Adding Work Experience

Your work experience helps recruiters understand your background and matches you with relevant positions. Detailed entries improve your match scores.

Before You Begin

• Have your employment history ready, including company names, titles, dates, and descriptions of your responsibilities.

Steps 1. Open Your Profile Editor

Navigate to Profile > Edit Profile and scroll to the Experience section.

2. Add a Work Experience Entry

Click Add Experience and fill in:

• Job Title — Your title at the position
• Company — The employer's name
• Location — Where you were based
• Start Date and End Date — Employment dates (leave End Date blank for your current position)
• Description — A summary of your responsibilities and accomplishments

3. Repeat for Additional Positions

Add entries for each relevant position. The most recent positions appear first.

4. Save Your Changes

Click Save to update your profile.

Tips

• Focus on responsibilities and accomplishments relevant to cleared work — mention specific technologies, frameworks, or programs you supported.
• If you worked on classified programs, describe your work at the highest unclassified level possible (e.g., "Supported a DoD intelligence program" rather than naming the program).
• Including 3–5 bullet points per role makes your experience easier for recruiters to scan.
