Is it better to place your position or your organization first when listing each job on your resume?
I’ve placed the position over the company for years and have managed to find work without a lot of problem. I figure employers are more concerned about WHAT you did than WHERE you did it. Most employers will not recognize the companies listed on my resume so why highlight them? It’s me they’re considering hiring, not my former employers. Most of my colleagues’ resumes and other samples I’ve seen show organization, then position. Please provide a source if you agree or disagree.

Often, listing them together as a header, then bulleting examples of job duties underneath can be a solution to that puzzle. Try it out by formatting a resume in that format and sending a few. See if you get any better results.
