What to put on CV for working at a customer's site?

[Haggisman]

I'm currently a permanent employee for Company A, in Role X, however for the last year I've been working at a customer's site (Company B), in a slightly different, but related role (Role Y). This position is different enough that I feel the experience I've gained is worth putting on my CV.

What would be the best way of putting this on my CV? I haven't updated it in over a year, so currently my most recent employment is listed as Company A - Role X, like so:

Role X
Company A: <StartDate> - Present
<BriefSummaryOfRole>

Key responsibilities
1. <Responsibility>
2. <Responsibility>
3. etc...

I'm thinking one of the following options:

• Add Company B, Role Y as my most recent employment in the same format as above, and put in the summary that this was still whilst working at Company A.
  
• Add a new sub-section under the Company A, Role X section, e.g.:
  
  

  Role X
  Company A: <StartDate> - Present
  <BriefSummaryOfRole>
  
  Key responsibilities
  1. <Responsibility>
  2. <Responsibility>
  3. etc...
  
  From <StartDateOfCustomerSitePlacement> I have been working at a customer's site - Company B - as a Role Y.
  <BriefSummaryOfRole>
  
  Key responsibilities
  1. <Responsibility>
  2. <Responsibility>
  3. etc...

Thanks for any input.

You could just include the work in the summary of your role/ responsibilities, and just say that as part of your role, that you were required to work at a customers site, and Provide references for both.

The work I'm doing at the customer's site is (IMO) different enough from my normal role that it's worth showing properly on my CV (but then I don't work in recruitment )

I would just put
Company B <StartDate> - <EndDate> (secondment)

And then the usual job details

You don't need much of a story, beyond calling it a secondment - can talk about it in interview.

Company A - Start date - Present

-- Role Y - Start date - present

-- Role X - Start date - end date

 

[Haggisman]

Company A - Start date - Present

-- Role Y - Start date - present

-- Role X - Start date - end date

Hmm, yeah, that could work

Cheers!

I would go with this approach covers all bases and highlights the role nicely!

you're still working for the same company only now you're in some sort of on site/consultancy role

don't present it separately as actually working for the client, you're not an employee of the client and if someone skims the CV and phones the client to ask about you it won't look good

one former colleague of mine did this on linked in and it is cringe worthy - he had 1 to 2 year stints at different banks as a consultant, instead of just putting his work experience as 5 years at X tech company he has put 1 year grad scheme X tech company, 2 years at ABC bank, 1 year at XYZ bank, 2 years at (yet-another-big bank)... it is complete BS, he nearly got caught out by US immigration with this nonsense too when they wanted work history.

You work for company A, don't put down that you work for company B. you might name them in the description of your role or you might just describe them (secondment to a large energy supplier, bank, whatever)

Made-up-tech-firm - Start date - Present

Consultant - Start date - present

After being an awesome support monkey I was selected to lead a new implementation project at XYZ. Duties included, lying and delaying the client when knowing full well the project was behind schedule, pretending things were out of scope, delivering more BS, trying to bill the client for additional days for other out of scope requirements.

Support Monkey - Start date - end date

I provided support to lots of clients, closed lots of tickets nd **** some of which probably weren't resolved, clients liked me as I pretended to know what I was talking about, developers liked me as I convinced some clients that certain bugs were just 'features' of the system. Introduced new procedures, reduced backlog, trained and assisted new monkeys, insert some BS...
