    From your first to your current position, how many jobs have you had? And do you list them all on your resume?

    Since 1963 I have had about 30 different jobs.

    I list how ever many they want. On a resume I just put the ones related to the job applied for but some application forms want you to list the last 3 or 4, so I put those.

    I have worked here for a dozen years and don't really plan to be job hunting after this.


    I Have Worked As:

    US Air Force Airman
    Oil Rig Roughneck (Lead Tong & Derrick)
    Security Guard
    Police Patrolman
    Computer Operator (1970)
    French Market Sweeper
    Warehouseman
    Hospital Stock Tech
    Hoagy/Pizza Maker
    Art Museum Attendant/Security
    Free Clinic LIve-In Staff (N.O. 1971)
    Clinic Assistant - (India 1977)
    Psych. Tech
    Veterinarian Assistant
    Child Care Worker
    Grounds Keeper
    Artists' Model
    Nursing Assistant
    Direct Care Staff MR

    My first job was mowing lawns when I was 14, then it was off to the local grocery store during high school where I was:

    Cashier
    Courtesy Desk Attendant/Bookkeeper
    Produce Dept. Clerk

    After that, I moved on to working as a clerk in a fabric store during college,a brief stint as an order entry clerk for a baby toy company, as well as starting my 25-year run at the lab I currently work at.

    I started off as a phlebotomist, moved to lab tech-generalist, then Chemistry back-up supervisor, Lab Safety officer, which I presently still do. I'm also Lead Tech for Chemistry, Hematology and Urines, as well as "token" blood banker on second shift. LOL

    I usually list all the lab related stuff on my resume, then under a separate section, I list the other jobs under "other work experience" (minus the lawn-mowing!)

    I hope to be able to add "Teacher/Instructor" to my resume, come fall, as I'm in the process of applying for a teaching position at one of the local colleges that I could do during the day and still keep my night hours at the hospital. They're looking for someone to teach various courses for the lab tech program, and I hope to be able to teach the chemistry or blood bank courses.

    18 jobs. FUCK! I didn't realize I been through so many. There were times when I worked 2 jobs at once, and even for awhile I was working 3 jobs.

    And HELL NO, I don't list all of them, only ones I know that I can get a good reference and if they are under the same management as when I was employed there. Which doesn't leave very many.

    I'm not about to sit here and count them. More than 5. And no, I don't list all of them unless it is required or pertinent to the job I'm applying for.

    I think 11 and since they're not all relevant to my carrier they aren't all on my resume. I'm only on my 4th car.

    More than 10. And I don't count them unless it's one of those nit-picky applications. Half of those places don't exist anyway, so I just lie and say I was a great employee.

    Oh God....a lot. Over a dozen. No I don't list them all. I only list the ones I had for a significant amount of time, or had a significant position at. The ones that I had only briefly don't get mentioned.
