Show a promotion as separate titles under one employer, newest first, each with its own dates and the tasks from that span. Keep the earlier title as you held it, and do not move a later duty onto the earlier role. The outline later is fictional, and one combined title hides when the change happened.
One employer, two titles
Put the employer once. Under it, put the newer title, the dates, and the bullets, then the earlier title, its dates, and its bullets. The newest title comes first, which matches a reverse-chronological page. Chronological, functional, and combination resumes describes that layout. This page is the case of two titles in one place.
Use separate employer blocks when the organizations were actually different, including a move to another company with a similar name. Do not split one continuous job into two employers to make a promotion look like a new company.
What each bullet may say
A bullet under a title has to be work from that title's dates. If you started writing the weekly schedule only after the promotion, that bullet sits under the newer title. The earlier title keeps the tasks from before, such as restocking or taking orders.
Do not give the earlier title a verb you earned later. Supervised, hired, or trained belong on the span where you did those things. Resume action verbs groups verbs by the kind of work. Resume bullet point examples is the shape: a verb, the object, and a result or the scope. Leave the result blank when you cannot point to it.
The resume bullet point generator arranges a verb, an object, optional scope, and an optional result you type. A blank result is left out. It does not know which title the line belongs under, so you place the line yourself.
Dates
Use one date style for both titles. Month and year is enough. Year to year is enough when you do not remember the month. Do not invent a month to look more precise.
If the promotion had no break, the earlier end and the newer start can meet. If you left and came back, those are two spans, and the time between them is a gap to label honestly. How to explain employment gaps covers that label. Do not delete a month to make the spans touch.
The resume checker looks for a start and an end in the text you paste, and it flags a range that ends before it starts. It also flags mixed month styles, such as a month name beside a numeric month. It does not decide whether two titles should share an employer, and it does not score an interview.
A fictional outline
Fictional writing model. Chris Adeyemi is invented. The notes say Harbor Cafe, shift lead from 2024 to 2026, and barista from 2022 to 2024. The shift lead wrote the weekly staff schedule. The barista restocked the pastry case after each opening shift. The notes do not say the barista supervised anyone.
Harbor Cafe Shift lead, 2024-2026 Wrote the weekly staff schedule and posted it for the opening crew. Barista, 2022-2024 Restocked the pastry case after each opening shift.
The schedule bullet stays on the shift lead. The pastry bullet stays on the barista. A line that said the barista supervised the crew would add a duty the notes do not contain.
What to avoid
One line such as "Barista / Shift Lead, 2022-2026" hides the year the title changed. A reader cannot tell when the schedule work started. Two titles fix that without adding a new employer.
Dropping the earlier title is reasonable only when the page is already long and that title's tasks do not help this posting. A short earlier line, with the dates and one task, is usually enough. How long a resume should be is the length test for a US-style page. This site did not measure a preferred length.
A functional page that groups skills and drops the titles also hides the promotion. Keep the titles and the dates.
Phrases from the posting
The job description keyword extractor lists phrases in a posting. The resume keyword matcher counts how many also appear in the resume. That count is overlap on this site, not an employer result. A missing phrase is not a reason to put a later duty on the earlier title. The formula is in what an online ATS score measures.
Frequently asked questions
How do I list a promotion on a resume?
Put both titles under one employer, newest first, each with dates and bullets from that span. The outline on this page is fictional.
Should I combine the titles on one line?
No, if you want the reader to see when the title changed. A single date range across both titles hides the promotion.
Can the earlier title use duties from the later one?
No. Write the tasks you did in that span. Do not move a later duty backward to make the first title look larger.
Will the resume checker score the promotion layout?
No. It checks headings, bullet length, date ranges, and a few wording rules in text you paste. It does not decide how to stack titles, and it does not score an interview.
