I am currently working on putting together the required work experience list for the NYS application. I have the projects that I've worked on broken down including the general time frame that I've worked on each project (ex: Sep 2016 - May 2015). The form then asks for the time in years and months that I am claiming for experience for each project. This is where my question comes into play.
Since I, as I am sure nearly everyone has, worked on more than one project at a time, the individual length of each project totals up to much longer than the 4 actual years of experience I am claiming on the application. I've had to add in extra sheets of the Part C to include all of the work experience. The application requires you to total up the time at the end of each sheet, so I was thinking that I would keep somewhat of an "actual" total instead of a "running" total per page.
Essentially, if page #1 has a project that ran from May 2015 - Mar 2015, I would enter "10 months" in the total for that sheet. Then if the next page has a project that ran from Aug 2015 - May 2016, I would enter "2 months" in the total for that sheet. This would show that even though I worked on two projects for 10 months each, the total experience time elapsed was only 1 year. However, there are a couple sheets where the work experience I have on that page are totally encompassed within the time period of a project on a previous page, meaning the work experience on the page would be "0 months." I don't want to send in pages that say even though I've worked on three projects each for say 6 months, the total time I'm claiming for these projects are 0.
Has anyone ever done it this way and come up with a solution? Am I looking at the work experience incorrectly? Should I just pick a few representative projects that show the qualifying work experience?
