So sa 75 points, wala pang na-consider na points dun from work experience???

Same tayo, ME ako na may experience sa Power Plant industry. Nominated occupation ko eh ME pero dahil di nila na-feel na akma sa ME 'yung experience ko (which is weird), pinapili ako between Engineering Technologist or Production/Plant Engineer.

Anyway, all the best! Good luck!

Nice bro small world. Kung ganon, anong pinili mo? Kung engineering technologist ba eh macoconsider pa din education natin which is bachelor degree? Tapos kung Production/Plant Engineer naman, macoconsider na ba ang work experience natin? Kahit saan na ako bro basta makakataas ng point hehe although sobra weird satin as ME na di marecognize ang power plant exp.😅

Just refer to my responses in the message box. Production or Plant Engineer ang pinili ko and na-credit naman ang work experience ko. Good luck sayo!

Maraming salamat mga sir sa replies. Ayun bale 75 max na po yun superior na ang english. hehe. Medyo nakakalungkot lang po kasi medyo bias ang definition ng Mechanical Engineer sa Australia kasi more on HVAC, building and design lang yung match. Pano naman yung power plant operator exp katulad ko.😅 One of the major subject pa naman ang power plant sa ME. Sabi po kasi ng agent ko consider ko na lang daw na 0 yung sa exp for now. So ayun, ipursue ko nalang po yung NAATI exam pagdating ko ng sydney. Di rin kasi ako makakakuha ng points from fam kasi di naman pede magsponsor pag Sydney naka-base.😅

hi @katzou99 Na-try mo na ba iexplore yung details ng production or plant engineer? baka kasi mas akma sayo yung description nun. share ko lang yung experience ko, ECE ako pero working in an oil refinery. Based sa skillcode ng Electronics Engineer, hindi ako makakalusot sa requirement nila dahil ang background ko ay Instrumentation and Control (maintenance and engineering). Pero under production/plant engineer, mas madali ko maipapaliwanag yung mga projects at accomplishments ko sa CDR under this skillcode. Check mo maigi yung details ng bawat skillcode na sa tingin mo ay pwede sayo then evaluate mo yung projects mo before kung pasok sa criteria nila. During the assessment, malaking factor ang CDR para makita ni assessor yung competency mo under your chosen skill kaya doon mo kailangan maipakita sa kanila na yung skill na napili mo ay nararapat based on their criteria. Good luck!

I don’t see why your bachelor degree will not be considered for engineering technologist 🤔

katzou99

@donyx Nice sir hehe nag-agent po ba kayo? Edi sabihin ko nalang po sa agent ko ay as Production or Plant engineer nalang po? Wala naman pong kaso sakin yun as long as may maccredit na work experience. Makakatulong pa para makataas ng points hehe.

katzou99

@RheaMARN1171933 Noted po mam. As of now katatapos ko lang po tapusin requirement nung agent ko dito sa Dubai. Isubmit ko na lang po para makapagset ulit ng bagong appointment. Actually tatlo po kasi kaming magaapply with the same exp.

mas piliin nyo na production/ plant engineer, non quota occupation, ME at engineering technologits falls on quota occupation ibig sabihin mataas ang points kailangan at pahirapan ma invite pag non quota occupation mas malki chance nyo ma invite.....

Your employment status isn’t an issue as long as you’re claiming the accurate points

My advice to you is to seek for the occupation that you can easily justify for assessment.

That’s correct. Always stick with facts, meaning base everything on the evidences that you can provide rather the ideal outcome you would hope for. You might find that application for facilities manager is less competitive than mechanical engineer which would be to your advantage.

Thanks for the replies! Is it because ME has an occupation ceiling that FM is deemed less competitive?

All occupations are subject to ceilings. One thing to note, FM won’t be eligible fir 189.

Hi po! I graduated as Electronics Engineer po. Worked in the Philippines as Design Engineer on HVAC (mostly related sa Mechanical Engineering). Then I worked abroad as Design Engineer pa din (Fire & Gas Systems. Then I got my current job - Electromechanical Technician in oil and gas.

Paano ko po kaya maipa assess ung experience ko sa EA? Anu po ANZSCO Code ang applicable?

Please help po.. Thank you po..

Pinoy2028

Good day po, ask ko lang po kung yung ipprovide lang na primary and secondary documents(COE/BIR) ay yung experience or company na included sa career episode?.. magkaiba po ksi yung field ko at yung latest lang yung ipapaassess ko, kso di ko sure kung kylangan ko pa balikan ung mga dating company pra dun sa documents.

Hello, basta po lahat ng employment na gusto nyong I-claim Ang yrs of experience included man or not in the career episodes, dapat po ay magprovide Ng employment evidences as detailed in MSA. And then for employment na hindi kayo magclaim Ng yrs of experience, then it’s ok to just include it in your CV but no need to provide employment evidences. Once magsusubmit na kayo Sa EA website meron dun under employment history ung box to tick if will claim points or will not claim points. Hope this helps. All the best!

sa panahon po ngayon pataasan po ng points para makakuha ng invite. kung sa palagay nyo po ay it wont add to your points even if you include your past employment, then its ok na wag na habulin. pero kung makakatulong ung past employment to increase your total points, then try to ask them. sayang din kasi ung points. you decide nalang po. all the best!

Hello po,

Ask ko lang po kung pwede po ba magpa-share ng sample CDR for reference, para ma-assess po sa EA.
ECE graduate po ako and nasa Electronics Industry nagtatrabaho.

Kung sino po magshare, pakisend nalang po sa email ko, [email protected]

Thank you and more power po!

Based upon what you've described you wouldn't get a positive result from Vetassess as a Facilities Manager. This is assuming you're doing the maintenance work. A facilities manager must manage these services, not perform the services. You would need to show that you're NOT reporting to someone who is actually a facilities manager as well (since you're meant to be in that role).

For an engineering outcome the scope would fit Mechanical Engineer provided you're actually doing engineering work - complex problem solving, planning etc. In this particular role I would also expect you to be managing technicians doing the work. If you're doing the hands on work yourself you will face issues with the EA assessment. If you can't show sufficiently complex responsibilities you may end up with an Engineering Technologist outcome instead. Do look into everything carefully.

No, in fact you don't need to get work experience assessed by any skill assessing authority (for visa purposes).

The employment points claims are not determined by the assessing authority, even though it may look that way by the results the authorities issue.

This has been re-enforced by a policy change in 2019 that says you can count work experience based upon the ANZSCO skill level requirements if its more favourable than what the authorities say.

Short summary, you can claim relevant skilled work experience after your relevant degree whether it's on the assessment outcome or not.

There is one exception. Some states/territories want to see the experience on the skill assessment. This is mainly for ACS and mainly NSW and Qld. So just be aware of what the state/territory expects!
