I'm in the process of completing my previous work history and was wondering if I should only include the jobs pertaining to the NOC code that I'm applying for? Or do I include all previous work history even if it's not relevant to the code/application? For example, if my first job after graduating from University was an Admin role (Office Manager) but then after 1 year I moved into a Marketing role (in the same company) do I include the Admin role as well as the Marketing role or just include the Marketing role and ignore inputting the Admin role? I just don't want to find that by not including it, the Canadian government think I'm hiding something because that is definitely not the case.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Tam

You can include whatever you'd like but you will need letters of reference for every job you list.
If you have a certain NOC code that adds credit to your application then I'd just use that for the sake of your own sanity ;)

Thanks so much for your quick reply :)
I worked at a company for 9 years and while I was there, I went from Office Manager to Marketing Executive to Marketing Co-ordinator to Marketing Manager. So technically it's only 1 reference letter from that company which can list the role changes and the responsibilities for each position. However, I'm assuming I need to enter them all separately when I'm doing my application because if I lump them all together it will have to be under 1 job title, which won't be accurate. Does that sound about right?
Sorry, I'm perhaps overthinking things but just want to make sure I get it filled in correctly. Would hate to be rejected on something minor.
Thanks again for your help. Tam :)
