Bedeutung
Knowing many things.
Kultureller Hintergrund
Norwegians value 'generalists' who can handle multiple tasks. This is often called being a 'potet' (potato). Having 'bred erfaring' is the professional way to say you are a 'potet'. In the US, 'broad experience' is valued, but there is often a stronger emphasis on 'specialization'. In a US context, you might need to back up 'broad experience' with specific achievements. In Japanese corporate culture, 'broad experience' is often gained through 'job rotation' within the same company, whereas in Norway, it is often gained by switching companies. German professional culture, like Norwegian, values the distinction between 'Erfahrung' (practical) and 'Kenntnisse' (knowledge). 'Breite Erfahrung' implies you have actually done the work.
Use it in your CV summary
Place 'Bred erfaring innen [felt]' in the very first sentence of your CV to catch the recruiter's eye.
Don't overdo it
If you use 'bred erfaring' for every single skill, it loses its impact. Save it for your main strengths.
