For example, if you work on holidays, weekends and breaks, average your actual total hours over the weeks in the past semester. Do not describe it as weekends and breaks. Also, show the type of work and level of responsibility.
Please also indicate if the work you are reporting is work-study. We also understand that, in some circumstances, an individual may be in a non-paying position that is time-consuming and negates the option to have a paid position. Please show these hours as non-paid work. For entrepreneurial activities, show time period, from and to, hours spent and money earned.
