I am currently updating my resume. My main problem is with deciding whether to organize my job experience by date, job title, or by company I worked for.

I started working part-time in one place in 2005, took on another seasonal job at that place a year later that I still do each year, left the original part-time job to work in two more places in the years since, but also worked at the first company one more year in a different capacity while under contract to an independent agency.

I'm sorry this is so confusing...

To summarize what I have visually:

Company 1, job title a, 2005-2010
Company 1, job title b,, 2006-present

Company 2, job title a, 2010-present

Company 1, job title c, 2013-2014, under contract with company 3

(Or alternatively,

Company 3, job title c, mention contracted to company 1 in the bullet point details)

Company 4, job title A, 2010-2012

The timeline is difficult to organize because different jobs and projects overlap. Do I go by start date? End date? Should I just organize it by job title, listing company 1 2 and 4 in the bullet points?

Any guidance or referals to someone who can help me would be appreciated. I would most appreciate free resources, even web-based self-guided ones that can help in non-traditional situations such as mine.

Thanks for your quick reply!

When listing the start-end dates, I can just ignore the fact that it looks very confusing at first glance?

Going down from the top reading just the dates, It's

2010-present
2006-present
2005-2010
2013-2014
2010-2014
