I've been here a month and i'm planning to get a job. I tried filling out a job application form and there's a portion there asking about Previous Work Experience. My question is, since i've only been here a month and no job experience yet here in the UK, can i put my previous work experience in the philippines and the companies i worked for there instead? Or will they not consider that? If they won't, should i leave that portion in the application form blank? Or are there any better ways and options u can suggest? I could use some advice :)

yes list your previous jobs but be aware that your qualifications and experience will not be as highly rated as it would at home in the Phils

good luck

hello po...
just include your job experience in the philippines, just to show them that you have done or you have such experience..and another advice be confident when you got a call from the companies you applied for,,,show them, tell them or sell your capabilities to them,,,tell them that even tho your past job is not here in uk, you are still capable and flexible to the job here...
good luck in your job hunting:BouncyHappy:
