I'm at the section on filling out employment throughout the eligibility period and I'm unsure how to present my information.
Basically, I've had a string of jobs as both a freelancer and in-house with different companies over this time frame. It's been messy at points - literally gigs for two months at a temp job and then back to only freelancing for 6 before another 2 month stint in some other gig while freelancing in my spare time.
My eligibility period starts around June 2016, and I had a coffee shop job in my home country at that time which eventually mixed with school in September of that year and the two lasted together until December. After that, it was just my studies until I arrived in Canada in June 2017 to start a summer internship. At the end of that internship, I started freelancing and have done so consistently ever since. The other gigs that have come and gone happened simultaneously.
Do I literally go through this piece by piece and call all periods outside working in house as freelancing, i.e. freelancing-->gig 1-->freelancing-->gig 2 etc up to the present day, or can I just say in the top table September 2017 to Present Freelancing, and then fill out the remaining tables to note every small gig I've had in between? My concern is that this will look odd chronologically.
Also, how should I present the coffee shop/schooling in my home country? Should I just say unemployed until September and then school, or should I include this gig?
Thanks in advance!
