Back read muna ako from page 6 where I left..got lots of reading to do hehe!
Btw, as of to date, finally nakapagsubmit na po ako ng full skill assessment (vetassess)...after a long time of weighing which nominated occupation ang ipapaassess ko...I've decided na its the anzco 312113 building inspector ang closest occupation with regards to task & role description neto ang nagmamatch with my past work experience. I only submitted 4 employment (abroad experience only with all the uploaded employment contracts, payment evidences averaging $8100 usd a month) totaling around 7yrs+.
Hoping to get a positive outcome. Cheers!
