It's good enough, because you definitely won't be qualifying based on your experience, but you should still add the number of hours per week you worked at each position and the pay per hour.

Be sure to get an official copy of your transcript as soon as possible, scan it into a .pdf file, and upload it to your USA JObs account. When you apply online, mark "Application Manager" as a favorite so that you can go in the next day and check the status of your application. Note your user id and password, as well.

I'd leave off the last line. You don't want to leave them with "focusing on the fashion industry."
