Hi, do you mean sb or sth?

The grammar is OK, but the meaning is wrong. You don't want an assistant with 'an experience' in the office. That means just one experience which is useless as an assistant. You want an assistant with many experiences or simply 'experience' in the office.

Yeah, that's it! Then, what about A, "a knowlege of French" doesnot sound good?
