Employment summary

You must complete an Employment Summary which lists all of your jobs since leaving full time education. This should be completed in chronological order starting with your first job. Any gaps in your employment, for whatever reason, must be explained.

The details required include:

• dates from/to by month and year;
• name, business sector and approximate annual turnover of the employing organisation;
• the total number of staff employed in your department and reporting to you;
• your position/job title for each post and the title of the person you reported to; and 
• the number of months experience gained in the basic, core and supplementary areas. (Note: Please take care not to double count your experience. The number of months experience claimed across the basic, core and supplementary areas must not be greater than the number of months spent in the role.)

You will need to include any periods of non-employment including travelling, maternity leave, unemployment and jobs that provided no relevent experience. If this is the case you will only need to complete the first three columns.
