You can use a number of headings here: "Professional Experience," or "Professional History," they both work well. Shy away from using: "Work History," or just "Employment."

 

These are not as effective and they don't look as professional.

 

To focus your reader, list all jobs held in reverse chronological order. Concentrate on giving good detail about your most current positions and offer only limited information about the jobs held earlier on. In many cases, you can write a simple statement to sum up holding several jobs earlier on.

 

Decide which you want to highlight more, your job titles or the names of the companies you worked for. The one you wish to highlight is listed first and then the next follows.

 

Example:

 

Dow Chemical Petroleum, Ltd. - Product Engineer

Product Engineer - Dow Chemical Petroleum, Ltd.
