Folks,

I have two question.

- For personal history, do we need to add our travelling trips ? For example, in 2015 I went on a 2 weeks vacation to US while I was working for my current company.. Do I need to mention that travel anywhere in personal history form ? Or I just need to mention that in travel history only.

- Also, there is a lot of overlaps in my personal history. While I was studying, I was also working for my previous employer. Could that be an issue ? Would I have to provide a LOE for this ?

Thank you!

1) We did however we spent a month travelling without an overlapping job so we put "unemployed - travelling". If you were working during that period don't bother, just list it in travel history. Our vacations while working were only mentioned in travel history.
2) No problem, unless you are claiming work experience points during the overlaps. In this case maybe mention that you were working full time while studying

Perfect.. Thanks for your reply!

I am claiming points for that experience and reference letter does mentions about the job being full time. I will still mention the same in LOE to be on safe side.

No, I was doing distance learning while working in Pakistan. I have done ACCA and most of the people who do ACCA also work while studying.
