How many of you have filled out the employment sections of this. Is it necessary to do so? Thanks.

All it does is autofill the information for you so you don't have to do it for each application. Why would you not do it?

It autofills lots of stuff in the wrong places on some applications. Don't do it.

I think mine were about 80% correct. So I had to fix 20% of them and add stuff to some. So I would still say that saves a lot of time.

Triple-check ALL the info on the apps! Yes, it will autofill, but quite often it is not correct.

The autofill also works the other way. I put info on a school's app and it then made its way to the next school's app automatically without putting it on the common information form.
