Teresa in Raynham Center, Massachusetts 49 months ago	I worked at a company for 2 years then left and went to another company. That job did not work out and so i went back to the other company. Do I list it twice with different dates or should I only list it once. I am not sure what to do - Was this comment helpful? Yes (1) / No Reply - Report abuse
Unemployed Property Manager in West Palm Beach, Florida 49 months ago	I would list it. Tell them that you were more comfortable in a position that you were better suited for and the company was delighted to have you back with them. Not too many companies welcome a former employee back. That shows you are a valued employee. Check out FORUMS for Property Manager - we are discussing resumes and the proper procedures. Lots of info and you can ask the same question at that forum. - Was this comment helpful? Yes (14) / No Reply - Report abuse
RG in North Hollywood, California 33 months ago	How do you list it on your resume if you have worked at a company twice? Do you make a reference in the date section such as "previously employed" and include dates? Or do you use another section for your previous employment at that company? - Was this comment helpful?

Gopi K in Phoenix, Arizona 2 months ago	I would list the company once and then have two different dates showing that you worked there two different times. This will probably bring up a question about it during your interview where you can explain it in more detail. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Lys in South Richmond Hill, New York 2 months ago	List it twice. It shows a few things for you in your favor..1. You're employed, always a good thing. 2., It shows that youre a good employee that they took you back, like Unemployed said. You would list it like this: Company X....from Current Date to Present Then the same thing, with different dates. You would have the other job that didn't work out in the middle of these two, so you're listing it in chronological order. - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
HR Uncovered in Seattle, Washington 2 months ago	If your title was the same, try the following approach (I made up some dates for the sake of making my point clear): Title – Company Name (2000 – 2002 / 2004 – Present) Brief overview of your role... • Achievement • Achievement • Achievement Title – Company Name (2002 – 2004) Brief overview of your role... • Achievement • Achievement • Achievement Don't hesitate to reach out if you need more help.

I am not sure what to do Yes, list it twice and the years you were there, otherwise it will look as if you were working two full time jobs at once. - Was this comment helpful?
