When your interviewer at Allergan sees what they feel is a slow career progression on your resume, they will immediately want to determine whether this is by your own choice, outside circumstances, or a lack of motivation to create growth. They bluntly propose this question to hear your thoughts on your career progression.

"I agree with you that my career progression has been slower than some. You will see that between 2010 and 2015, I worked for the same company without a promotion in my job title. The company was too small to offer a promotion to me as the next level was ownership, and the business wasn't for sale. I'm very confident that my growth since joining my current organization has been steady, but those years early in my career were a bit of a standstill for me. I am ready to spring into action now and forge ahead in my career at Allergan."

"I'm honestly happy with the way my career has progressed. I'm the type of person who seeks to master my skills and knowledge in a job and become the best at what I do. I also feel that my work has been meaningful and has always given me a sense of accomplishment."

Before your interview with Allergan, take some time to consider the career progression that has led you to this interview. If your career has progressed slower than you wish, try to be honest with the interviewer when discussing why you feel it has been slow. If you are perfectly content with your career progression, talk about the fact that you have felt accomplished in all you have done up to this point in your career.
