experience in vs. experience with

[Sweetpumpkin]

One of difficult parts in English is prepositions. What's the difference between 'experience in' and 'experience with'? My dictionary says that the noun(or verb) 'experience' takes a prepositional phrase with just 'in'. But I could find lots of examples on the web showing 'experience with'. I think both are right, but there's some slight differences between them. Please let me know them!

Thank you in advance.

I am not surprised that both occur. 'Experience in' would tend to refer to a noun topic within a larger topic, while 'experience with' would tend to refer to a whole noun topic, I suppose.

I have experience in customer relations.
I have experience with customers.
