Column 2 – Employment and achievement history, including jobs, volunteer work, community service and any achievements or awards.

Column 3 – Jobs you aspire to hold, either in the short term (for example, a summer job or internship, an after-school job or a volunteer position) or in the long term, or fields in which you might be interested in working.
