| 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 Training Instructor MR Office Manager

| 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. | |
