Maybe HR and IT staff don't look for the same stuff.
On a resume, I am typically looking for experience and skills, stuff like that I perfer in an interview. Examples like "I saved x dollars" would more often than not turn me off in a resume. Saving money, for example, can be a very tricky concept and very liable exaggeration. The same with many "accompishments". Better to bring it up in the interview (I specifically ask for that stuff there) where I can go into depth about what they really did!

Anyone see the simpson's episode where Homer realized he only had to hit "y" rather than type "yes"? "Marge, I just tripled my productivity!"
