Application form advice

[notmrscookie]

Currently about to re Start job hunting.
Previously I have come across form that want a grid type page filled in with work history and gaps etc.Along with roles and responsibilities etc.
How much information do u put in this .As i was thinking of pre typing things up and copying and pasting to save time as some of the forms are really long winded.

Detailed info about your most recent role (s), less info the further you go back, is the general rule. Obviously you might want to tailor this if experience particularly relevant to the role you are applying for is from an older role.

You don't say how long your employment history is but going back more than 5 years or so you are really just demonstrating an employment history, so just job title, organisation and dates for the oldest roles, if applicable.
