4th sentence - "Enough" should come before "experience".

No. It is not. I am not a student. I am trying to translate some sentences to English from my language to improve my English.

1)The experience is gained by working.
2)You must gain more experience to advance in your career.
3)Gaining experience is important to advance in your or one's career. For advancement is better than to advance here.
4)The workers who didn't gain experience enough will not get a promotion.

I agree that in number 4, experience should precede enough. Also, given the contraction didn't in the first clause, won't is better than will not in the second. Parallelism or agreement is almost always better than disagreement.

I would not use the definite article in the first. You gain experience by working would work better for me.

ercantuncer, I asked you here to edit your post by leaving a space after every full stop (period). You ignored that then and you have repeated the same bad practice now.
