    Updating CV question

    I worked several years ago for a company and now I have worked for them again doing the same job, I am in the process of updating my CV and can't think of how to word it when listing the same job again.

    I list all my contracts in order with month/year, I like it this way and has always worked for me and don't want to use the other method some people use working as I do.

    At the moment I just have them both on there with the same job details. I don't want to put the 2 different dates next to the current role and take the other out as I think it will get confusing further down when there is a gap and agents are not always bright as to understand why.

    Has anyone gone back to an old contract? How have you worded it on your CV. I read some good advice on here on how to word very short contracts so was hoping someone might be able to do the same on repeat contracts.

    I had the same problem and to save repeating the same activities and tasks for both assignments, on the earlier one I just put the comment:
    • Details as later assignment, above

        I have had the same. I list them as two separate entities in date order. When I put all my roles down I put a brief of what I done and the technologies used, sometimes you cannot put all the technologies used so in this case I put for example:

        ClientCo
        Working within the managed services department supporting numerous companies infrastructure and BAU support and incident requests including supporting a Windows 7 migration. Technical Environment was Exchange 2003/7, Active Directory, Citrix XenDesktop, Xenapp, Cisco call manager, BES, MDM, BYOD, VPN, EPOS systems, Windows 7/XP, Outlook, Lotus Notes,

        and the latest

        ClientCo

        Technical Environment is: Windows Server 2003/8, Windows 7/XP/2000, AD, Citrix XenDesktop, Citrix Xenapp, Exchange, Backup Exec, Outlook, Lotus Notes, MDM, BYOD, EPOS.
