Yours will not say this. You choose what matches your experience, and every line remains yours to confirm or change.
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

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
Nothing to write from scratch
