Five Resume Revisions for Better Results

1. When you list your work experience, your job title should appear on the first line, above the name of the employer. For example, Project Manager appears on line one. The dates of employment may be on the same line at the right margin. On the second line, write the name of the employer. If the employer is a familiar name, then all you need is the location, e.g., U.S. Forest Service, Boise ID. If the employer is not a familiar name, provide a short descriptive phrase, such as, "worldwide manufacturer of linens."

2. If you held several positions at the same place of employment, collapse them into a single section. For example, if you were a warehouse supervisor, sales trainee, and then sales manager, you don’t need three separate sections. Places dates in parentheses for each position and write a brief description for the most recent position.
