Synonym for "gain experience"
|

Hello, I am writing a letter where I �ve already used "gained experience" and I need to say something similar but with another verb and I just can �t decide which one is right : obtain, get, achieve ... Maybe the always nice and helpful native speakers here can give me a hand ? ;-) Thanks a lot !! Alicia

I believe �obtain � would be OK. Can you use a completely different phrase, such as �improve skills � or �further develop skills � or sth like that?

Thank you, Anita. I wrote "the experience I have gained" and I need something similar like "obtaining experience" , maybe ... Improve skills doesn �t fit there ... It �s a cv and it �s about gaining experience because he already has enhanced skills ... Thank you!

Thank you . The sentence goes " I attach my CV detailing the experience I have ____ in my career so far" ... gathered / obtained / acquired ? Apodo ?

gained is the best word. not gathered.
either obtained or acquired would be OK. Of those two I think I �d choose acquired.
