The company I work for has changed titles and added an additional step in the ladder and I'm not sure how to appropriately reflect it on my resume.
Previous
- Associate Engineer
- Intermediate Engineer
- Senior Engineer
Now
- Engineer 1
- Engineer 2
- Engineer 3
- Engineer 4
Associate maps to 1 and senior maps to 4. Intermediate can map to 2 or 3 depending on experience level.
EDIT: I bolded the part below because some of the answers are responding as if it’s a straight title change.
I was hired in at associate and promoted to intermediate. While working as an intermediate the new titles were announced and I was mapped to a 3 (thus receiving an implicit promotion).
How do I convey this on my resume?
-- Things I'd considered (can be ingored) --
- Engineer 1 - date I was hired as associate
- Engineer 2 - date I was promoted to intermediate
- Engineer 3 - date I found out my title had changed
Downside of this approach is that the span of time between 2 and 3 is much shorter than 1 and 2 and may seem odd.
- Engineer 1 - date I was hired as associate
- Engineer 2 - come up with a date for the implicit promotion to 2 that is before promotion to intermediate
- Engineer 3 - date I found out my title had changed
Downside of this approach is that one of the dates is made up.
- Associate - date I was hired as associate
- Intermediate - date I was promoted to intermediate
- Engineer 3 - date I found out my title had changed
Downside of this approach is similar to the first example with the time between intermediate and 3 being much shorter than the time between associate and intermediate, which may seem odd. It also may be confusing to have the title progression change.
