The Titanic took almost three hours to sink, giving at least some of the passengers time to regain their cool and remember their manners. Women were up to 54 per cent more likely to have lived than men, and under-15s were 32 per cent more likely to survive than the over-50s.
Or they might assume that you really didnât work during that time span, perhaps because you were unemployed. Either way, this can make your resume appear strangely incomplete. So when youâre deciding how far back to go in your work experience section on your resume, try to use some discernment and personal judgment. The ten year timeframe is fine as a general rule, but there are many reasons you might want to break that rule, so itâs up to you and what you think is appropriate for your situation.
Best Answer: Rule of thumb is put everything on an application, and be selective on a resume. If they don't say how far to go back in time, go back 10 years. I would fill in as many of the blanks as possible without going back more than 10 years. They are also looking at your work history and how long you stay in jobs, and the amount of time between jobs, not just experience. Yes, fill out the application as far as it has blanks and you have info. for those blanks.
