How to correctly fill the work history when my work hours were varying depending on a season?

Hi there! I worked part-time for one retail company for 4 years in total. In the beginning, I was working 10-15 hours/week and then my hours dropped to 5-10/week. There were a few months where I didn't work at all. And I think that in the last half a year I worked 10 hours in total. How do I currently put the Hours Per Week in the Express Entry application?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone? I'm sure I'm not the only one with this question!

add gross total working hours according to ur payslips or inland revenue and then divide this total sum by the total number of weeks spread out ur employment time frame. You should get a number of average hours per week. U may need to seek more expert advice if your average hours per week unfortunately falls below 15 hours per week as that’s stated as the equivalent for a part-time requirement.

Thank you! I think I might have to talk to the lawyer or just list this experience as my personal history later in the PR application since it's not related to my NOC. CIC advices to list the experience for the past 10 years in the EE application. I do have 2 years of relevant work experience under my NOC that is supposed to grant me the ITA, but I also had literally 9 odd jobs that I had while I was in school that were all part-time. I don't necessarily want to include those in the EE, and they don't give me any points anyway.
