Upgrade from Associate to Chartered Member

Hi everyone

I completed my level 7 diploma in HRM in 2016, and feel I have been working at Chartered level for some time. Could anyone offer some advice on what is expected from the CV? I ask because I submitted my CV for screening, which included projects I'd led, relevant roles, achievements etc and the response I got was:

It is difficult to suggest if your experience is going to be sufficient to upgrade. If you could update your details to more accurately reflect your key areas of responsibility and accountability in your recent role together with visible timelines ensuring that the last three years are documented, it would be very helpful. 

Should I have put dates next to my projects and stated 'responsible and accountable' next to those relevant bits?

I will give the helpline a call, just wondering beforehand if anyone has had this.

Thanks, Tracey
