Hey!
I’m working through my UAlberta DDS application for this cycle and wanted some advice on the employment section.
You’re allowed up to 3 entries for employment, with a 250-character brief description that entails the role.
One of my entries will for sure be the place I’ve worked at for the last 2 years, except summers, where I’m a behavioural aide for kids with disabilities.
Over this past summer and summer 2025, I worked at a day camp for kids with disabilities. In 2025, I was a senior counsellor, and this past summer, I was a supervisor of the camp.
Another role I have is at an amusement park, where I worked during the summers from 2022–2024, so 3 summers total, and have a lot of hours. However, it was not too recent, and I’m not sure if it makes my application stand out.
My question is whether I should use all 3 of these in the entries and combine my 2 roles from the summer camp into one entry, or if I should have 2 separate entries for the summer camp, use the behavioural aide role as another entry, and exclude the amusement park role.
Also, am I allowed to combine the 2 summer camp roles into one entry since they were at the same organization, even though I held different positions each summer?
