Can't provide evidence of work done in previous job

Mitchell Jamieson Smith
Do I need to provide evidence of work done if I use it as part of my PR application?


I'm currently compiling evidence of work done to meet the UKSPEC, however I have a two year gap in my work history where I worked for the NHS as a rehabilitation engineer. My current employer want me to aim for CEng in the next four years, but think I could get IEng next year if I can use my time in the NHS.


During that time I did not work on PR as it wasn't encouraged and I had a very busy personal life. I recently phoned up my old department manager, but she refused to let me have any records (eg photos, paperwork) of the work I did on the basis that she 'didn't know if I actually did it' (she just started when I left).


Thanks for your help.


Yours Sincerely,

Mitchell Smith

    Mitchell,

    I wouldn't worry unduly about it. What they are looking for with Professional Registration is what you are doing now and have been doing in the recent past so if you are aiming for CEng in the next four years then this will be about right for the period of intense interest with the previous employment history to show your develoment being of interest but not critical (assuming that before the NHS your experience was relevant).

    The idea of going for IEng in the next year is a good one, since it will give you experience of the process and help you to judge the feasibility of then proceeding to CEng within the four year period.
