Teresa in Raynham Center, Massachusetts 65 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 (98) / No (12) Reply - Report abuse
Unemployed Property Manager in West Palm Beach, Florida 65 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 (25) / No (2) Reply - Report abuse
RG in North Hollywood, California 49 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 18 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 (7) / No Reply - Report abuse
Lys in South Richmond Hill, New York 18 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 (2) / No (1) Reply - Report abuse
HR Uncovered in Seattle, Washington 18 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?

Regina in Bronx, New York 11 months ago	In my situation, I went back to the same company years later however I had another title. How would I list that on my resume. Do I list the same company twice, with others jobs in between, or just change the dates? - Was this comment helpful? Yes / No Reply - Report abuse
Linda in Wake Forest, North Carolina 8 months ago	I had the same situation - the resume writer i hired put the company once with the two dates listed. Kind of like this (for some reason indeed thinks its vulgar when i put it in the formatting the way it is on my resume??... so i had to modify it slightly): Position, company May 2001 - July 2004; Jan 2006- Aug 2011 - Was this comment helpful?
