You should enter your assignments in reverse chronological order (from the present to the past) so that your most recent assignments will appear first in the list. You can reorder the list using the up/down arrows provided.
Enter the Company (or school), Location (city) and any general Comment or description you wish.
Select relevant job experience categories from the Categories list. (See Adding/Modifying Job Description Categories for a discussion about job categories.) Add any missing categories that will help you describe your job experience more thoroughly. For each category selected, check all the relevant job experiences that apply to this job. You will see these experience selections appear in a list on the right. They are automatically assigned a time value in years apporitioned equally across the number of years spent on this particular assignment. You can manually change any of these values. However, if the units measurement is not "years", the program will not automatically assign the time values. See the topic "Job Description Categories"
