Re: Sub Contracts on Resumes
How do you show a sub-contract on your resumes? That is, projects where the deliverable was for Company A, Company A contracted the work to Company B and Company B subcontracted the work to you.
I'd suggest one of two ways:
- Put Company A as the company for the resume, then put the fact that you were sub-contracted to Company B as the first bullet point.
or
- Mention both companies with a slash between them.
Both are broadly truthful, and give you the benefit of mentioning Company A if that's an asset (say, for example, that Company A is IBM). However, the second is less misleading, so that's what I do.
I'm assuming, of course, that Company B is not a head-hunter. Even if I receive my pay cheque from the head-hunter, my relation is with the company I was matched with, so I wouldn't feel obligated to mention the head-hunter at all.
