Do you think there's a tipping point when you're telling your story (example - updating your bullet points) where your actual achievements over a long career come across as unrealistic?

I've had a significant impact across several organizations, and I try to outline it in writing. However, when I read through it, I wonder if it's believable to a younger hiring manager who hasn't had the same experience.

So true. Getting promoted is not about filling the "Checklist" or doing great at your task, which are defined in the job description. It's all about finding the next growth lever for the business.

If you find a business opportunity that gives your team a positive ROI and you have proved yourself that you can execute, everything is possible.
