Job application help please!

Please give details of your full employment history.....

There are 8 slots. Clearly they don’t want to know about my stint as a waitress when I was 16.

How far back do you go?

As is relavent to the job in hand.

If you don't need "retail" experience for your job, then I wouldn't bother going back that far.

HOWEVER, if you feel a job you previously had, shows a particular strength of yours, then I would include it.

Generally speaking, (and depending.on age) you only need to go back to after education (so if you've only ever worked after school, and your only 28, Then go back!)... If your 48, and went to university, and only had 2 "proper" jobs, then only put that.

If you haven't got a great deal of experience due to long term illness, or having 29 children, or whatever, then out down all you can to bulk it out and explain why the big gaps.

If you left a job due to the supervisor being a bitch, do not say (obvs) but be creative as to why you left after a short time. NEVER, say boredom or not challenging, as that's a negative.

Do it in.pencil first (or online) and ask someone you respect n trust to check it out.

Thank you!

Just don’t leave any unexplained gaps, future employers will wonder at those

There is a section for unexplained gaps. Please put details of any gaps in your employment history here.

Seems like a good way to find out if women have kids or not.

I would include any job you had for over a year, even waitressing because it demonstrates willingness to work, customer service etc but limited information except 2 most recent jobs
