There are a few standards that employers expect you to follow as you begin to write your Experience section.
- Do not list more than five jobs, anymore than this and your resume will appear crowded. If you have worked many jobs, choose the positions that are the most relevant to the job for which you are applying. But, attempt to avoid exposing an employment gap if you find you have one.
- As you describe a company or organization for which you have previously worked, only include the company name, city, and state where it resides. The full street address is not typically listed here.
- List the job title that you held at your previous position.
-
Unless you are attempting to cover up an employment gap, list the months and years that you worked for the company.
For example: January 2022 - Present. - Next, the program will ask you to enter information into the Descriptions and Duties box. Keep this short, no more than twelve words, and list these descriptions in bulleted form. Write about your skills and accomplishments during your time that you worked at the company, focus on the best information you can think of to really impress your reader. Write about significant accomplishments or improvements you made to the company such as "increased sales for the quarter by 25%."
- If you wish to change the order of the jobs that you entered for your employment history, You do not have to retype the data. Use the Display Position drop-down box to select the numerical order that you would like the job listings to appear.
