What was your work experience in? Is it full time or part time? Is it in one of 38 occupations?

It should be a paid job , it can be part time or full time, you have to fulfill other selection factors for this.

as far as i understand, it does count as work (provided it is skill level 0,A or B) even if you did it before you graduated. but i could be wrong. This is for FSW right? not for CEC.
yeah FSW

full-time work experience is defined as 37.5 hours per week for minimum of one year, or part-time equivalent
from your description, it doesn't sound like you had the type of experience they are looking for

because you said the work experience was "during" your college education

they will look very closely at this kind of claim of "full-time" work experience

you cant claim the points for the work experiance during education, but it will reflect positively for your application.
