is Experience countable?

[kwfine]

Hi,
I just wonder if "Experience" is a countable noun or not.
I was writing my C.V. but then hesitating when I started writing something about my past experience on part-time jobs.

Could someone kindly help please?

Hi,

'Experience' in the sense of acquired knowledge from what you have done or seen or learnt is uncountable as in: She has had considerable expeience in information technology through her previous jobs.

'Experience' in the sense of one or more incidents/events that you have been involved in is countable as in: She had an unpleasant experience yesterday when she thought she had lost her front door key.

Hi,
In addition to Alan's advice, I'd like to recommend you a valuable dictionary (when it comes to determining what noun is countable and what is not):
http://dictionary.cambridge.org/define.asp?key=27061&dict=CALD
It is a British-oriented dictionary and does not cover tons of words, but I find it rather educational.
