I think they only care about actual jobs for which you are actually paid. However, they do care about periods of unemployment. They like there to be no chronological gaps in that list. So if you are currently an unemployed student I would make the top entry look something like this:
None (Full Time Student)_______Unemployed________July 2006________Present Time
The "(Full Time Student)" addition is probably unnecessary, but gives a slightly more complete picture than just sayiny that you're currently unemployed and have been for many months. :)

DON'T PANIC

I filled in the gaps of my employment history with the periods during which I had returned to school and had no issues. As HeatDeath stated, the important part is not to leave any gaps. Good luck!

This does bring up a good question though, what do you put if you were unemployed for a while?

Have one of the lines in the employment history read like this:

None [(<brief explanatory text, if any>)]__Unemployed___<start date of unemployment>___<end date of unemployment>

- Text in [] is optional.

- Replace text in <> with actual info.

Oh and not to hijack this thread but one more quick question. I had a few short temp jobs through different places in my overall period of unemployment. (usually no more than a week) is it ok to leave that out?

The G325a is "biographical". As such, showing student as occupation is more biographically descriptive than "unemployed". The same would apply to a stay at home parent.

A ) hijacking a thread isn't a moral failing :) But you'll get much wider readership and a far quicker response if you post your own thread.

B ) The instructions specify all employment. I would include everything. I had to do mine as a separate attachment pages because at one point I was a substitute teacher for 4 different school districts simultaneously. It makes the list longer but yes, I would include them.
