My position for the XYZ company can, I think, be classified primarily as specialist in nature – say 75% of my duties and responsibilities. In this position I made much use of my specialty certificate that I hold in my field and which is held by few in my profession. I was the only individual holding the position for XYZ, and the position performed a function unique in the organization.
But there was also a senior aspect of the position – say 25% of the total duties and responsibilities. I supervised one person, assuring that their actions were consistent with standards of practice in our profession. It was considered a management position for XYZ . Furthermore, the changes to organization policy and procedure which I recommended and which were implemented impacted about 30 other staff members, even though I was not directly supervising them. I initiated and led ad hoc committees concerned with new challenges to the organization – in other words, I lead project groups and made significant contributions to policy and procedure which allowed the organization to adapt to the many changes in its industry.
In your opinions, is it wise for me to claim that the position falls into both specialist and senior categories for work experience? Or would it be more straightforward and less confusing for me to claim just one or the other? I am hesitant to say that it was specialist in nature only, because the “senior” aspects of the position, while not the greater part of my duties and responsibilities, did comprise a meaningful part of what the job consisted of…
I am able to provide a employer letter confirming that there were duties and responsibiliites in the position which do place it in both categories.
Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated... :
