How far back on job history is acceptable?

Question:

If you're filling out an LE application and it DOES NOT specify how far back to list your prior work experience, what is a good point, 5 years, 10 years?

thanks

Like nearly all employment-related questions, the best way to find out the answer is to ask someone in authority at the agency to which you are applying.

Most of the places I have applied at have all been the same. 10 years, but just like the other post, call and ask, better to be safe than sorry

Depends on Your Age

All jobs if under say 25
If older applicant say 35 to 40 back 10 to 15.
Remember that the avg person changes jobs 5 to 6 times.
You have to account for any gaps also like a 6 month period of life you can't explain where you were & what you were doing will raise a red flag
