Django - retrieve form data

I am trying to send a form through ajax call to django view as follows:

    $.ajax({
            type: 'POST',
            url: "{% url 'edit_experience' %}",
            data: {
                  item_id : itemId,
                  form: $("#sample-form").serialize()
            },
            beforeSend : function() {

            },
            success: function (data) {

            },
            error: function(data) {

            },
            complete : function() {

            }
});

I am able to see the data being posted to the http server:

form    role=Fresher&organization=TestOrganization&description=Hard+work+pays
item_id 3

My problem is in the server side where I am trying to fetch the data. I am able to access the item_id but I am having a problem accessing the form elements:

In Django View:

def edit_experience(request):
     request.POST['form']['role']
     return ....

This does not fetch the role. What is the correct way to fetch all the form attributes??

Kindly help. Thanks in advance.

To fetch attributes from the querystring you can use QueryDict:

from django.http import QueryDict
d = QueryDict(request.POST['form'])
role = d['role']
