Civil Service - Employment History

2 replies

West1212 · 01/01/2022 12:56

Does anyone have any experience with what to include in the Employment History section for Civil Service jobs? I've applied for a role where I only included relevant work history (as the job advert gave no instructions on work history), but I've seen other roles where there are specific instructions to include all work history (some asking for 5 years, others longer periods) and give an account for any gaps in employment.

Certainly, I should follow any given advert instructions, but if no stipulations are listed, has anyone found its fine to simply list the relevant employment history? I want to avoid filling up my application with information that isn't necessary to include.

Thank you

I'd always give all employment as gaps look suspicious.

Last 5 years career history. If there is anything older that is really relevant the add that at the end e.g further history can be supplied such as x key role.
