Some time ago in the further education sector, in which I taught, we hosted an expert in CV preparation. One of the points the expert made is that in a modern CV one puts one's experience at the top of the CV because the employer will not read much further if one does not have the experience required for the job. One puts oneself forward with the necessary experience. To return to what Senator McDowell said, experience in a particular area of law might be a vital part of the appointment that is required at a particular time. The word "experience" is very relevant in this case.
