❓ How to Fill in Work History for Part-Time Jobs?
This article explains when and how to include part-time jobs in the Work History section of your SpeedVisa application—especially if excluding them would create long gaps in your history.
🎯 Who is this for?
Students filling out the Work History section in SpeedVisa who have experience with part-time employment and are unsure whether to include it.
❓ Question
I have worked part-time before. Should I include this in the Work History section?
✅ Answer
In principle, you should enter your full-time job experience in the Work History section, but you can include part-time work in certain situations:
-
If the part-time job is relevant to your studies or future career
-
If your school requires you to list it
-
If not including it would create a long gap in your personal history
📝 Guidelines for Including Part-Time Work
✅ Include If Relevant to Your Field
Include part-time jobs that are related to your major or career goals. This can make your application stronger.
Example: A part-time research assistant role related to your degree.
✅ Include If the School Requests It
Some schools may ask you to include specific part-time work experience. Always follow your school’s instructions.
✅ Include to Avoid Long Gaps
If you have no academic or job history during a certain period—especially over 3 months—include your part-time work to avoid a blank period.
🛂 Immigration authorities often require a written explanation if there’s a gap of 3 months or more. Listing your part-time job can help you avoid this.
📍 How to Proceed
-
Check your school’s instructions first.
-
If unsure, contact your school’s support office.
-
When in doubt, it’s better to include part-time jobs that cover long gaps in your timeline.
⚠️ Important Notes
-
Do not include short-term or casual jobs unless instructed.
-
Focus on jobs that show relevant experience or fill in gaps in your history.
