Moving up

A resume for a promotion is mostly about what you already do that your title does not say.

It looks for what you already run

What changes when this is where you are

The questions are written for the job you name. These are the ones that change because you are aiming above where you are.

  • Your jobs go in order, newest first.
  • You are not asked which days you can work. This is full-time work.
  • It looks for the parts of the higher job you already do, so the step up reads as earned.

Nothing here is a setting you have to find. It is how the questions come out when you choose this.

What you already run

What Rung draws out

You are already doing part of the job you want. The questions are about naming that part.

  • What you run today that is bigger than your title says
  • People you train, decisions you make, money you handle
  • The job you are aiming at
