My suggestion (I think I've replied to too many of your posts today, so this will be the last one):
Include results in your resume, not just your job responsibilities. You reviewed work, ok but what did that do? Did that improve efficiency by X% or did it reduce errors by Y%?
You say provided value, what value? How was it measured?
Resumes are a way for you to show how you can impact a company's bottom line. Some of the best resumes I have seen had lots and lots of numbers (mostly in the form of results). But things like: used X, Y, Z to develop new system that reduced operating costs by $100,000.
squawkbox: didn't have a choice, didn't get hired back.

Why didn't you continue with Towers Perrin or Watson Wyatt?
