@patotoy I totally agree. The thing is, one thing to consider is that each case is very individual since everyone has their own and unique circumstance. Not because it worked for someone doesn’t mean it will work for all. We’ve handled so much cases and each of them are different from the other. Biggest mistake is to assume that same thing will apply. There are a lot of things to consider even before providing any advice. Especially for a qualified migration agent, it’s part of ethical practice to know first the circumstance of an individual before an advice is given.
If someone is doing a DIY application, best to follow the assessment results when claiming points. Should one wishes to add further experience to be able to claim more points, at your own risk. I would strongly advise that the safest way is just to apply for re-assessment. That way, one has a written formal evidence to back up one’s claim in case the case officer would not recognise the further employment. It actually strengthens one’s claim more than anything else. Thus, giving the applicant the peace of mind. One important thing to take note in this whole process is to never assume. Best to always back things up with evidences
