Working Experience Or Work Experience

Question

Should we use 'work experience' or 'working experience' as the subject of categories in resumes ?

In addition, is "work experience" (BrE) = "internship" (AmE) in English?

I google these two phrases.

Some people said:

"Internship" tends to be of rather longer duration than "work experience".

Is this correct?

Any help would be appreciated !

Thanks !

I have never heard that, no.

Not to me it isn't. In fact, I think it's more likely to be the reverse. To me work experience is a list of all the places you've worked, with a short description of the job you did while you worked at each place. Your work experience is as long as your life so far, assuming you've kept working until now. To me an internship can be at least two different things: It might be a limited and specific training program during which you are learning a specific skill or specialty, or it might be a limited trial period at a job after which you may be hired if the company likes your work. In either case it can be listed as one of the items in your 'Work Experience' list.

I've noticed that as well. In the UK the word apprenticeship is often used.
