Re: Resume help

Perhaps you could put down any accomplishments you acheived.
Or any new procedures you implemented while you were there.

Re: Resume help

All you can do is write what you've done. It'll be obvious when people see your starting date that this is the reason why you don't have much listed. Don't worry.....

Re: Resume help

So it is the same company doing the same thing - is it for the same dept or group? If so, I would just have the date ranges reflect the time you worked there and leave it as one job on your resume.

Re: Resume help

Similar to what Christine was saying I would do....except I think she expressed it better than I did above.

I think it will look off if you separate it out and you are doing the same thing for the same people at the same place -also monotonous and take up valuable space where you can be highlighting other achievements.

Re: Resume help

I agree with putting it all together...actually on my teaching resume...I list all the teaching jobs ...then I put all my duties grouped together (b/c teaching is teaching)

also make sure to use very active verbs....and include anything that you improved for the company...
