resume question
 

Originally, I was a trade analyst. Now, I am a senior trade analyst. I basically do the same things, but I have more responsibility and I have to give some direction to the regular trade analysts. How should this be handled on a resume that I will be using to apply for jobs outside the company I currently work for. One entry or two under job experience?

Re: resume question
 

you got to be a senior trade analyst and you don't know the answer to this? obviously two entries

Re: resume question
 

Two separate jobs deserve two separate headings with different job functions/duties. I would personally change your title from Trade Analyst to something different, then make the newest job title Senior Trade Analyst.

Hey I worked for a few different jobs, should I list them separately on my resume or just have one prior employer and call it "job" ?

Your Mom,

My suggestion given what you've described is to keep the experience under the same header but just list the different titles. Something like:

COMPANY NAME[tab to center]October 2001-Present[tab to right margin]Phoenix, AZ
Sr. Trade Analyst[tab]May 2006 - Present
Trade Analyst[tab]October 2001-May 2006

Then list your Sr. responsibility first, then back through the rest of the stuff.

That's a bit TMI on the formatting I guess, but the point is I recommend consolidating titles under a single company header rather than breaking them out, particularly if the roles are so similar. The point is to try to make your job history look as stable as possible.

When I was a recruiter, it would look more valuable to have two different jobs within a company rather then being promoted from one to the next. Here is a good example:

Support Analyst
Control Analyst
