Add/Edit a Prior Employment Position data entry screens

The Add a Prior Employment Position and Edit a Prior Employment Position data entry screens initiate the process of entering your professional experience for a given position.

What to enter in each field:

•      Company: (Required)

Enter the name of the company where you worked. Please use the formal company name. [Examples]

If your previous employer changed names since you worked there (and you know both names), please enter the current company name and the previous company name in parentheses. [Examples]

•      Company Division: (Optional)

Enter the primary division of the company where you worked. Do not repeat the name of the company in this field, unless it is part of the official division name. If you worked for the same company but in different divisions, create a separate employment history entry for each division. [Examples]

If your previous company division changed names since you worked there (and you know both names), please enter the current division name and the previous division name in parentheses. [Examples]

•      Position: (Required)

Enter the position title assigned by your employer. If the employer did not provide an official title, enter the position title that best describes your duties and responsibilities.

[Examples]

For assignments in the US, enter the primary work location(s) using the common city name and state abbreviation. For assignments abroad, enter city name and spell out the country name.
