    CV Help - show num of extensions ?

    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.

      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.

        I have not thought about this until now.

        Must agree with Cojak.

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

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

              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!!

                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.
