How many years of work experience should you include on a resume?

Just wondering.

Depending on the position you are applying for you should list the least 3 applicable positions (at minimum) you have held. You don't need to list more than 5 positions in most cases. You don't It doesn't really matter how many years that includes but try not to go past 15 years if possible.

Whatever makes sense to the job description you are applying for. Don't go back more than 5 years though.

In a professional CV/resume (i.e. medical etc.) they advise 10 years.

I always put down the jobs that are relevant to the one for which am applying for
