I have roughly 9 years of IT experience. I’m applying for a director position (with probably 3-4 managers reporting to me, each with 4-8 people reporting to them). This would definitely be a big step up in responsibility for me, but I feel I’m ready for the challenge.

I’ve been largely a technical lead in the past. I’ve handled interviews and budgeting, but I’m concerned that since I have’t been “strictly a manager” for 5+ years, that I won’t be considered.

According to the job requirements, they want a “big picture thinker”, and all the other traits fit me perfect. However, I know I’m skinny on the pure management piece, which is supposedly 20% of the job.

I don’t want to exaggerate my resume, but I want to make sure I phrase information about my team and project leadership in a way that makes me seem as experienced in management as possible.

Any tips?
