Hello all! I am currently working as a Engineering Manager for 5 years. However,since I want to max out the experience to 8 years, gusto ko sana mainclude yung 3 year experience ko as a chemical engineer. Do I need to apply for two Assessment for each to gain the points for 8 year experience?
Thank you po!

Hello sir/mam. Ask ko lang po if my instance na dito na nareject ang CDR? Plan ko na po kasi magsubmit ng doc sa EA this week, waiting na lang ako ng supporting docs from my previous employer. For sure no plagiarism involved since ako po ang gumawa fully ng CDR ko. May reason pa po kaya si EA para hindi maapprove ang assessment nila sa akin?

If that’s the case ang nakikita ko na possibility is the CDR itself kung nasatisfy ng CE’s un mga competencies na nka-stipulate sa MSA handbook. Goodluck!

Kung nameet naman po lahat ng reqts and nademonstrate nyo lahat ng nirequire as per summary statement with complete supporting docs, should be okay po. If it helps, pwede nyo din po paproof read if mag kakilala kyo na gumawa na before or kahit cno po na pwede magreview.

Parang intindi ko po sa number of years of experience is per nominated occupation. So if un 3 yrs as chemical engr po, un po ung iassess as chemical engr for skills assessment and relevant skilled employment. Ganun din po if yung engineering manager. Pagdating po sa EOI at visa application, isa lang po nominated occupation pwede iapply for skills assessed at relevant skilled employment. Maybe yung iba po makakapag advise on this.

Oo if pwede mo sila icombine and mademonstrate mo na ChE exp sya lahat, push lang. un CDR po titignan for skills assessment, tapos cv and supporting docs po for relevant skilled employment. Pagsubmitted together, magkasama din result sa isang letter. For my case po 2 company un sa experience pero un CDR ko lahat ng project na diniscuss under lang sa latest na company.

Thank you, Ms. @Rizza. May tanong ako doon po sa employer reference letter… Yung COE ko kasi ay typical type lang na meron initial and final date of employment lang and yung job designation and signed by HR Manager. Then as per option 2 sa RSEA requirements ng 2020 MSA booklet need pa daw ng additional letter ng job offer letter with main duties/position descriptions. Now, may question is, ang meron kasi akong document ay separate na job offer letter and job description letter. Both were signed by the management naman po from HR up to Manager level. Ok lang po kaya ito Maam or need ko talaga i-merge yung dalawang document?

Rizza na lang po okay na, ☺️ if complete details un sa job offer, in company letterhead, nakalagay pati un kung fulltime position, hours and roles at responsibilities, pwede na. Meron din ba separate na confirmation letter? Un employment cert usually un end date ng work mo sa knila at last na sahod at employer ref letter, yan un may complete na details signed by someone in management. Sa case ko un past company, hr din un pumirma. Okay naman. Pero if kaya mo kuha ng signed ng boss mas okay. Pwede namn kaw magprepare nun template para complete info tas iprint lang nila sa letterhead then sign.

Hello guys! I just received this initial assessment from an EA agent:
"The primary document you provided, i.e. Job Profile and COE, are not suitable for assessment as the former is not duly signed and does not bear your name while the latter does not meet all the requirements of acceptable primary document hence, please, provide a reference letter on official letterhead, meeting all the requirements specified on page 9 to 10 of prepare-your-migration-skills-assessment-application guide available in Engineers Australia website."
-the documents which I provided are the actual documents given to me by my previous employers. What should I do to comply with EA?
-I have until Jan 13 to provide additional documents. Thanks!

Check if the letter provided by your employers are compliant to EA guidelines. Kung hindi, revise the letter and sundin ang requirements na nakalagay sa EA. In our case, kami na gumawa ng work reference letter naka align sa EA, then saka kami nagpapirma sa HR.

Resigned na ako nung time na nagrequest ako. First, nagbigay sila ng generic na COE. Pinacheck namin sa agent and hindi compliant sa EA guidelines. So nagdraft kami ng work reference letter, ininform ko si HR na irerevise ko ung letter based sa specific task na ginagawa ko sa site which is inalign ko na din sa EA. Ininform namin na for migration purposes, hindi naman masyado nagtanong kasi siguro resigned na ako. Pinirmahan naman agad, mabait ung HR. 😅

Hello po. Ask ko lang po if possible akong maassist ng EA. Graduate po ako ng Mechanical Engineering Technology way back 2008. Then nag work po ako machinist 5 years sa pinas then 8 years sa ibang bansa. Nung 2021 ako po ay nag aral ng ETEEAP BSME at nag graduate ako ng May 2022. Paassist sana ako for professional Engineer sa Australia, possible po kaya ma carry over experience ko.
Thank you po for your answer in advance
