For example, say you were a store manager and a district trainer at the same time. How should you show that on your resume? There are 4 ways it could be done:
1 - Show both on the same line STORE MANAGER & DISTRICT TRAINER (Jan 2010 - Present) Accountability as a store manager and district trainer...
This is the best option if you're short on space (remember, try to limit your resume to two pages whenever possible). If you use this option, it's best if the dates for both positions are the same so you don't misrepresent yourself. 2 - Show them on separate lines STORE MANAGER (Jan 2010 - Present) DISTRICT TRAINER (Aug 2011 - Present) Accountability as a store manager and district trainer...
This is a better option if the dates aren't the same. This option also gives the second position more prominence than the first option - rather than being buried in the middle of the line, it has its own separate line and is more likely to get noticed. 3 - Show them as completely separate jobs STORE MANAGER (Jan 2010 - Present) Accountability as a store manager...
DISTRICT TRAINER (Aug 2011 - Present) Accountability as a district trainer....
This is a better option if the second position is noteworthy and deserves to be situated on its own, or if it's complex or distinct enough that your accountability and achievements from that position need to be separated from your other position. 4 - Show the secondary position as a bullet only STORE MANAGER (Jan 2010 - Present) Accountability as a store manager...
This may be a better option if the second position isn't major or something you want your resume to focus on. For example, if you were appointed leader of a project group, that may not be prominent enough to be considered a second "position."
