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.

Sorry, no. I’ve read a lot of CVs of ABDs and new PhDs and this would not count. Since you are working on the research for your dissertation, this is school, not work. You should obviously mention it on your CV, but not under "employment" or "work experience."
