I just won a workplace "best work" award for the second year in a row. What's the best way to state this on my resume/LinkedIn?



Here are my options:



I can put both years on one line, but that seems to diminish the fact that I won it twice in a row:



Best Work Award, 2012 and 2013


or



Best Work Award, 2012
Best Work Award, 2013


or I could put the year in front:



2012 and 2013 Best Work Award


or



2012 Best Work Award
2013 Best Work Award


Or is there are standard way which I have not listed?

    I don't mean to be disrespectful but if this is just an internal award then one line is more than enough. Unless it can stand up in its own right, and you know prospective employers will pay attention to it then giving it too much promenance will look desperate in my opinion.

    @Dan: The award is actually prestigious; it's not "Best Work" as I wrote but rather a lofty description that I don't want to post here.

Listing them as




Best Work Award, 2012 and 2013




is probably best.



Be aware that while the award may be very meaningful for you, and within the context of your current company, it will probably mean a lot less to people outside of your company. The exception would be if the award is something that is publicly recognized (like a Pulitzer Peace Prize, for example).

    To expand, if (the interviewer) not having heard of the award is not a gaffe, you should include a link and/or short description. Don't spend more than two lines in the whole thing.

One-line joke

A one-liner is a joke that is delivered in a single line. A good one-liner is said to be pithy - concise and meaningful. [1] Comedians and actors use this comedic method as part of their act, e.g. Jimmy Carr, Tommy Cooper, Rodney Dangerfield, Norm Macdonald, Ken Dodd, Stewart Francis, Zach Galifianakis, Mitch Hedberg, Anthony Jeselnik, Milton Jones, Shappi Khorsandi, Jay London, Mark Linn-Baker, Demetri Martin, Groucho Marx, Dan Mintz, Emo Philips, Tim Vine, Steven Wright and Henny Youngman and Arnold Schwarzenegger. [ citation needed ] Many fictional characters are also known to deliver one-liners, including James Bond, who usually includes pithy and laconic quips after disposing of a villain. [ citation needed ] Examples "A baby seal walks into a club." "A dyslexic man walks into a bra." (Anonymous) "There are three types of people, those who can count and those who can't." "Venison's dear, isn't it?" (Jimmy Carr) "An escala...
