Hi all

I'd like some advice on how to format my registration application. I've watched one of the recorded webinars on the process and spoken to the professional registration engagement manager before I began my application process.

From both of those experiences, I was led to believe that my application was to be based on my most recent employment. So as I began my application, I expanded on my previous employment so it wasn't a list of bullets, but focused the UK SPEC on my current employment. As a draft, I started with Career Manager and did a self assessment, adding notes. The notes were useful for creating the draft, which I did in a blank document. My document format was as such:

------------------------------------------------

COMPETENCE A

A1.

Some words here about how my current employment history relates to A1.

A2.

Some words here about how my current employment history relates to A2.

COMPETENCE B

B1.

Some words here about how my current employment history relates to B1.

Etc.

---------------------------------------------------

When I had finished my draft, I copy/pasted it into my employment history section for the current employer, made sure that everything else was fine and then submitted to a professional registration adviser for intial review.

The feedback was that it was mainly there, but the format was unusual. I had assumed that the headings would be the unusual point, but without them I feet like it is a huge, rambling monlogue with no clear links to the UK SPEC. The PRA had then suggested that the application was for the entirety of my career and should reflect how I have developed my competencies over time. This feels in direct contrast to what I was told initially.

I'd like to understand how others have approached this and would gladly hear any suggestions and advice on how to prepare this correctly. Unfortunately I missed out on the Writing Evidence course that was held this week and will have to wait for the next one in February.
