"I agree that my career progression has been slower than some. You will see that between 2001 to 2009, I worked for the same company without an increase in my job title. The company was too small to offer a promotion because the next level was ownership, and the business wasn't for sale. After this, from 2009 to 2012, I was on leave to care for my ailing parents. The growth since returning to work has been steady, but those years were a bit of a standstill for me. I am ready to spring into action now and forge ahead in my career."
