Hi Guys,

Sorry for the lame question but it's driving me crazy.

In the work experience portion of the application data form, when I go to add an employer, there's a list of several fields I have to fill in. Towards the bottom, the fields are listed as follows:

-Industry:
-Job Function:
-Direct/Indirect Reports: (If none, enter 0. Do not include team members.)
-Description:

There's a large blank text box next to "Description", does anybody know what information this is looking for? Do they want a description of my job function or details about my direct/indirect reports (since that's the field immediately preceding the "Description" field.

Sorry if I'm being clueless, but if you have any idea, I'd be extremely grateful to know.

Many thanks.

Description of your job function seems the most likely. Look at character count for job function. If it is small then the description is where you will add detail.
