[Tex/LaTex] latex missing “\item” when using itemize

errorsitemizelists

I am tryint to add a list of items in a latex document. I currently have this setup:

\documentclass[a4paper,10pt]{article} % Default font size and paper size


\begin{itemize}
\Item this is not a test
\end{itemize}

or 

\begin{itemize}
\item this is not a test
\end{itemize}

I get this error:

(/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/tex/generic/oberdiek/se-ascii-print.def)
Overfull \hbox (26.52249pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 61--67
[][]
! Undefined control sequence.
l.81 \Item
           this is not a test

How come I keep getting compile errors when I add this list to my document?

It was not a typo, I was just trying to express that I tried \item and \Item and they both gave me the same error.

I wanted a bullet list inside of a tabular section. I got around it by copy pasting a bullet and using a footnote sized text.

\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
\emph{Jun 2010 - Current} & Soccer Player at \textsc{University of ...}, City, Country \\
& \footnotesize {An excellent forward and some more stuff.... }\\\\
& \footnotesize {• bullet list item one} \\
& \footnotesize {• bullet list item two} \\
\multicolumn{2}{c}{} \\

%a few more items
\end{tabular}

it wasn't clear that you couldn't just add an itemized list between the begin and end tabular section so the latex compiler was throwing errors referring to the item.

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[T1]{fontenc}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{r|p{11cm}}
\emph{Jun 2010 - Current} & Soccer Player at \textsc{University of ...}, City, Country \\
  &  \begin{itemize}
    \item An excellent forward and some more stuff
    \item bullet list item one
    \item bullet list item two
  \end{itemize}
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
