How to handle promotions at a job on your resume?

Hey all,

So my question is as the title states. How have you in the past handled promotions on resumes? I would think that just listing the promoted title for the entire length of the job would be a bit disingenuous. Do you make another entry on your resume as a job or list it in any descriptive text you may have for the job?

Just listing your highest title at that company is fine. If you work as an intermediate for 2 years, then are promoted to senior for 2 years, just put down "senior" on your resume. Don't make it more complicated than need be!

list each job description separately with the amount of time you were in that position.

If your job description changed dramatically, definitely make two separate entries. If you're short on space and the work you did didn't really change, it's also fine to do something like:

Awesome Game Company
Associate Environment Artist, May 2018-June 2019
Environment Artist, June 2019-Present

• Then list your responsibilities and accomplishments under the combined heading.
• Like this.
• And this.

i would say do it as it would appear on linked in, you add your first job at a company there and add the next level once you are there. you usually do not update the initial entry
