The phrase designates the section within the Common Application, a standardized application form used by many colleges and universities, where applicants are asked to provide information about their present work experience. This typically involves specifying the title and organization for which the applicant currently works, if applicable. For example, a student might enter “Tutor” as the job title and “Mathnasium Learning Center” as the organizational name.
Providing this information allows admissions committees to gain a fuller understanding of an applicant’s experiences, responsibilities, and time management skills outside of academics. Historically, this section has been a standard component of college applications, allowing a more holistic review of each candidate’s profile. Detailed and accurate entries in this field contribute positively to the overall impression an application makes.
