I have been with my current company for five years, and in those years I have trained for thirteen different positions. Some of these were beginning positions that have passed by the way, but most of them are positions I hold right now. Each is different, has it's one set of qualifications, skills, and duties; though none if full time. Management has consistently asked me to take on these roles as they know that I will follow through and complete the  assignments. I am currently acting as Front End Manager, an Assistant Department manager, In-Store Recruiter, Training Mentor, in the cash office, and am training for yet another position- to say nothing of the other positions I have on my record. So with just five years, and all with the same company, how do I write all of this into my resume? Whatever I do, I'm afraid it will be over a page, but I want to demonstrate my ability to solve problems, be reliable, and multi-task and am thusly reluctant to leave anything out.

Hi Sindaiel,

You've had amazing cross-training opportunities with this employer! You can definitely use this to your advantage on your resume -- the ability to multitask is applicable to every industry, and also speaks to your flexibility and willingness to take on various responsibilities.

The best way to present the information on your resume depends on your career goal. The most effective strategy will be to emphasize the jobs, responsibilities, and accomplishments that are most relevant to your goal. So if you are targeting a position in training, you can bring that aspect of your work to the forefront and focus on your training job duties and accomplishments.

No matter what you emphasize, it's a good idea to have an introductory statement explaining your various roles (e.g., Entrusted by management to handle multiple roles and responsibilities including front-end manager, assistant department manager, etc).

You can also break your bulleted list of accomplishments into categories, like this:

Selected Accomplishments:
* Recruitment & Training: List major accomplishments...
* Department Management: List major accomplishments...
* Front-End Management: List major accomplishments...

It's okay to go to two pages if necessary.

Thank you very much for your advice, I found it to be quite useful. After reading your post and the included article I decided to go with the bullet point list for my positions and accomplishments. I was called for an interview, which is scheduled for tomorrow,  after submitting my resume. I have been rehearsing possible answers and hope that it goes well.

Thank you again,
