What are Work Interests and Work Experience?
The work interests and work experience pages are located on the employee record to give your recruiting team another place to keep track of additional information they are gathering while interacting, interviewing, or on-boarding new employees.
You can locate both of these pages by navigating to an employee record and selecting details:
This article reviews the work interests and work experience page options.

Interest Codes
Interest codes can also be found on the employee visifile but their true home is here on the work interests page. Here you can check that you have validated any interest codes and add years and additional notes as needed. 
To learn more about interest codes, check out Enterprise - Managing Employee Interest Codes.
Interest codes can be added manually here by clicking the 
button but there are other ways that interest codes can be added to an employee record:
- When an employee record is first created via Resume Parser, the resume parser can attempt to parse skills that will show as interest codes on the employee's file.
- When an employee or applicant fills out the Skills Information Page in HRCenter, the web public skills they select will show on their record as interest codes.
Remember that Interest Codes can be skills, licences, preferences, etc. and are searchable and reportable.
Work Experience
The Work Experience page is a place that you can use to document some information about their job history.
Options here include free text fields for skills to learn/improve, jobs disliked and why, situations to avoid, etc.
- Keep in mind if this is part of an interview process, you may want to consider using the interview questionnaire.
- For skills and languages, we recommend using interest codes for more visibility and easy searching.
