Hi seniors...I got placed with TCS but still waiting for my joining...meanwhile I did freelance web content writing and an internship in market research . Would this period from june2016 till now be counted as an unaccountable period? Should this period be mentioned in that coloumn of unaccountable period?
04:48 PM

Hi, if you were paid for that or have certificates to support that you can write is as a part of your work experience . Basically if you have some proof to substantiate that then it wont be counted as unaccountable period.
