Do you consider it as job experience doing research while pursuing PhD degree?

June 82010

My university PhD program lets us take classes for the first 2 years before we have to sit for written and oral exams. Once we passed them, we are elevated to candidacy. After that we work full time on our research. We are known as research assistant, doing research, presenting papers and writing papers. Would you consider our year 3 till graduation as having job experience?
Stephen, would a person who has been in academia for 20-30 years will not have job experience sinde he/she is not in industry?

nope. you definitly put it on your resume, but it is not job experience because its not in industry.

Is job experience required for waitressing jobs?

May 252010

I want a summer job waiting tables when I go back home from school for about three months at a place like Johnny Rockets, California Pizza Kitchen, Louise’s or Mimi’s Cafe. I don’t have job experience in dining or food… so I don’t know whether or not it would be a good idea if I invested my time looking through jobs like that. I’m also 18, and not sure whether restaurants hire waitress/waiters that young. =/
