thanks folks,
i'm going to just write onto form, please see attached sheet, some jobs only lasted a week!
luckily i have the details from irish revenue as part of my rehab application....
My husband had another 10 years of history to document on top of what you're doing - so I feel your pain. On top of that he's a consultant (i.e. many short term jobs) and has lived in several different countries. it sucked. So glad it's long done.
Like you've suggested, don't bother writing any of the details on the form itself. Just type in "see attached" and then attach a printed sheet with the details. Good luck.
