from my personal experience…
it doesnt matter how little you wright, just read what you write from the perspective of someone who knows nothing about what it is that you do..flesh it out enough for someone to understand, so bullet point is fine, just make it complete…
it took less than a full day for my work approval

i have applied for 3 days, but the status seems unchanged…

It took me about two or three days for CFA Institute to approve my work experience. But it’s been nearly 20 days and my Society has yet to approve my application.

Are you write it in a detailed essay form?

Damn, I didn’t elaborate on my job description. I just selected the relevant “job category” and then in job description i put ”investment banking analyst” for a 12 month job and “credit research analyst” for my current 56 month job.
My references Im assuming noted in the reference form that my work experience is appropriate….
Hope I’m okay even though I didnt write any details…..

No, I used bullet points. Maybe three or four for each job I’ve had. Pretty much a copy / paste from my resume.

I used copy paste bullet points from my last two job descriptions. Within 24 hours of I submitting, both CFA institute and the local CFA Emirates society approves, I paid the dues and was a regular member.
