You should think of your Detailed Record of Experience as a professional report covering between 5 and 15 pages of A4.
You need to explain to the assessors exactly what you did, why you did it, how you did it, how often and the outcome. It is also useful to mention where possible the difference your work made to each project.
Starting with the earliest relevant experience first you should put the 'name of the organisation', 'your job title', 'the job title of the person you reported to', and the 'dates on which you started and finished' as a heading.
You then need to identify the key tasks you carried out in each role. Ideally you should structure your detailed record of experience around these key tasks rather than around the practical experience requirements - although they will inevitably overlap occasionally.
As you write consider all the following aspects and try (as appropriate) to cover them:
- Who did you report to, and perform the task for?
- How did you actually approach the tas, adn carry it out?
- How often did you do it?
- Why did it need to be done?
- Who was the end-user?
- What software/IT id you employ to do the task?
- How many people help you do it?
- Were you responsible for the end result?
- Were you given additional responsibilities?
The assessors prefer applicants not to use bullet points, particularly when you are describing your core experience. It is also probably better to write in the first person as this makes it clear what you are actually responsible for.
As a general rule the more complex the job the more you will have to write.
