Resume Tips - Writing Employment Details and the Use of Your Job Title

Source: www.professional-resumes.com

As you begin on the main body of your resume you must concentrate on your current and previous work history.

Include the name of your employer and as previously detailed the dates of your employment within the company.

Your job title should be reflective of the position you are currently employed in rather than perhaps a more junior position that perhaps you began in earlier in your career with your current employer.

Examples as follows: Administrative Assistant rather than Secretary.
Manufacturing Engineer rather than Associate Engineer.

Your job title must reflect the position you are seeking otherwise your resume will be quickly discarded in favour of another. Having said this ensure that you do not misrepresent yourself or your capabilities.

It is not necessary to include the full address of previous employers on your resume. The employer name, city and state are adequate.
