[QUOTE="Abbie Whitlock, post: 222741, member: 42112"] Hey! Try not to panic (easier said than done, I know!) - it doesn't seem like you have made a faux pas! The fact that you mentioned a "demotion" and framed it as something you handled positively actually shows a lot of maturity and self-awareness. As you mentioned, since the demotion was due to business needs and not your performance, it reflects more on circumstances rather than anything you did wrong. By adapting, adding value, and even earning recognition in the process, you have showed that you can turn something that could sound negative into a clear example of resilience and professionalism. It's this kind of reflection that the firm will be looking for in your application. It seems like you've done the right thing - try to remain confident about it and don't overthink the wording. I hope that helps! :) [/QUOTE]
