Hey all, quick question on dates that I was employed on my resume. Long story short, I was let go on Friday from a job of 4 1/2 years. On my resume do I have it read : a) February 2009 to present or b) February 2009 to June 2013?

 thanks for your input,

Jon

The word "present" means something very specific in a resume: "This is where I am currently employed".  Sorry, but you've got to stick with June 2013.

Thanks for the quick response. Not the answer I was hoping for but direction I will follow.
