Hello All.
I have open work visa in New zealand by partnership. my wife is a resident here.
I applied in Perth OZ and they called me yesterday that they will hire me (after 2 phone interviews). They told me they will call me back to instruct me regarding the visa application.
they told me that they want me to work as soon as possible and will possibly use the subclass 417 holiday working visa then after 3 months we will use the subclass 457.
But when i looked at the subclass 417 philippine passport holders are not eligible to use it.
So the best way is to use 457 subclass. I will tell that when they call me possibly tomorrow.
one requirement is IELTS or having studied for 5 consecutive years in a school where english is used as official language for instruction and examination. so in my case I have certificate from my university in MSU-IIT for english medium of instruction. so i dont need ielts anymore.
Then one concern is I am a BS-physics grad but i have 8 years experience as computer aided engineering. I was FEA engineer in cebu for 8 years. so will i be able to get a pass in assessment from EA as mechanical engineer? thank you very much.
the company still havent discussed with me regarding the compensation package. they will probably in the next call coz i emailed them to inform me about the compensation.
