Employment History

What is an Employment History?

The Basic definition of employment history, as the name suggests is about an individual’s work history. It includes details of the work position, length of time, and even the salary. This is the initial phase of the employment verification process, where details of employee work history are checked. It can tell you a lot about the history of the employee’s past.

You can look out for things like:

• Gaps in between changing jobs
• Short term or long term discrepancies
• Compensation levels from companies
• Promotions and appraisals in position 
• Education and publication related details

When you apply for a job, the employer generally asks for work history either on a C.V. or job application. This document includes the candidate’s most recent jobs.
