Open Profile

Add Work Experience

Add Position Information
In the New Work Experience tray, enter the name of the company you worked for [1], your position or role [2], and a description of the position [3].
To add hyperlinks in the description, use markdown formatting. Type the text you want to link in brackets [4] and then type the destination URL between parentheses [5]. There should be no space between the closing bracket and the first parenthesis.
To add an image for the work experience, click the Add an image icon [6] and select an image from your computer or connected social media accounts.
Add Position Dates
Use the Start Date drop-down menus [1] to indicate the date you started the position. If you are entering a previous work experience, use the End Date drop-down menus [2] to indicate the date you left the position.
If the position is your current position, select the Current position toggle [3]. If the Current position toggle is enabled, Canvas Student ePortfolios will leave the end dates blank, indicating this is your currently held position.
To save the work experience, click the Save Changes button [4].
Note: The display order of your entries is determined by the end date of each entry in reverse chronological order. If two entries have the same end date, those items will be arranged alphabetically.
