How Do I List Two Unrelated Concurrent Jobs on My Resume?

by Matt
(Kansas City)

I am currently working two jobs. One is a full-time job and the other part-time. I am looking to move into the part-time field which is completely different from my full-time job. How do I list them on my resume?

Do I list my full time job first? I have been at my full-time job from 2003-present and my part-time job from 2008-present. Thank you for your help!

How to List Two Similar Jobs?

by Jennifer
(FL)

How do I differentiate job roles & responsibilities in 2 very similar jobs? I am trying to update my resume with my latest job description; however my roles and responsibilities are very similar (in fact, should be almost identical) to my last job, despite the 2 positions having different titles.

How can I put both jobs on my resume without 2 identical lists of roles/ responsibilities/ accomplishments.

How do I list a job that I used to work at but returned to after 4 years?

I used to work at a job 4 years ago. I left and just recently returned. Would I list this job last, or would I list this job first (because it is my current job) and just include my older working dates along with my current working dates? Thanks!

How do you list two different but concurrent jobs in the same company?

by Laura
(Kansas City)

I currently have 2 job titles at the same company. One I started in 2008 and the other in 2009. As far as formatting goes, should I combine them or separate them with the most recent on top. My fear with separating them, is the employers will think it is a mistake when it says 2008-present and 2009-present.

ANSWER: If the 2 positions are really very different, then I'd list them separately and explain the concurrent dates in your cover letter. But if the positions are similar, then you might just list them both under the employer together, with a combined list of responsibilities/achievements.

To your success,
Kathi
