I'm trying to figure out how to list this work on my resume and could use some advice. Basically, I'm offered a project that will last anywhere from 2 weeks to 2 months and based on the details provided, I either accept or decline. I've done a few projects in the past and will be doing another soon, but I just don't know how to list it on a resume. Oh, and to further complicate matters, there are two different companies I've done this work for, but they are essentially the same exact job even though they're different companies. And it's not consecutive years and two of the projects overlapped. Oh yes, and I also added a project that was a bit different than the others, but was still a project-based job from Company B in the same field and even the same sub-field, just a different. It may be easier to just break it down...


Position A
Company B
March 2024 - May 2024

Position B
Company B
April 2020 - July 2020

Position A
Company B
April 2019 - May 2019

Position A
Company A
April 2019 - May 2019

Position A
Company A
March 2017 - June 2017


The first thing that comes to mind is substitute teaching for an example. Like, imagine company A is one school and I was subbing in for a history teacher. Then I also subbed for a different school, also in History. Then the second school also had me sub in Gym Class. But the dates are all over the place. I don't know how to list any of this. And I do keep getting offered projects every single year, even the years I didn't take on any work. They've both been offering me work since 2020, but for several reasons I wasn't able to accept a new project until now. And I am no longer able to work for Company A because I moved to a state where it's not allowed. So I guess it's like this...?


Company A
Worked projects in 2017 & 2019
Offered projects consistently from 2017 until 2023, but no longer eligible due to state law.

Company B
Worked projects in 2019 & 2020
Offered projects consistently since 2019 and starting a new project in early 2024.


Does any of this make sense? Do I list each job separately? Mash them together somehow? Advice welcome!

I like the second more concise way of laying it out. You might add how many projects. And definitely add the value they provided in numerical terms if possible (eg saved $X, came in 30% under budget, etc…). Basically the "so what" of the projects.

Company A
Worked six (6) projects in 2017 & 2019
Offered projects consistently from 2017 until 2023, but no longer eligible due to state law.

Company B
Worked projects in 2019 & 2020

I too would list by company and then time spans.
Nurses tend to have overly complicated resumes as we often work multiple jobs and locations depending on who is paying more etc.
I always listen the company then the dates and jobs done there and its ok to ha e overlap in dates. Shows you are a go getter and can do more than one thing at a time.
