What's the best way to display multiple positions at the same company on your resume?
How do you show progression/advancement through positions on your resume? I've held 3 positions (so far) at the company I'm at. When I list it, obviously, I need to show each one. But how? Do I list each as though it's a different job, and hope they notice that it's all the same company... or is there a better way?
Normally, I would list jobs like this on a resume:
Title, -------------Company,---------------- Dates
--job functions
Should I change it to do something like this:
company, -------------------------------------------------dates
---------title--------------------------------------------------dates held
---------------------------job functions

Was this job your first 'career' or main career job? If so, then I certainly would list them all separately.
Company
Most Recent Position
Accomplishments/Responsibilities
Same Company
2nd Most Recent Position
Accomplishments/Responsibilities
Same Company
3rd Most Recent Position
Accomplishments/Responsibilities
This will really allow you to showcase each job that you did, as well as show a clear progression of your career.
If they are not necessarily applicable to the job you're applying for, I would consider listing them all together:
Company
List of Positions, with most recent first
Most recent accomplishments or list of accomplishments that led to your promotions, etc

The best thing to do is in a format somewhat like
Company
Current Title
----Dates
-------Description
2nd Title
----Dates
-------Description
Starting Title
----Dates
-------Description
Exp.
Mcdonalds
12345 Ave
(555)555-555
Manager
January 08-August 08
These are the things I did, and why I got promotion, blah blah blah
Shift Supervisor
March 07-January 08
Blah Blah blah blah
General Labor
april 05- March 07
and yet more blah blah blah
However, I would limit the amount of description you put on the least important position. As a former manager who read through mannny resumes. The more you put, the faster I'm gonna toss it. Just be sure to include all the keywords.

First you list the company name and the date you started. One line space below, state "Positions held within the company:" and list out below all the positions you had held one by one explaining what you had done for each of the position and the dates thereof.
For a prospective employer, it gives overall picture of your work experiences under different position and how you got promoted within the company. It's just as important what kind of work experience you had within the company as well as outside the company.

It isn't necessary unless the positions were completely different in nature. List your highest position and address the duties of that job. Or, you could list the company in all CAPS, then below it show the positions you held, the approximate length of time you held each of those jobs, and your duties.

Why do you need to show each one? Assuming you started from the bottom and worked your way up, your prospective employer only really needs to see the most recent position. You can still list all the duties you were responsible for with all the positions.

Doesn't sound quite right to me lol
