I've been at my current job for 5 years and have been promoted twice. What is the best way to put this in my resume? Do I put each separate job title as a new "job" or do I just put one line with my most recent job title? I think if I put a section for each job title it will be too lengthy. My most recent title is obviously the job i want to showcase.
ABC Company
Peanut Sorter, June 2002 through August 2005
Sorted peanuts on production line, removing unqualified peanuts and debris materials.
Kept production are clean.
Received "Employee of the Month" in July 2003 and September 2004
Peanut Roaster, August 2005 through March 2007
Operated roaster machine.
Loaded product into hoppers and cleared jams.
Minor maintenance of machinery.
Recognized for outstanding production quality increase during four consecutive quarters.
Production Lead, March 2007 to present
Supervise production team of eight.
Assist senior management with scheduling and performance reviews
Schedule machinery down time and maintenance to have the lowest impact on production goals
Have exceeded production goals during every quarter.
That's the general format I'd use--it's pretty obvious to the person reviewing the resume that the title changes were vertical, not lateral moves. Don't repeat responsibilities that are duplicated during the various roles, state them once in the lowest role that responsibility is found in.

I do it backwards...I put the more recent one at the top, and oldest at the bottom. Make sure you include the words "increasing responsibility" in your cover letter.

Good point. I didn't look close enough. I do that as well.

You're right. I was just doing it really quick and more worried about the peanuts than the format.
My only question is: How did you know I was in the peanut industry!?!
Ha! Didn't you know annerk is a mind-reader? It was that or your progressive experience as a proctologist!
