However, on the global entry application form it wants 5 years of employment history. I wasn't working during high school so I just put down unemployed as from 2008 to january 2013 (I now intern at a small lab company)
I'm worried I may be denied since I have little employment history.
I am just wondering; What actually happens at a global entry application interview? Do they need an application to have employment history?
What are other peoples experience's with the global entry interview?
Thanks.

We faced your issue when my son applied for GE. He is in his early 20s and has been a full time student for 6 years (currently finishing professional school).
We called the help line for GE and just put in something like "Full Time Student" for the occupation.
Just make sure that everything in the application is totally accurate and once approved bring in any documentation as outlined in your conditional approval letter.
My son was approved in about a week and there was absolutely no issue at the interview with his being a student and not having an employment history.
