It depends what the work experience is. positions of responsibility - university/work society position, volunteering, reservist etc these would be great to include. if you were a waiter at a cafe and undertook a new responsibility such as promoting the cafe via social media showing your entrepreneurial, leadership and networking skills. It is all about how you phrase your experience. Is there anything you are interested in? train spotting, bird watching, football or travelling these can all be put in this section under hobbies.
Thanks a lot for your answer!
