The longer you have worked in a field, the less likely that a resume will be a
complete history of every job that you have held. Be selective. Either mention
only the major contracting you have done, or else prepare summaries of all
positions, and select only the relevant ones for each job.

Another alternative is to list all the jobs under your company's name. If you
don't have a limited company or sole proprietorship, you can use a title such as
Misc. Consulting Work. Summarize the types of work you did, and name some of
your major clients.
