@HeyThereMaddie not sure kung may nag-advise na sayo ng ganito re: COE from your previous company, but I just want to share yung ginawa ko. One of my past companies closed down na & hassle kontakin ex-boss ko & dating HR for COE with JD. I read somewhere here in pinoyau in past posts na you can get an ex-colleague to write you up a COE with JD, better kung mas mataas syang position sayo when you were working there together. Importante kse JD kse that's one of the ways they assess kung maca-count yung years of employment with that company under the occupation na inapplyan mo. So I got a friend from that company who happened to be a manager then, wrote how he knew me as a colleague, and a bullet-point list of my JD. At least 5 points advisable ata, if I'm not mistaken. Take note, the JD should match your nominated occupation.
Ayun, nag-work naman. Approved V189 & now living in Brissy for >2 years now. =)
I hope that helps. PM me if you need clarification or if you need a sample. Good luck!
