You will need to provide detailed work experience documentation for your master's application in Germany or the UK, given your 12 years of experience and a 36-month gap.

Key documents include:
- Experience certificates/employment letters: On company letterhead, listing roles, dates, and duties
- Appointment/offer letters: Showing joining dates and positions
- Relieving letters: Confirming end dates and reasons for leaving
- Recent salary slips: Last 3 - 6 months
- Reference letters: Optional, but helpful
- CV: Full education and work history
- Gap explanation: A clear statement and supporting documents for your 36-month gap

All documents should be authentic, consistent, and in English (or with certified translations).
