Dear members,
Thank you very much for providing us with a place to ask our questions and receive help.
I myself have an inquiry regarding my job experience. I am an engineer but I have worked in different fields:
A) 2010-2014: a University Instructor (part-time)
B) 2010-to date: an English Teacher (part-time)
C) 2014-to date: Self-employed (but my company has not turned profitable yet)
First, I wanted to include my self-employment as my experience, but I found out that it will not be applicable as the company has not produced any net profits yet. Thus, my only options are A & B as stated above.
Now, I have the following questions:
1. Is it OK to state unrelated experience to my major? Through a search in this forum, I found that it is possible but I will be thankful if a member confirms this.
2. Can I include A & B in my profile like what I have mentioned here? Will I have to include an explanation for my experience because of the overlap in the periods? You know, I worked in the morning for A and in the evening for B and it was necessary in my country just to get by. After the inception of my company, I continued my part-time job as a teacher (B) to cover my costs.
3. Would it be better if I included my recent employment just as an explanation and why I did not include it as my experience (because it has not made any net profits yet)?
4. Is the format for part-time job experience letters different than full-time ones? Any point to consider in my case?
I will be happy if you share your recommendations. Thank you very much for your help, in advance, and I wish all of us well.
