Work Experience

Under this heading, make a separate entry for each relevant job held, starting with the most recent.

Notes:

if you are applying for your first job, do not forget to mention work placements during training which provide evidence of

initial contact with the world of work;

if your work experience is still limited (because you have just left school or university), describe your education and

training first (to invert the order of the two headings, use the `copy/paste' command in your word processing software);

highlight work placements during training (see online examples);

for the sake of brevity, focus on the work experience that gives added weight to your application. Do not overlook

experience which may be an asset even though it is not directly related to the profile of the job for which you are applying

(e.g., time spent abroad, work bringing you into contact with the public, etc.);

reproduce the table (using the `copy/paste' command in your word processing software) as many times as required. To

delete a heading, use the `Table' commands menu in your word processing software.
