Grammar fix
gain experience
get experience
to do things or have situations that help you learn new skills or knowledge, especially over time.
Hear it in context
Notice where the phrase sounds natural.
I want to gain experience in customer service before I apply for a full-time job.
In my opinion, students should do part-time jobs to gain experience and learn important life skills.
Fix the pattern
One small grammar move makes it sound right.
Not: I want to gain experiences in marketing.
Say: I want to gain experience in marketing.
Here 'experience' (skill/knowledge) is uncountable — no plural. ('Experiences' = individual events.)
Which sounds natural?
Tap the one a native speaker would say.
'Gain experience' is the natural collocation; 'accrue valuable professional experience' is CV-jargon.
