    Example:

    Developed and maintained web applications using JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.
    Collaborated with cross-functional teams to define, design, and ship new features.


    Job B
    Senior Software Developer
    Innovatech Corp.
    San Francisco, CA

    Tips for Clarity and Professionalism


    Consistency: Ensure the formatting for dates, titles, and company names is consistent throughout your CV.
    Explanation in Cover Letter: If you think employers might be curious about your job change and return, briefly explain it in your cover letter. Mention that you left Job A for an opportunity at Job B, and then due to a change in circumstances, you returned to Job A.
    Focus on Achievements: Highlight your key responsibilities and achievements in each role to show the value you brought to both positions.
    By listing your experience this way, you demonstrate a clear and professional timeline of your career progression and highlight your adaptability and skills.

    The fact that a previous employer rehired you would most likely be seen as a positive so I wouldn't have any concern about it. Just make sure your dates allign and be prepared to discuss it in a positive manner in the interview.

    It depends on what kind of resume you are going to present a skills/experience based one or a chronological one? Skills/experience based it is of no consequences unless you gained something from the time there [just add the period to the list of employers], chronological list it as the next job in our list, with perhaps a note about rejoining.
