Calculating years of experience

[jaychatterjee]

While filling out my EE profile, I am confused on how to best represent my total number of years of experience. I have been employed full time for 1.7 years till now, and I am not sure whether I should put my total years of experience as one or two.

Another Question I have is, should I mention the 2 internships I had while I was pursuing my MS degree? I have read that an internship is classified under apprenticeship and hence it is not considered in calculating years of experience.

- Year of experience will be counted as 1 in this case
- Yes that’s correct, Internship will not be counted since you were pursuing an MS degree

I have 1.7 years of foreign (in US) work experience.

What I am reading is 1 or 2 yrs work experience it will be the same

For 3 yrs work experience it will be close to double of the 1 or 2 yr points
