Nexus - Work experience
Add each job once with full detail here; pick and tailor what appears on each CV later in Studio.
Work experience is the most important Nexus area for most users. Each role should be accurate enough to trust and detailed enough to reuse across CVs.
Open Work experience from Nexus, or choose Nexus in the sidebar to land there directly.
Add a new role

- Add seniority, industry, location, and employment type where relevant.
- Add responsibilities, skills, and optional projects, files, or references.
- Save the record.
Verify: The role appears in the list with correct dates; Dashboard career span updates after save.
Details vs Timeline views
| View | Best for |
|---|---|
| Details | Editing one record; skills, labels, review status, import indicators |
| Timeline | Spotting gaps, overlaps, or incorrect chronology |
If Alynd suggests filling a gap, decide whether that period should be a recorded role before adding placeholder data.
Write strong responsibilities
Write one idea per line. Prefer specifics over generic duties:
| Generic | Stronger |
|---|---|
| Managed stakeholders | Led weekly steering meetings with product, engineering, and operations leads to unblock delivery decisions. |
| Improved reporting | Rebuilt monthly reporting workflow, reducing manual spreadsheet work and improving visibility of delivery risks. |
| Worked on migration | Coordinated migration planning, testing, and rollout across legacy and replacement systems. |
Do not invent metrics. If you know a number, include it; if not, describe scope and outcome honestly.
Skills and labels
Add skills that genuinely belong to the role. Apply labels when you want Dashboard grouping and clearer tailoring themes—for example Product, Delivery, Data, or Leadership.
Projects, files, and references
| Feature | When to use it |
|---|---|
| Projects | Work that needs more context than one responsibility line |
| Files | Role descriptions, briefs, appraisals, samples (after the record is saved) |
| References | Contact details you are comfortable storing with the role |
Review imported roles
Imported roles may show Needs review. Before relying on them in Studio:

- Replace generic responsibilities with specific evidence.
- Deduplicate or refine skills.
- Add seniority, industry, salary, projects, or files if missing.
- Save the record.
Salary and currency
Salary is a numeric field; the currency symbol comes from Profile.
