I have been working for 9 years now including my 2 years experience prior to board exam. reading at the responses, I guess I have a better chance at Architectural draftperson or even Program/Project Management. Are there requirements specifically for Architectural draftperson that they are requiring? it was indicated naman sa aking contract that I do prepare designs and other technical documents. Thank you.
How many years yung experience mo as designer (post-board)? How about for project management? From what I've heard, if magpapa-assess with VETASSESS, they would deduct more years of experience if your degree is not directly related to the occupation you are nominating.
For example, if your designer work experience is 5 years, then VETASSESS deducts 2 years post-graduation, you can potentially claim 3 years of overseas work exp for migration purposes since directly related yung archi degree sa archi draftsperson. If your PM work exp is only 4 years, and VETASSESS deducts 2-3 years off your experience (because the archi degree is quite different from construction project management), you'll be left with 1-2 years exp only, and you can't claim points for your overseas experience. As per VETASSESS website and info sheet for construction project manager, the archi degree can be considered on a case-to-case basis, depending on the context of your work.
So I guess think about the work you've done so far, if you can potentially claim more points if nominating draftsperson vs construction project manager.
