Meaning
Knowledge or skill gained through doing rather than theory.
Cultural Background
In Iran, 'Tajrobe' is often associated with age and grey hair (Gis-sefid). However, 'Tajrobe Amali' is the modern way for young people to claim authority. In Afghanistan, the term is also widely used in NGO and development sectors to describe field-tested skills. Tajik speakers might use 'Таҷрибаи амалӣ' (Tajribai amali), which is the Cyrillic equivalent, with very similar connotations. In the traditional bazaar, 'Tajrobe Amali' is the only thing that matters. A 'Shagerd' (apprentice) only becomes a 'Ostad' (master) after years of action.
Use it in your CV
Always use 'تجربه عملی' instead of just 'کار' to sound more professional and skill-oriented.
Don't overuse it
If you say it too many times in one paragraph, it sounds repetitive. Mix it with 'مهارت' (skill).
