Hi everyone!
I am filling an application to business school and there is a drop-down menu which limits choices:
1) I worked for GE branch in Kazakhstan and GE is a diversified global company and a number of GE businesses were present in my area: Transportation, O&G, Healthcare, Energy etc.... But a drop-down list for job industry does not let to choose more than one choice and diversified is not one of them... Manufacturing could be one good choice for GE, but they do not manufacture in Kazakhstan, they would rather provide services for equipment they manufactured in other countries. And there is also machinery, automotive and transportation, aviation, healthcare choices that could be applicable too. I feel it is stupid to define industry as Other.
2) On a related note - in case of global company branch - I indicate a number of people working in the branch, right?
3) Another issue is to choose job function - I was in finance director/CFO role for most of the organizations I worked for, but there is no finance director/CFO role:
what is applicable is Accounting/Controller but a the same time, Finance Treasury is applicable too as I was supervising treasury as well and General Management is a good choice too as I was part of top management! which role to indicate?
I will sincerely appreciate your responses and give a kudo plus100 points to karma for every response

You are overthinking this in my opinion. Your resume is going to tell the school what you do, and what your level of responsibility is. The drop down is just a general idea for their book keeping and class profile

Why then they ask for filling online industry and job function for every job that I ever had in my 17 years of experience? Only current job really gets to a class profile..
