    CV's and Consultancies

    Quick Question:

    Do you put the end client (which is usually more prestigious and well known) or the Consultancy (Smaller but who you worked for) on your CV/Linkedin

    I want my account deleted and all of my information removed, I want to invoke my right to be forgotten.

        I stick both on for previous gigs

        For the current/last one I only stick on the consultancy

          Client only for me.

          Some big corp name sounds a lot better than some unheard of consultancy.
          Contracting: more of the money, less of the sh1t

            A CV for me is an overview my experience to showcase my skills and abilities. I didn't do the work for the consultancy, I did it for the client..... so it is client for me. I have, however, been open about the relationship to the consultancy when discussing my experience either by phone or by interview. I have also, when applying to another consultancy to client gig worded my CV such that it states something like 'Working through a specialised consultancy to deliver..' and so on as the experience of working via the consultancy would be of relavance in that situation.

              For all my roles I have my position at Blue Chip Co \ consultancy (if there is a consultancy) and my Ltd Co then, where Im between contract, my position at my Ltd Co.

              I toyed with the idea of placing my co first then client but decided to go with the former.
              I couldn't give two fornicators! Yes, really!

                I always put the end client on my CV/LinkedIn as it looks much better and will probably stand out more
