My gut instinct looking at this is that it is really hard to believe you held a senior position as a student; it seems even weirder that you held a senior position at a university - an institution which doesn't have anywhere near the turnover of the private sector.

Also, a senior engineer after only 2 years in your current position and just out of college?

I'm sure it's true and good for you, but I know a lot of people will notice it and wonder.

Good call on the university thing, it was a student position however that was the actual title they used. I'll change it to 'Senior Student Technician' instead. I obviously wasn't a senior engineer the day I started at my current job however I did rise fast and that has been my title for a long time. Is there a better way to illustrate a change of position at the same employer, AKA should I have multiple listings in that section for the same employer but with a different title? I should add months to the dates as well. I started my current job in Jan 08 so it's been almost 3.5 yrs. Better change that, thanks for the heads up!
