Writing a Resume for a Consultant going Full Time

Post date: 2021-07-30 02:30:16

I'm having trouble formatting my resume in a way that parses well and explains my experience. I've been working as a salaried consultant for the past 10 years and hoping to move out of consulting. My job titles have been generic (i.e Consultant, Senior Consultant) which show my promotion progression, but not really the roles that match the jobs i'm applying to. I've been at various clients doing various roles on various projects.

I've seen this question but this seems more applicable for 1099s. I was a fulltime salaried employee with benefits vacation for consulting company X, which got me on a project at big client Y.
Currently I have under experience my consulting company and job title, and under that period I put the client(s) I worked at. The role is described more or less in the bullet points, but I'd rather use that the discuss my results and actions rather than role titles. Nor does this parse at all when I upload my resume to websites automatically, which to me means it's not an optimally formatted resume.

Other ways I've seen people do it is put employment history and project experience in two different sections, but that seems non standard. Others have used "consulting assignment at " for the job title but still doesn't seem to fit.

To make things even more difficult, my company got acquired by very large consulting company that has lots of ads in the last year, so not sure how to show that either!
