TLDR : Answer Summary
When filling out the profession section on the soft power application, honesty is advised. One commenter suggests stating your true status, while another indicates that being financially stable is important, even if you choose to mark yourself as unemployed. A lighthearted suggestion also proposes humorously claiming a whimsical profession like 'F1 driver' or 'moviestar'—however, this may not be advisable if you're required to sign the application.

cleaning service.

BUT do not use that or any other make up job IF you want to sign this.

OR

Refuse to sign and just write F1 driver or moviestar.

What's your age and work status?

I'm on a sabbatical with trading as full time profession, I put unemployed but ensured that my application looked financially strong.

Just try and ensure that application projects financial stability.
