Just put the date when you had started working in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. You can also calculate your age as well with this tool by putting your date of birth in the From Date field and put current date in the To Date field. As an alternative, you can use the hassle-free and simple to use  Date Differentiator  micro webapp. Bookmark it so you may easily access it later.
