joblooking in Massachusetts

3 months ago

Hi, I have been at the same place for about 15 years but I have moved up and have worked in about 6 different departments along the way. Each time though was to upgrade my position.
Before this I had one other job at a different business. How do I put that in a resume?
If I put I've been at the same place for 15 years it looks like I've been doing the same thing all that time. So in essence there would only be 2 jobs posted on my resume.

Do I put my current place of employment with my current dept. for 15 years?
Do I list my previous depts? Too many too list?

thanks for any and all input!!!

I think I'd do a heading showing the years you were there and then sub headings underneath it detailing each position you've held and the responsibilities.

You can include the first job you had underneath all of that, but I'd make it a short entry.
