Adding promotions to your CV?

[Deleted User]

I was planning on updating my CV and I was wondering how people put promotions on theirs. I've had promotions in 2 jobs, but never know how to put it since my job title has changed

Any tips would be appreciated...

On my CV I have just put "FirstJobTitle/PromotedJobTitle, Name of Company" with a little explanation in the description of responsibilities where needed.

I don't bother putting in the promotions - I use the latest title and make sure that the brief blurb about my responsibilities etc make it obvious that I had a lot of responsibilities...

having said that though, I would definitely mention it in an interview (in a subtle way)

I would always put a promotion in - it shows that you have progressed through a company.

I would put job title 2/company and the blurb and in the blurb, promoted from job title 1.
job title 1/company and the blurb.

I have never put promotions in, because the job titles have changed enough to show that there has been some progression, e.g. from assistant to supervisor.
Although I would always emphasise the extra responsibility (and reward) that came with each job

Right, i've decided to just put my latest job title in

The first 20 years of my working life were spent with one employer so every time I moved offices I started a new section on my CV to stress a different element of the job and/or promotion.

See. now i've been working for 5 years, had 2 employers and had a promotion in each job.

My dad's never written a CV as he's only ever worked for one firm

Agreed. Thats exactly what I do. And it has been positively commented on at interview several times too.

I've only had one previous job but I listed it as two because I was a sales assistant first and then supervisor after. Perhaps if you've had lots and lots of jobs/promotions it's not neccesaryto lists them all but if you've not had many jobs I would.

For duties as a supervisor I wrote "as sales assistant and..." then i only wrote my new duties. For sales assistant I had listed all my basic duties which I continued to do as superviser anyway.
