I am preparing for my interview at the end of this month and here is my situation:

I held three part-time jobs in college from 1997-1999. I remember the names of the places I worked and the order that I worked at each place and that's about it.

Here is what the email says to bring "Complete employment history for last 10 years – Company name, address, phone number, Supervisor’s name (*HR Dept can be used) brief job description and the month and year of employment".

How big of a deal is it that I don't remember the exact months that I was employed at each part-time job? Should I just list the places of employment with approximate dates? I am probably overthinking all of this but all I have heard is the importance of having all your stuff together. Thanks for your help.

I can't vouch for sure, but you may have to bring W2 to verify employment. I worked for a company for a couple of years during college and I'll have to bring a W2 per the e-mail. I would just give the people you worked for a call and see if they could verify employment. All XJT needs is the month and year if I understand correctly.

I don't have a W2. This employment was 8-10 years ago. 2 of the 3 places are no longer in business. The email just said to bring a W2 if:

Tax & W-2 Forms: You will need tax form if one of the following applies to you:

1 A business you worked at in the past 5 years is now out of business

2 You were self-employed within the past 5 years

3 Any unemployment gaps greater than 6 months (these gaps can be covered with school transcripts if applicable

None of this applies. Employment was 8-10 years ago and just part time stuff.

Huh, I don't know what to tell ya there. There's a phone number you can call to get copies of tax returns -- 1-800-829-1040 -- assuming you filed your income from these jobs.
