He was/has been a sales person for the last two years/during the previous two years/for two years. -- for these, I think both past and past perfent tenses are allowed.      He has been a sales person in  the past two years/for the past two years. -- I think, for these, no past tense is allowed.       Anonymous Tenses, Present Perfect, Past Tenses

Before coming to work for us, he had been a sales person for the previous two years at a different company. Philip Joined on Thu, Jun 23 2005 Veteran Member 8,733 At reise er at leve! - H. C.
