Hi all,
I have more than 5 yrs of WE and it seems somewhat stagnant and not that impressive in terms of $$, promotion, # of ppl mananged, etc.
Should I use Optional essay for this matter?
Thanks.
You might explain why you did not get promotion(s) if you have a valid reason .. some of the reasons could be:
in your industry/role typical promotion cycle is longer
your org. went through a lot of structural changes etc. etc.
Just be sure not to bring something to highlight which is NOT a weakness. That will put you in a negative light. Obviously its a very subjective call, what is weakness and what is not and you are its best judge.
for #ppl managed its not only people in your direct supervision for work; it might be for any extra curricular or a non-work related team as well.. just try to highlight n the leadership experiences wherever you can
