need help about work experience
 

hi all!

Soon I am going to submit my EOI but i have some confusion about my work experience.

I am doing PhD in France and i dont know my research work will count as work experience or not? As I discussed with some people about this, am I a PhD student or a researcher. There answer is BOTH. I know for France is both but i want to show this on my EOI for NZ.

I read all of my contract with university and everywhere they mentioned me as Researcher and also on my visa of France clearly written that i am scientific researcher. If anyone knows about french system then guide me what to do. The exact title on my contract is written as:
"QUALITE D'ALLOCATAIRE DE RECHERCHE" In French
"QUALITY OF RESEARCH ALLOCATOR"In English

Note: I am getting the salary from university instead of scholarship
