Gaps in my Employment history

Hi Guys,

I am due to apply for my naturalization in March 2016 and have been living in UK since Oct 2006 and I saw that we have to fill in "Employment history in UK during past 10 years, or since date of entry if you have been here for less than 10 years" and below are my employment details since from Oct 2006 which has gaps in between my employment

27th Oct 2006 - 11th July 2010
19th July 2010 - 18th Oct 2011
4th Jan 2012 - 28th Feb 2013
6th May 2013 - 27th June 2014
7th July 2014 - 28th June 2015
13 July 2015 - Till Date

Basically, I got these details over Phone from HMRC and was unemployed during those gap periods.
My query is what shall I fill in the AN form for those gap periods.

Any inputs would be useful.

Many Thanks
MNB

If you were unemployed for periods it will not affect your application. Just write 'unemployed' and the period it covers.

Employment is not a requirement but you do need to fill in the employment section truthfully.

Thanks for your swift reply and below is the order I have filled in my Application form.


27th Oct 2006 - 11th July 2010 EmployerA Emp_A_Address
12th July 2010 - 18th July 2010 Unemployed "Address left blank"
19th July 2010 - 18th Oct 2011 EmployerB Emp_B_Address
19th Oct 2011 - 3rd Jan 2012 Unemployed "Address left blank"
4th Jan 2012 - 28th Feb 2013 EmployerC Emp_C_Address
1st Mar 2013 - 5th May 2013 Unemployed "Address left blank"
6th May 2013 - 27th June 2014 EmployerD Emp_D_Address
28th June 2014 - 6th July 2014 Unemployed "Address left blank"
7th July 2014 - 28th June 2015 EmployerE Emp_E_Address
29th June 2015 - 12th July 2015 Unemployed "Address left blank"
13 July 2015 - Till Date EmployerF Emp_F_Address


Please confirm does this look OK.

Many Thanks

Yup, should be fine.

Thanks for your help ... much appreciated.

Just state your periods of employment, periods of unemployment, etc. You probably know already that employment is not a requirement for citizenship. Leaving unexplained gaps may invite follow-up queries.

I've already submitted my application with NCS, but Ive just put y employers and when I worked for them. I didnt fill the gaps between stating - unemployed- as some gaps were few days or 1-2 weeks. Do yuo think they will call for explanation or just refuse application? I hope they will call before they reject
