," it's a totally different message than, "500.". They let you wriggle out of your promise.

Your resume is written. So is your Facebook update, your garage sale ad and the memo to your employees. Are they inclined to take action? Will it spread?

In my disastrous first interview, I was asked a question on how to grow sales of additional luggage of an airline in a very short period of time. For example, client wants to "improve sales" vs. client wants to "improve profits" are two very different things. Let me give you an example to make my question sound more clear.

While this is a post about people who work to become great programmers, I think it applies to most fields, including sales and design. There are literally tens of thousands of programmers working at Apple, Google and Facebook, and each company receives more than a thousand resumes a day. It might not be a great choice, though.
