  1. A has many years of experience in material design and production technology.

  2. A has many years of experience with material design and production technology



I have seen both 'with' and 'in' followed by 'experience". If I want to convery the meaning a company or a person has worked in the areas of material design and production technology for many years and is experienced, which preposition should I choose?

In my opinion, in could be used when you are referring to a topic or a field of study, e.g. "experience in web design, experience in robotics". and with sounds more natural for me if used with a tool or concrete technology, e.g. "Experience with CCS, javascript, Experience with sensors".



Summarizing, I think in could be used when the experience was gained by being exposed or being involved in a field, while with could be used for experience gained by using something.



This is what I understand as a non-native English speaker.

    Think of the example of a farmer. He works IN a field WITH a plough.



    Most areas of work are likewise referred to as "fields". So when you are speaking about your "field" of work, you would say you have experience in it.



    However, both can be very useful when writing a CV/resume or a job application. For example, let's say that you were applying for a job in the field of ICT and you wanted to demonstrate your experience. If you had already worked in that field or similar, you would want to detail that. But maybe you have worked in an unrelated field (say, general administration) but that role contained an element of ICT. You couldn't legitimately claim you had worked in ICT but you could show that you have some transferrable skills by detailing the things you worked with.



    For example:




    I have 3 years' experience working in an ICT technical role.




    or




    I have 3 year's experience working with SQL databases.
