Hi Ved555/or Sajhagoers I got a question for you. Let us hypothesize that the person A has taken the part time instructor job in Y institution for a year in Nepal. Taking into consideration that A's work 2 hours/week Then, A joins some university aboard as a full time research student towards PhD degree under university scholarship program. But, in passport A has already mentioned profession as lecturer. Now, does his study aboard working in lab as research student can be counted in his job experience? Does it really matter about the pay scale of the applicant or not? Thanks for info.
