Return to Question

I am the OP. Jmac's change implied that I was applying straight after the internship. My question is about having done education/internship anytime after management, and applying anytime thereafter.

My work experience is structured as follows:

  • 2013-2014 Junior Business Manager, ABC Company (large)
  • 2012-2013 Business Associate, ABC Company
  • 2012-2012 Internship, DEF Company (major Fortune 500)
  • 2006-2009 Business Manager, XYZ Company (small)
  • 2004-2006 Business Assistant, KLM Organization (medium)
  • 2002-2004 Business Freelancer

* Let's imagine "Business" could mean any business unit, Marketing, Sales, Finance, IT... and my experience was always in the same or similar unit (e.g. Marketing and Sales).

I am applying for management-level job interviews as prior to university that was the role I held (from 2006-2009). However, I am finding it difficult to be called back for management-level positions, potentially because my most recent work experience is inincludes an internship rather than a management roledone right after university.

As someone who has had education and internships after my management-role, how should I structure my resume to emphasize my management skills and pre-university experience when applying to management-level positions?

If How should I have pre-university work experience, does the internship/work-scheme make that look less valuable onstructure a resume when applying for management positions post-Internship?

My experience with job searching is that ever since I did my degree and my internship, I find it more difficult to be calledam applying for management-level job interviews (although I have previously been in management roles). This makes me wonder whether the factas prior to university that was the role I studied and did an internshipheld (nonfrom 2006-management role2009) makes recruiters think that. However, I am notfinding it difficult to be called back for management material-level positions, or thatpotentially because my "true"most recent work experience is only what I gained after universityin an internship rather than a management role.

Do you think this could be a possibility,As someone who has had education and if yesinternships after my management-role, how couldshould I mitigate itstructure my resume to emphasize my management skills when applying to management-level positions?
