My first job was in retail, I was quickly promoted into a management/leadership role, then I took a head office move as a data scientist at the same company when I graduated. So I was with that employer for several years and mainly in the data science role. On a CV, do I need to list every position held between start/end dates or would it be ok to just list final job title? I just want to note the relevant roles.
My second employer was the civil service, again I was promoted multiple times during the years I was there - but spent the majority of my time at a senior position in data science. Do I need to add the early roles? Feel like it would read as repetitive.
Then finally, I started a consultancy role recently. I’m not sure how to add this to my CV. Do I put the agency or the client on the CV? Do I need to list the job title or is consultant sufficient? I’m enjoying the role, but I’m probably wanting to go back into permanent employment in 2026 so want to make sure I’m pitching it correctly.
