Default separate names and designation from one cell into 2 colmun

I used Data|text to columns and succeeded few steps. There are few problems
as follows:
1- It gives the result in one row not in 2 columns. how can I fix this?
2- Number of entries goes beyond the number of columns limit and some data
is lost. It is not easy to find the truncated location and try again.

I have copied a list of employee names and their designation into Excel. All
list appear in one cell. There are about 500 names. Names are followed by
employee designation. The format is as follows:
"name-designation;name-designation" and repeats for 500 names
I want to have names in one column and designation in second column separated.
