I'm currently out of work - or is it in between contracts!? Anyway, using the time to give my CV an overhaul as its losing its focus and just wondered if many others detail the number of extensions/renewals ? I just tend to put the month start/end date, buy maybe the num of extensions/renewals (providing I limit the space used) is worth adding, thoughts ??

I add the number of extensions, but I know that not everyone does."I can put any old tat in my sig, put quotes around it and attribute to someone of whom I've heard, to make it sound true."

Probably doesn't do any harm to add them and certainly doesn't take up too much room.
July 01 - Feb 03 / 5 extensions.
Personally I don't. Maybe I should but I've never bothered to count.Comment

Yeah I include it on my cv - mainly cos I seem to spend my life batting backwards and forwards between two clients.Comment

It can't do any harm, I also make clear in the description if I'm returning to a previous client.Comment

It could do some harm - I tend to work on fixed length projects, extensions implies that the project was delayed and I don't want to be associated with late deliveries!!Coffee's for closersComment

People know the score - the odd one of 3 months is fine, but if every one is that long (barring certin types of work) then it tends to look bad. If you stayed a year, that says something different.
I wouldn't put them on, let them see the dates and work it out.Comment
