Hi everyone, I'm trying to complete my post-ITA profile. But I'm not sure how to enter my teaching assistant and research assistant experience during my PhD time in personal history (I'm not claiming these for points). In my 5 years as PhD student, I was either a TA or a RA during Spring and Fall semesters, but not during summer and winter breaks. So if I enter them based on the exact dates of the TA/RA contract, then I would have 10 entries just for TA/RA!
What did you guys do?
Can I just enter "PhD Student/Teaching Assistant/Research Assistant" in the position field under Educational Activity for the duration of my PhD study? I mean, TA/RA is really just a part of my PhD, although I got stipends for doing those.

If you're not claiming points for your TA\RA experience, you don't need to mention it at all; it's part of your education. Your entire time as a PhD student can be covered by a single 5 year long "Education" entry.
I was a Masters student and an RA. I didn't mention my RA experience or my internships. Both my undergraduate and graduate studies were covered by two "Education" entries.
