Question about work experience.

Here in Switzerland you have 4 years of apprenticeship. (School + work, 50/50)
After that most uf us go to a higher degree (BSc oder MSc). Both can be taken part-time. Again about 50/50 school + work.

Now: Do you count thoses years as 8 or 4 or 0 work experience?

    An apprenticeship does not count as experience because you are learning a job

    Me? I'd count it as something between 4 and 8. But I'd expect you to day you have 0 years if experience except the eight years of apprenticeship, rather than any number of years of experience.*

    * I never actually ran into that situation but I do read a lot of CVs.

    Sure it does. Maybe just say "8 years of apprenticeship"
