Multiple titles in the same organization

[VimalCherangattu]

Hi team,

So here is my situation:

I worked with company ABC as Sr. Executive Marketing for 6 months

I then moved to XYZ, worked as Asst. Project Manager for 1.5 years
In the same company I was promoted as Marketing Manager and it's been around 3.5 years now
While creating the profile I mentioned ABC's experience and XYZ's experience as Marketing Manager for 5 years. But now I think adding ABC would add unnecessary processing delay. So I plan to remove that and add to my personal history.
And XYZ HR has given me a letter that states my designation as Marketing Manager and there is no mention of my previous designation. The joining letter however mentions that designation. I am also attaching a letter that shows my promotion.
However, I am planning to mention (claim points) for only the last 3.5 years. As in, in the work history section I plan to say July 2016-current Marketing Manager and in personal history maintain everything. I also plan to attach an LoE stating the same

Here is the LoE content:
I wanted to bring to your kind notice that my HR did not agree to mention the designation I held before my current designation of Marketing Manager

My designation back then was that of Assistant Project Manager when I joined gupshup. This is verifiable in the offer letter and confirmation letter enclosed. You can also note I was promoted to being a Marketing Manager in the increment and promotional letter of 2016. I’ve held the same position ever since

Also, please note that I am not claiming points for the Assistant Project Manager role and the role I held at another organization by the name of IMS learning Resources Pvt. Ltd. I have hence removed them post ITA.

If you need any more detail regarding this, I am always available for clarification


Is that ok? Will this be a problem?

I speak about this from personal experience, so no - it is not likely to be a problem.
If you hold multiple positions within an organization, its fine to provide a single work reference/ experience letter. This letter should sequentially list the positions held by the employee, along with their respective duration. Even better if they correspond to the same NOC, as you can club the roles and responsibilities and state that you performed more 'supervisory' or 'managerial' aspects of the role in the senior position.
In my case, my company provided me such a letter and I got my PR.

But you state that your company lists only your current designation so there will be an evident mismatch between the Work Reference letter and supporting documentation (such as your work contract or appointment letter). In this case, I would recommend the following:

1. Retain and include the letter provided to you by your Company in its present form.
2. Include a letter of explanation and state all the facts about the designations held during your tenure with them. Also, highlight that the duties performed in both roles align with the same NOC.
3. Include email correspondence to show that your Company refused to include your previous designation (If you dont have such email correspondence, then send an email now and get their refusal in writing - only for documentation purposes)
4. Include your Appointment letter and your Promotion letter that promoted you to your current role. Make sure the dates, increased salary, employee benefits are highlighted.
5. Include scanned copies of any of the following for both designations - visiting cards, pay stubs, company ID etc...

This should be sufficient to convince the Assessing Officer of your situation and the validity of your work experience.
Good luck!
