Resume help

post #1 of 11
Thread Starter 

If you held more than one position at a job, do you list each position or the final position held?  For example, I started at a bank as the Front desk receptionist/executive assistant to the president then moved to Administrative Assistant and then to a position in Sales Support. 

 

 

Thanks

I agree, list each position held under one heading though.

It would depend on the position to which I was applying. If it was a sales support position, that would be what I would list - giving lots of space for achievements / accomplishments. If I were applying to a position as admin, I'd list the other positions, too.

Thank you.  I haven't done my resume in (gulp) 17 years.  dd is 9.5 and I worked at my last job for 8 years.  I'm considering working part time as a school secretary 3.5hrs a day and 10 month school year.

I worked at 3 different stores and held a total of 3 different positions. I listed my positions at each location under the main company name. 

 

Books a million 

123 book street, birminham al 12345

        Merrillville, IN 12356  1/1992 to 3/1994

               jr assistant manager. Duties include merchandising, cash management, crew supervision

        Dayton, OH 12367  3/1994 to 5/1995

               general manager. Duties include marketing, merchandising, store level human resources, cash management, 

        Indianapolis, IN 12378 5/1995 to 2/1998

               general manager. Duties include marketing, merchandising, store level human resources, cash management, manager training

 

 

Obviously cleaned up a bit but that is basically how it was. I had gotten help from a resume consultant.

I would then show your admin skills but don't highlight too much advancement since they want someone who will be happy to stay in the same position for a very long time.

 

You can do a "skills resume" which lists all your skills and experience first, then at the bottom do a quick list of your experience. Here is an example of my skills resume. Keep in mind formatting is needed and I'd modify this resume depending on the application. A resume is just a foot in the door. You can clarify during the interview.

I agree!  Sounds great!  :)  I also think you would list all positions, but bullet point them beneath the company name and dates employed.

Good luck!  If you know anyone in the school district, make sure they know you are applying.  I have found that most schools hire who they know.  Hope you get it!
