listing employment history

pwd

I've had about 20 jobs, including summer work and jobs that lasted a couple of weeks.
About half of these are IT jobs, but the order is fairly mixed together - during and after college I went from IT contract to casual job to IT contract for a while.
On my cv at the moment it lists IT related jobs in detail and then has another section briefly outlining other jobs I've done.
I'm wondering if that's the best way of presenting things.
Also I'm looking at online application forms where you list your employment history, and not sure whether to include 2-week jobs and non-IT jobs.
As well as this in 2005 I spent 6 months developing websites and applications, and not otherwise employed. While this was highly beneficial in an academic manner, I didn't make much money doing it, so I'm not sure whether to list that as part of my employment history or not.
Any thoughts?

>I'm wondering if that's the best way of presenting things.
I would say no. First thing I do with a CV is look for gaps - if you have all your IT work in one section and other work in another section then it is difficult to do this. If you're applying for an IT job you might want to keep the non IT stuff to a one-liner. I would not waste my time with anything less than a month.
>I'm not sure whether to list that as part of my employment history or not.
Yes, list it. A six month unexplained gap may would look strange. You can explain it in more detail in an interview.

Unless the job can demonstrate you displaying some skill which they are looking for why bother sticking it in?

If leaving it out means you look like you were unemployed for 3 years or whatever then stick it in.

As for 2 week jobs, well that might look bad (i.e you were fired) maybe you can cover them all under a blanket of "Contracting" or whatever.
