Whats up guys. So lets say I worked for my fathers company full time every summer and winter break during college. Should I individually list each working experience since they weren't during the school year?

I worked over 1000 hours but it was only during my summer and winter breaks.. I worked for the same company and had the same position title but I feel like If i just said I worked 1000 hours from june 2010 til june 2013 that would make it appear that I worked during the school year, in which case I did not! But then again I feel stupid putting 6 different work experiences with the exact same job title at the same company.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!


It's just like with my volunteer work.. I only volunteered like from september-december then febuarary-may every year but on my application as of right now I have it saying I just did september to present.. It appears as the same overall hours of course but less hours per week.
 
I can't remember...is there a description section for this? If so, I'd say "worked during school breaks performing tasks x, y, z." I think I remember doing something to this extent on a volunteer section.
 
I would put the work experience as one. You can always clarify later, but they won't ask this, and it looks good if it seems like you worked during the school year. You aren't lying, it is the way the application is structured.
 
Agreed. And I meant to say that I would put it as one and then describe/explain only if you want.
