Can somebody help me, please.
On an employment application I was asked for "Midian years with current employer."
What does this mean? |

Median = the middle value of a series of values arranged in order of size.
So median years with current employer seems a bit strange.. |

No, It definitely said MIDIAN, not median.
I cannot find it in any dictionary. |

Mystery solved. I telephoned. It is a misprint. It should be median. They wanted job experience in years.
Many thanks Asterix for help. Sorry for inconvenience. |
