When applying for a job should I list my most recent jobs or my relevant past jobs?

I've had many different jobs over the years in many different areas: clerical, laborer, restaurant, driver, etc.





When applying for a new job, on the application it will say "List your previous 3 jobs". Suppose I was applying for a clerical position. Should I list my most recent jobs, or the ones pertaining to clerical experience?





Thanks!

Answer the question on the application just like it says. You should list the last 3 jobs that you had. You don't want to make it seem like you've had huge gaps in employment. When you get the interview that's when you fill them in on your past jobs that pertain to the position with which you are currently applying.
Reply:I believe by providing recent data of employment in your application form is more significant to evaluate your experiences. I believe it also requires you to disclose the inclusive years in the jobs that you had before. When you choose to disclose only your clerical job experiences in various companies, there will be vaccuum on the work experience period.
Reply:I would do the ones that pertain to the position. The employeer want to know what you can do for him in his business not that you could re-tile his kitchen....Also do the ones where you worked the longest (shows you have commitment.)
