Employment History
Your employment history should showcase your previous professional experiences and let employers know why you’re the ideal candidate for the job. We recommend listing your previous job roles in reverse chronological order: put simply, you’ll want to list your professional experiences from most recent to least recent. For example, if you worked at Tesco’s in 2016 and Kingspan in 2020, you’ll want to list Kingspan first and Tesco’s in 2016.
One thing to note is that it is always best to add professional experiences that are relevant to the job posting. As an architect, include any internships at architect firms or any architecture-related job positions to stand out to potential employers. You’ll want to list the name of the company, your role, the length of time you spent in that position and any job functions or tasks you performed. You might also like to include any stand-out achievements in this section.
