"Currently, I supervise 12 employees with an overall portfolio responsibility of 24M. I managed 23 employees in my previous role with a smaller portfolio of 6MM. I feel comfortable handling a large range of employees and have enjoyed the mentorship opportunities these leadership positions have offered me."

"Although I did not officially supervise anyone in my most recent position, I always looked for opportunities to lead or mentor the junior staff. I volunteered in a company-wide program that pairs new hires with employees who have been at the company for at least a few years. I appreciated having the opportunity to get lunch with a new hire every week and share advice with him as he settled into the new role."

Speak openly about the level of responsibility you hold in your current position, keeping in mind that leadership can come in various forms and is not limited to formal supervisory roles. While you may not lead a team or manage others yet in your career, you should be able to discuss a time you led a project or showed initiative in a particular endeavor. If you have formal managerial experience, be as specific as possible when describing it.
