@iamshellyan some suggestions and improvements that you can make to this document.

Self-employment is a type of employment so you don't need to add a section for that, a field in the employment section should capture this type.

Try to avoid repeating fields that are already captured in another section, that have the same meaning, instead make a reference to that section, for example:

Field	Type	Description
address	Address	The employment address.
