There is a push to include it. Nothing official as yet...and yes! Offshore applicants can be prioritised as long as it’s on the PMSOL. Hence, all the more reason to get things moving, be document ready, exhaust all possible ways to increase points and get on the EOI ASAP!

Oh I see. Anyway, I am just speaking based on my experience since they did not require payment evidences from me. I just submitted my labor contract and work permit visa.

I would assume that the labour contract would state the salary. Hence it would fall under payment evidence. In order to assess the skilled employment experience, the actual work should be paid otherwise the assessing authority will not consider the experience. Immigration will only also consider paid work experience as skilled work experience. Hence the need for payment evidence.

Hi, everyone. I would just like to ask if there would be any problems if I get assessed by EA for skilled employment. I am an engineering graduate but my 5 years experience is in operations related to my field but as supervisor/manager, not as engineer. Is EA the right assessing authority or Vetassess? Here is my background:
Degree: Agricultural Engineering
Experience:
2 years - Production Supervisor (Poultry Processing Plant - Philippines)
2 years - Production Manager (Poultry Processing Plant - Philippines)
1 year - Processing Supervisor (Poultry Processing Plant - Overseas)
Thank you.

Hi guys. Need your experience with Australian immigration. My GF (25F) and I (25M) come from chemical engineering backgrounds in the Philippines with fairly good academic records. She has only 1yr experience as Production Engineer before being retrenched due to the covid-19 lockdown while I have 1.7 years work as Materials Engineer. I am currently unemployed for further studies. Our points is 75 for visa subclass 189. Do you think we have a chance to be invited by the Australian Immigration (once borders open) because I heard you need 90 points for an invitation and since we only have 1 year experience as engineers?
We have not yet been assessed by EA. Since we cannot get +5 points for the 3 years experience offshore, we don’t need to get the RSEA option for EA assessment?

189> Ipon ipon muna a\ng points. dahil sa covid 19, marami na po nakapila..Unless, medical laboratory scientist, some medical allied fields, nurses. Pwede na yan points na yan
(Pili kayo ng job na closely related sa ANZSCO code niyo) pero mahirap dahil sa rate ng unemployment ngayon, 8 years to max out points
Fairly good academic - 20 points siguro yan sa PTE....
So wag muna magPTE and Naati. Dapat may job na ngayon na kasi mababawasan ang points niyo pag naging 33 years old na po kayo.
All the best.

hello mga kapatid na mechanical engineer. Good day sa inyo. ask ko lang pano if ME ako pero most recent experience ko is Material management ng oil and gas equipment and materials, is this a good narrative for a career episode? medyo malayo i think yung MM sa Mech Engg. Pero I saw sa ANZSCO na may group of IE, Production, ME (shown below) na may Material management. Ano po ibig sabihin nung sub group na yun? is it still acceptable for ME to put Material M as career epiosode?

Hi po. ME din po ako. I think kaya naman po irelate primarily sa ME yung career episodes niyo. Support niyo lang ng ME terminologies, theories and calculations. Basahin niyo po yung elements na hinihingi sa summary para maiplot niyo yung episodes nang maayos. Sa ngayon po kasi nasa PMSOL tayong mga ME. It would be advantageous kung dun ang pathway natin. Opinion ko lang naman po hehe pero kayo pa rin bahala 😁

Agree ako sa sinabi ni @jakibantiles. Kung magagawa mong mairelate sa code description ng ME yun ginagawa mo, much better. List down all your duties and responsibilities, at i-self assess mo kung makukuha mo yun lahat nun elements per MSA manual.
Nga pla, sa Oil & Gas company din ako nagwowork. I presume yun Material Management ay nasa same umbrella ng Supply Chain or Procurement. Usually, sila yun ka-interface namen sa commercial side ng procurement ng equipment. I think mostly din sa kanila ay may mga engineering background, so I assume na required din na may technical knowledge. If tama assumption ko, I think you can relate it to ME kasi nagagamit mo yun background and skills mo as ME. Just think of those instances that would demonstrate that. To be honest, hindi highly technical ang CEs ko. As they always say here, basahin mo yun MSA manual thoroughly and make it as a starting point para madraft mo yun CDR. If in doubt, better consult an agent. Usually, hihingan ka nila ng resume, ieevaluate nila yan at bibigyan ka nila ng recommendation.

@renzkimwell, naconfuse din ako dito dati. Buti pinaalala saken ni @RheaMARN1171933 na work reference letter dapat not Certificate of Employment. That time di ko pa kasi nababasa yun EA MSA manual. Hehe.
Yun employer ko kasi generic COE lang binibigay. So, ginawa kong technique dito, ako mismo nagdraft nun content ng work reference letter. Ginawa ko kinuha ko yun generic COE ng company then dun ako nagdagdag ng information. Nilagyan ko ng key achievements per project na nagwork ako at kinuha ko yun testimonies/statement from previous Performance Assessment (PA) saken ng mga managers ko. Dinagdag ko rin yun Job Description from Global Job Description Manual ng company. Then, saka ko kinausap department manager ko about it then nag-email ako sa HR namen for approval. Awa ng Diyos, inapprove naman. Tingin ko kasi hindi sila makakahindi kasi may basis ako nun mga pinagdadagdag ko sa Work Reference Letter. Hehe.
Share ko lang. Hindi ako nag-avail ng RSEA kasi confident ako na relevant ang skills ko. At kaya ko magprovide ng payslip at ITR kung sakaling hihingin saken. Sa isang company pa lang ako nagwork at almost 10 yrs na ko. Thankfully, ganun din yun recommendation ng agent ko. Again, case-to-case basis, I suggest mas okay pa rin na may agent ka.

Sure. No problem. I can help you. But, I suggest to have an outline first for the content. Writing style should be in active voice. When writing, do not be conscious of your the number of words, grammar, flow, etc. Just let your ideas flow. Once you have the draft, we can use that as a springboard for revision to make it a strong narrative of your career.
Suggestion ko lang yan. Syempre may iba iba tayo ng mga techniques or atake. Share ko lang, yun CE1 ko, umabot ako ng 7 pages. Ang daldal ko kasi. Hahaha. But, I was able to trim it down to 4 pages with 1957 words. Andami kong nilagay na hindi essential so dinelete ko. Yun iba napaikli ko talaga pero na-maintain ko yun same thought nun ginawa ko originally.
