I'm filling out the applications, and have a few fields I'm not sure how to answer.
1) Promotion Date
I currently do not work for the company, and I don't remember the date of my promotion. Can I just make a close estimate?
2) Nature of Employer's Activities?
What's the difference between "nature of employer's activities" and "industry"?
3) Reasons for Leaving?
My reason for leaving the company wasn't negative, but wasn't very positive either. I did quit by choice to pursue something else. I know that in a job interview, I shouldn't bad-mouth a former employer, so how should I answer this field in the application?
4) School Distinctions and Honors include Dean's List?
Is being on the Dean's List considered a school distinction? It has also been a number of years since I graduate so is this even relevent?
5) Primary Job Responsibility?
Since I was an engineer, my primary job responsibilities were largely technical rather than managerial/business oriented. I'm not sure how this fact reflects to the adcom.
6) Language Proficiency?
I'm a bit on the fence about how I should catagorize my skills in two non-native languages. I can certainly carry lengthy, daily, casual conversations in those languages, but my skills would be lacking during a formal, business/technical situation. Can I still say my skills are excellent, or should I downgrade them to good?
