    I have 9 months experience back in 07/08. I am about to do a refresher and I have an eight month contract with the company that's giving me the refresher. After the eight months would I be able to say on a job application that I have seventeen months or would it just be eight?

    Thank you

    I'd work hard at getting one year of recent experience at one company. That's what will have the most value. By that time your old experience will be more than three years old.
