Listing Work Experience on Application

[sda619]

Hey guys I have 6 strong years of work experience at the same company. Is it better to itemize each positions as a "job" or should I just list one employer with my current senior analyst title.

Can anyone help?

Im applying to Marshall if that helps any.

If you've been promoted inside the same company, we recommend you group your bullet points under the relevant job title, listing your current title first. Organizing the section for each job in this way will allow admission officers to see quickly that you've been promoted and will demonstrate that your responsibilities have increased over time. As a rule of thumb, you will want to choose anywhere from 3-6 bullets per position. Your goal is to highlight the key achievements in each phase of your career. IF you don't feel like there are enough bullet points for each job title, consider grouping two or more together on the same resume line with the dates next to the title in parentheses. For example, Analyst(2008 - 2009); Junior Analyst (2007 - 2008)

thank you very much. I'm definitely going to use this.

On a seperate note. How do I list out the prior names of a company that has gone through mergers. My company's prior name had a more recognizable name.

I have seen a couple of approaches:

Cool Startup (now part of Microsoft)
Microsoft (formerly Cool Startup)
