Only most recent job and education on resume?

If I had one part time job in 2004-2005, and a full time job from 2006-2008, and that was the last job I had, should I put both jobs on resume or only the most recent?

Same question with college education. If I attended a community college in 2008-2010, and university in 2010-2012 (B.S. in accounting), should I only include the most recent place of education (Uni)?

I thought it would be more considerate of me to save prospective employers about 0.12 seconds of the time it takes to scan over my resume before tossing it in the waste basket.

I don't know what's the norm in the US, but here in Switzerland it is usual to put everything in it. The thing is: If you start having gaps, it looks like you were chilling in this time and doing nothing which makes you seem lazy. Usually we also list some major projects we made during our work in that company. So the new Lead software developer we hired a few weeks ago sent us 14 pages in total ^^

So typically, you want to list all relevant work experience, but remember, employers typically don't like to see gaps in work / education, if there are gaps, be sure you have a good explanation. Also, you do not need to list all college education unless you earned a degree. If you didn't get a degree from community college then don't list it, simply list your B.S. in accounting and where you got your degree from.

Yes, you should actually FILL OUT your job application.

Your bachelor's degree overwrites your time in community college; if it was an associate's degree. If you were a certified electrician or something you could put your cc in there.

Then make sure you list all relevant work experience.

If you don't have anything that relates to what you are applying for, then yeah go ahead and put your previous jobs in there to fill in any gaps in employment.

If you had any volunteer work or intern work related to what your applying to I would put that in as well.

Also try to keep it 1 page and have a separate references page.

I wrote about my education. Tried to write a lot so it looks better, but they somehow knew that I am worried by one matter and that's can I pay someone to write my essay and it is really what's bothering me. I need some help and I am not afraid of asking for it. My advice to you is that you need to be honest in your resume, they value honesty, believe me. Your experience matters, so try to write about everything equally. You can also write about your personal accomplishments, I'm sure that they will be impressed!

At least in my country keep your resume within 1 page only. Highlight your top achievements.

I usually mix and match my relevant trades and experience according to the job I am applying to. If the most recent job I had is not relevant to the type of work that I am applying to, I am not going to use it. As far as education goes, it is most important to show your highest level of education.

I don’t sweat it. I filled out a full fledged pdf. Explained the work place harassment, the length of time, explained the history and who was involved, and they were rather understanding. So yes I think if there are gaps in any corporate job, it is important to explain in great detail.

I have an absence of any work history from age 21-41 due to a disease and depression I've been battling during this period. I just got my CPhT certificate, and now that I'm trying to build a resume, I have nothing to put in it aside my accreditation. There some menial work I did as well as some college here and there through those years, but nothing that really amounted to anything. I don't know how employers are going to react, or if they're even going to give me a second look.

List relevant information first.

It's important, most times, to keep your resume to a single page.

Use your cover letter for any explaining, but stay positive. Don't point your work absence, instead point out anything you did during that time; travel, volunteer work, additional education...be like "After leaving ______ I took some time to do ____________ which added to my abilities and skills by ____________ and _________".

Be short and to the point, be positive about yourself but don't brag. They're going to spend about 20 seconds skimming your resume before deciding whether to consider you or not.

7 month old thread guys.

Yup. Whether or not he got the job is old news at this point unless they have an unusually long interview process.
