employment history

Jobs you've held

Employment history is a record of someone's past jobs, typically including employers, positions held, and dates of employment.

It appears on resumes and job applications, where gaps or patterns may draw scrutiny: The interviewer asked about a two-year gap in my employment history.

Background checks often verify employment history for accuracy.
