@CW best ways to express that in a book in a way that comes across as honest rather than formulaic​? Even as a writer, I feel talk is cheap, especially on a digital medium where you're attempting to sell yourself. How can I express those sentiments without crossing into "Humble Brag" territory? Quick sentiments - I don't want to trouble you for your entire playbook :)

Don't mention anything that's already listed on your resume. If you won some awards for your student work, it's OK to list them. Just don't point it out during the interview. And don't ever utter the words "this was my idea."

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry.

I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?
