Hi,

I am trying to get my resume to look the best it can, for the past four years I've had an interesting job situation.

I have worked for basically the same company but they have gone through several name changes and I have had several different supervisors. All while with the mostly the same boss.

The history -
Epic Productions 2009-2010
Five Star Productions 2010-2012
Vstar Productions 2012 Jan-June
SW Group 2012 August-current (freelancing)

Again this is all the same company going through name and supervisor changes.
What is the best way to list this on my resume, to look good. Do I list it all out? or Just the most current name and say four years? Also because of money, they couldn't afford to keep me on salary so now I am freelancing, should mention that? Would it seem good or bad that I am more free to move to a new job?

Also I am going to be applying in the video production field, in case that helps. And before this job I worked at a company called Silver Productions for 2 years, and that's all my experience.

Thank you for any suggestions, anything and everything is helpful!

Hi aimees22,

I would create one listing for this employer, something like this:

SW Group (previously known as Vstar Productions, Five Star Productions and Epic Productions)
Job Title, 8/2012 to Present

In the description, you can state that you are currently freelancing.
Best wishes,
Kim Isaacs
