Civil service application form

Hi
I am completing an application form in line for a civil service job. It only seems to ask for current employment is that right? There is no where to put previous jobs. I didn't want to submit if I have done something wrong! Many ideas?

Thanks in advance!

    You should be able to put in past jobs once you have put the current in.

    That's what I thought, but there is no heading. On the left side, under progress tracker it says eligibility, personal inf ( name/ address), current employment, then competence questions, FE etc
    Should there be a specific section?

    It should be in the same section and directly underneath where you put in your most recent.

    It won't be in any other section it goes in the same one as your current employment

    Hi
    I think there must be different sections to complete for different jobs. I have just tried to apply for a different position and it came up, along with additional information and qualifications which I didn't get in my first application! ( I got competencies and FE/HE. Sections to complete not qualifications!) bizarre!

    The forms vary according to the position. Unless you're going for a senior position they will not use your employment history as part of the sift, so you're not losing anything by not putting it down.

    Good luck!
