Hi Kababayan,
I would like to ask for your help sana sa situation ko. I'm an electrical engineer with 8 years of experience as a building/facilities engineer. Magpapa-assess sana ako sa Engineers Australia as electrical engineer pero based from my experience, mas related ito sa Facilities manager ng VETASSESS. Medyo torn ako on this part. Ano po ba mas OK or mas recommended? Thank you.
BTW, andito na ako sa Victoria with dependent visa. Gusto ko na sana gamitin ang professional background ko to get PR. Ngayon lang din kasi medyo nakakaluwag luwag. Work ko here is not related sa engg with work restriction pa kaya medyo struggle din. Salamat sa tutugon! 🙂
If you want to try EA, study yung MSA booklet and look back sa experience mo kung meron kang mga pwedeng gawing career episodes. In my experience sa pag gawa ng CDR, una kong inaral yung Summary Statement, and for each item nag-isip ako ng mga experiences ko na applicable. Then I wrote my career episodes with those as the building blocks. Look at sample CDRs rin online, na pwedeng maging basis mo (but don't copy). If projects in college lang ang gagamitin, baka hanapan ka pa ng mga actual reports. This is why hassle ang EA if hindi mo maicoconnect yung experiences mo directly sa mga hinahanap nila.
Tingnan mo rin yung anzco code nung 2 options mo if nasa skilled list ba and kung ilang points ba required in the past invitation rounds.
Either way, positive assessment ang goal para sa PR. Hindi naman importante kung saan nagpa-asses kasi pagdating sa paghahanap ng trabaho, experience pa rin ang hahanapin ng employer.
Side note, if nasa Victoria ka na on a valid visa, you can try to look for jobs na related sa past experiences mo, there is a possibility na you can negotiate for a full working visa (na hindi dependent) kung talagang magustuhan ka nila.
