    Have you moved jobs within this company?

    e.g. you started as Network Engineer and ended up as Senior Network Engineer? If so, I'd treat them as two jobs on your CV.

    Don't go purely in chronological order or you could leave out older, but good things to list.

    Look at a good few job specs for roles you'd like to apply for, and try and link what they're looking for with projects you've done. But obviously put the emphasis on the ones where you were senior in the project.
