how do you date-rize your employment if you are still employed?

Applying to College
1

<p>on the commonapp, it asks you to put your work experience in the following format:</p>

<p>approximate dates (mm/yyyy to mm/yyyy)</p>

<p>what if you still are and will be employed?</p>

2

<p>i think it is</p>

<p>starting date to present</p>

<p>ex: 10/2005 - present.</p>

3

<p>Agreed, that's what i put last year.</p>

4

<p>you can't put letters!</p>

<p>i'm applying online</p>

5

<p>put the date that you are filling out the application aka today's date.</p>

6

<p>but if you know you'll stay on the job for at least another year?</p>

<p>my point is, would colleges look at (05/04-12/2011) and say wth?</p>

7

<p>can you leave the end date blank?</p>

8

<p>hmm, maybe they'll interpret the blank as incomplete as opposed to present? i donlt know. maybe i'll put 2011.</p>

9

<p>I thought it would be a good idea to put in something like 08-2006 when you would be leaving the job to attend college. Anyone agree with this?</p>

<p>no, my job is not restricted by geography. it's a very long time commitment</p>
