Handle Being Passed Over for a Promotion
Added 2026-11-02
Get feedback, define the gap, then decide whether to wait or leave.
I was passed over for a promotion (context below). Help me: 1) draft a short meeting request asking for the specific gap, without emotion; 2) list three questions — the basis for the decision, the evidence I am missing, the next cycle; 3) give a follow-up line if the answer is vague; 4) separate the criteria for "wait one more cycle" from "start looking outside"; 5) one line to keep for myself so I do not decide in anger.

How to use
被跳过时最该要的是反馈，不是解释。
Try tweaking it
- Rewrite each experience as action + result + verifiable number.
- Have it gather the job requirements first, then rewrite against them.
What you should get
- Rewritten bullets: action, result, number
- Likely follow-up questions and how to answer
Common mistakes
- Asking it to "optimise the CV", and every line starts sounding like a template.
- Adding projects you never did — it falls apart in the first interview.
How to check the output
- Each line is action + result + number, and you can defend the details.
- Nothing you did not actually do has been added.
Where it works
- Good for: rewriting experience as action + result + verifiable metric for CVs and interviews.
- Watch out: metrics must be real; AI can phrase them, not invent them.
