What to fill under occupation if you have quit your job [duplicate]

I have worked as a Software Engineer for around 4 years, but I do not have a permanent job right now (aside from some freelance work). My passport says my profession is Software Engineer.

I am visiting Germany for a job interview. I have the required documents from the company interviewing me.

In the visa application form, under occupation, should I choose No Occupation, or should I choose an occupation (Software Engineer is not listed. The closest I can find is 'Computer Expert'). If I do choose an occupation should I keep the Employer's Name blank or should I put N/A?

This is a link to the application form for your reference.

I would suggest to make it accurate. If you don't have a job, then say that you don't have a job. Saying that you have a job while you don't might be seen as an attempt to trick the decision process and will not play in your favor, especially if it is unveiled at a point.

In the reason for the travel, you could specify that you are coming for a job interview.

Good luck!
