Baka hindi ko pa makuha revised COE ko this week. Medyo pahirapan talaga makakuha COE dito sa company namin. Kinakabahan ako na baka hindi ako maka pasa ng EOI para na makakasama sa june 7 invitation round.
Guys, kung ma settle ko ba un mga hinihigi ng assessor ko this week posible kaya na me hingin pa siya ulit? Meron ba dito na nakailan comment un assessor about different issues? Hindi ko alam kung nabasa na nya un Career episodes ko.

Anyway, ang ginawa ko is instead na maging worker ako, ginawa ko na project owner. Which is true, ako kasi ang engineering/project and implementation lead. So nagfocus ako being the engineering/project lead. Ayun! Mejo kinabahan pero atleast wala sa Flagged.

Although pwede na sakin ung 4yrs experience (5pts which means mag60pts ako sa EOI), nanghihinayang ako na pwede sanang mas mataas pa (65pts for EOI).
Paano kaya makahingi ng clarification from EA regarding this? direct outcome kasi sya, walang additional docs na hiningi. Nagpa-fast track ako.
Thanks in advance!
