Graduate Level
Work Experience
Graduate
level work experience would normally be a role within a company
or institution that would require you to have a minimum educational
standard of a first-degree level qualification. You may not
necessarily hold a degree but the post held would normally require
one.
Senior Level
Work Experience
Senior
level work experience would normally be a role at board level
in a small company, in a larger business it could amount to
a department head or leader of project management team. Those
working in academia may have run a department or headed a research
team. We are likely to consider those who run their own businesses
that employ a number of staff as demonstrating senior level
work experience. A specialist position is normally envisaged
to be one that may not have any particular managerial role but
requires a very high level of technical or artistic expertise
Past Earnings
This
area requires you to demonstrate a minimum earned income in
your country of residence. In order to reflect differences in
income level across the world the level required to qualify
varies depending where you are live. The country you are living
in is considered not your nationality.
