I'm not going mad am I?

[lucysnowe]

... it is right to say

"I have eight years' experience' or 'with eight years' experience'

or don't I need the apostrophe? eek!!

"I have eight years' experience" sounds better to me (and, yes, you do need apostrophe) but it depends on overall context of the sentence.

I have eight years of experience?

"of" would solve the problem wouldn't it! I've been putting the sentence in my CV and have thought aha a lovely apostrophe, that'll impress them but now I am a bit worried it looks wrong (even if it isn't!).

With eight years of experience ... ?
