Hi all
Some PhD students have full time teaching positions at the university too. In this case, how will the CIC determine their work experience? Will such experience be counted as full time? Or what?

Thanks for sharing ...

I am really not sure if PhD students have "full time" work unless it is after they qualify and reach "All but Dissertation" status.
This applies to foreigners in USA on an F1 or J1 status, to the best of my knowledge. I think American citizens themselves can do more.
But I am willing to be enlightened.
If however it is indeed full time status (40 hours per week or more) then you should reflect it as full time status.

Thank you, the contract says "full time" and full time here means 40 hrs a week. However, as the student is also a "full time" student, I was wondering if that would really count as full time.
