What is the difference between the present perfect "I have worked for Shell for 5 years." and the present perfect perfect continuous "I have been working for Shell for 5 years." ? When should I use one or the other? Is there a difference in meaning?

You have worked for ...... means you used to work there for a certain period of time but you no longer work for them.

You have been working for ...... means since the first day until now you are still workingSmile [:)]

" There are two apples, one is green and the other is red "Smile [:)]. You can take either one to eatSmile [:)]
