Civil Service - Employment history

[Nowconcerned]

Hello, Filling out the application form for a senior civil service job. I have not completed a "blind" application before - my background is in the University sector. My role in the University sector is quite senior and filling out the section on Employment History is potentially identifying even though I am leaving out the name of the institutions I have worked for. Has anyone done similar before and have any idea what to put / how to handle this?

Also, I have written a statement with regards to the success profiles, should this also be repeated in the employment history section? I am not very clear what is really wanted here.

Thanks for any advice

I would advise not to overthink it. As long as you don't state your places of work you should be covered.

I use employment history literally to say what I did in each job, tailoring to the job specification. I don't repeat between the success profiles and employment history section as whilst it is blind recruitment your application form should bd read as one document.

Thanks a lot. How much detail do you put on each role?

I tend to put 5-6 bullet points but I have seen a lot more (and somewhat less) in applications. It also depends on what the advert says - if they state the CV/employment history forms part of the sift I might include more. I think the key thing though is to demonstrate through your employment history that you have the relevant work experience to complete the role.
