UCAS Employment Section

Hello, I have already finished and submitted my UCAS application. In the employment section I have filled in the jobs which I've had in the past, but I just got employed for a full time position. Is that section on the application important, as in, do I need to ring up and let them know that I need to change that section on my application, or does it not matter? Thank you!

No. It's not important. Don't worry about it.

That section is really designed for older applicants (21+) to explain any relevant work experience - not for school leavers.

I am 21 years old. Do you suggest I ring UCAS then?

Only if the job is directly relevant to the subject/course you've applied for, ie. you'll be doing work/learning skills that might make an Admissions Tutor now view you differently.

If its just a general job that has no connection to the course/subject then don't bother telling UCAS or the individual Unis - they won't be interested.
