You’ll generally need the following documents to prove your professional experience for university applications:

- Reference letters from employers, on company letterhead and signed, stating your job title, duties, employment dates, and salary.
- Employment contracts or official appointment letters showing your position and tenure.
- Recent pay slips (usually last 3-6 months) to confirm active employment.
- Tax documents such as annual income statements or assessment notices.
- Official job descriptions outlining your responsibilities.
- If self-employed: Accountant’s statements and annual income summaries.

All documents should be clear, official, and in English (or have certified translations). Requirements can vary by country and university.
