Question

Nowadays I don't work, I was an accountant. how should I write this in a job info ?
I am filling an application and I don't know how to write that I was an accountant. can I use the word former or formerly ? 
accountant ( formerly)

Answer

I formerly worked as an Accountant.  or I worked as an Accountant from .... to .... or
I was employed as an Accountant.

Answer

There is something about the word 'formerly', I don't like. I would go with Leighs' answer: 'I was employed as an Accountant.' 'Employed' sounds more professional and serious. It puts the correct thought in your future employers mind.
