hey guys, I just want to share my journey to help a bit to anyone.
First of all, I was very anxious of my work experience I'd thought I will not pass sa skills assessment. Although I'm a CPA, but I'm not from any top university in the Philippines. My syllabus was a DIY. My university is not reliable to this kind of request, I googled (and I think I found one from UST) and searched for a sample course description of each subject na related to business and accounting from my TOR. I requested and personally sent a message to our dean to stamp and sign the syllabus and I said it was very urgent. Thankfully, they helped me even the Uni admin, they printed it from the University letterhead, sealed and signed.
Then, sa work experience, I had a few years job as an inventory analyst in a BPO. Yung JD (and my actual job) seems very far from the work of an Accountant. Dito talaga ko nagworry. I did my best to write it as close as the job of an accountant. Btw, also all my JD were also DIY. If I let the previous HR or manager do it for me, it will take me forever. I have to message all my previous colleague/manager to help me with this. I just asked them to sign and stamp this for me. I figured it is much easier job for them to just sign it as long as it reflects my actual job description.
PTE took me 3 takes to get superior. NAATI is also not that as easy as I expect. So now I'm patiently waiting for an invite as an offshore with 95 points. Ayun lang, please pray for me guys and wish me luck.. ;D I hope this helps.
goodluck. though ang open pa lang for offshore application for accountants is NT because other states are really keen on sending out invites to onshore applicants only as of the moment. let's see what will be the development in terms of border opening in the next month. hopefully, the process will be back to the pre-pandemic situation the soonest.
