I frequently see people write on their resumes for a teaching job that
they have "a great deal of experience in teaching people" one thing or
another.
It seems to me, however, that the proper way for a person to describe
his or her experience is to omit "in," so that the sentence reads, " I
have a great deal of experience teaching people" this or that thing.
Alternatively, I often wonder whether it would not be even better to
use the present perfect tense by writing, "I have had a great deal of
experience teaching people. . ., " as doing that indicates that the
experience was gained and still exists.
I was therefore wondering which of those sentences people here prefer.
Thanks very much in advance for your opinions.
