CV Question

[CrouchingWayne]

Hey guys, quick question on CV's as I do a general update:

What is best practice for when a job title changes, but generally the work is the same as the previous role? For example if I changed from Accountant to Senior Financial and Management Accountant (not the case, but a good example) how would I document that?

First thoughts are lead with the new title and have a point below noting the prior title and dates, but not sure if this would appear misleading?

I just put my last/current/best title otherwise it gets too busy and generally title changes are pretty inconsequential. You could always talk it through in interview.

Saying that, if it is a significant change in roll then I'd list them as separate jobs. So

2000 to 2001 - Call centre agent for ABC Corp.
2001 to 2005 - CEO

Great, thanks. I've got 4 roles at one company, two fairly separate then two more or less the same with a title change. As you say I've put the most up to date title in and just caveated that it was previously something else. Cheers

Unless it's relevant to the new role being applied for, just include the current title. Superfluous words on a CV are a detriment.
