Yesterday I accepted a new position at my current job in a junior Windows admin/ network role. However, I still would like to show my current job because it was a helpdesk role and I accomplished some really good things while in that role. How you guys handle this? Normally I would put down my highest role at a particular job.

In some instances, I've done:
Company Name
Billet / dates
Accomplishments
Billet / dates
Accomplishments
As my resume has gotten larger and I need to focus on keeping it under 2 pages while still expressing all points, I list either what my business card says ("Associate", "Senior Consultant", "Information Systems Security Engineer", etc) or my highest billet reached in the case of not having business cards, and use a modified PAR format for addressing the full scope of duties handled (EDIT: ) throughout multiple positions.
Personally, I generally advise against listing them as two entirely separate jobs (listing the company name more than once) as resume space is always at a premium. -

Started as a customer service rep, to a tier 1 technician, to a customer service coach, and eventually a network engineer. Hiring managers like to see steady, vertical progress.Reading: Internetworking with TCP/IP: Principles, Protocols, and Architecture (D. Comer)

Shows progression and fills in time gaps. -

I would also add that even if the job is a horizontal change, it could be valuable to add. For example, if you were a network administrator and then changed jobs to be a system administrator.
