Understanding What Relevant Experience Means - Glassdoor US

“Relevant experience” is a term that refers to tasks and duties at previous jobs that make you qualified for a new role. It doesn’t necessarily mean that you must have worked in the exact role or had the same job title before. Rather, relevant experience means that a candidate has the prerequisite knowledge needed to make them effective at a new job. Employers look out for relevant experience when hiring to fill a new position, especially for mid-level and senior positions. Experience can be relevant and transferable across industries and fields. You only need to find out how to craft your application to show why your past experience makes you a good fit.
James Schreier's insight:

From a few years ago, but a very important point that job seekers MUST understand!
