What does a starting and ending position mean in a job application?
When applying for jobs, you may see a section titled "Starting Position" and "Ending Position". These two fields are used to indicate the dates you held the position you are listing on your resume.
Starting Position: This is the date you began working in the position. It should be the first day you were employed in that role, even if you were not yet fully trained or had not yet started performing all of the duties of the position.
Ending Position: This is the date you left the position. It should be the last day you were employed in that role, even if you were not working full-time or had not yet completed all of your responsibilities.
It is important to be accurate when filling out these fields, as they can be used by potential employers to verify your work history. If you are unsure of the exact dates you held a position, you can check your pay stubs or contact the former employer to confirm.
