Experienced in or "experienced of"?

Question

What is the correct use of experienced, with *in* or *of*? For example, > I have experienced **in** system development. > > I have experienced **of** system development.

Answer 1

Experience (n)

Experienced (adj.)

Like Olesia said above, you would use:

Experience IN + noun (programming, coding, system development)

or

Experience WITH + noun (usually a noun thing,vs activity) children, high- paced work environment, Photoshop, Revit

Experience OF is only used when explaining your reaction to or critique of something. As in: My experience of that textbook was not good. I didn't find it helpful.

I'm guessing you are asking this question to help you in writing your resume or cover letter, in which case you would not use "experience of".

Experienced + job title (Experienced programmer; experienced system administrator; experienced English tutor)

Experienced IN + programs, skills, activities (Experienced in AutoCad, Experienced in collaborating with multiple stakeholders)

NOTES:

*No "I" on resume

*Experienced IN sounds stronger than experience with. We assume a greater skill level.

Best of luck in the job hunting (if I am correct in my assumption)

Answer 2

I have experience/I am experienced + with + noun (dogs)

I have experience/I am experienced + in + gerund (handling dogs)

I have experience/I am experienced + of + situation (meeting huge aggressive dog face to face)

Answer 3

The word experienced in the model you offered is an adjective, it does not require a modifier such as in or of.

In the example you have given, system development, the word ,experienced, would not be used because you are not system development.

Possible ways of ways of using the word experienced in your example are:

experienced system developer - which means you have experience in developing systems. The word experience tells the reader what level of system developer you are at the moment, it modifies the words system developer.

If you use the word experience (no d), it is now able to be used as a noun.

The noun usage might be something like, "I have experience in system development." as suggested in another answer. In this case, experience is a thing (noun) you have, and system development describes/modifies the thing you have.

As a verb or action of experiencing it might be something like, "I am experiencing some frustration with writing my cover letter for the system developer position.." In this case, experiencing is the thing you are doing.

Hope this answer helped you a little bit. I am happy to look at whatever you are working on and offer guidance.

Answer 4

Or "I have experience in system development" (dropping the 'd' to make experience a noun).

Answer 5

If you have experience, then you can have "experience in" something: for example: experience in education or experience in marketing. You can also be experienced in education or marketing, but never "experienced of." You can also have the "experience of" going to a foreign country or the "experience of" skydiving. "Of" indicates you have had an actual experience, while "in" is used for skills or professions/jobs.
