Yung company 1 ko kse wala na daw ako payslips na record bec more than 5 years na. So I searched for my SSS contributions online.
Sa SSS records na nakuha ko online, may contribution records ako sa company 1, pero wala pala akong contribution from company 2 sa years 2001, 2002, 2003.
Kasama ung employment years na un (2001 to 2003) sa pina-assess ko sa Vetassess. Magkaka conflict kya yun, baka isipin nila bakit wala ako contribution sa years na yun kahit employed ako.
Though sa years na wala akong SSS contribution pwede ako ask ng payslip from company 2, kya lang iniisip ko baka magka conflict nga sa assessment nila.
Meanwhile inaasikaso ko ung pagkuha ng ITR ko, pero medyo matagal.
Issue ba yun or not? Ano sa tingin nyo ang best na gawin ko, ITR na lang?
Thanks in advance.

Madali na lang po yan sa nyo, for sure makakahanap kayo ng paraan.
Ielts po ang pandagdag ko to get 60-65 points so kelangan ko po talaga ng 7 or more in all parts. I have no choice but to retake the test, unfortunately i couldn't make it this month (which was my plan) cos i'm going to join another company na naman starting June 17, so di kakayanin sa June 22. Now i'm starting to doubt if this is really for me or baka di pa right time. hehe
Magagawan naman ng paraan kung gugustuhin. What i can do right now is to wait for the assessment result and then take another step afterwards. I'm still hopeful.

if you can give us your anzsco code, we can atleast give our opinion whether your degree is related or not to your skills/occupation.
my initial opinion is, it might be related, you used your biology degree for your technical knowledge in selling pharma products..

Ano po kayang maganda, sabihin ko nlang sa kanila ang totoong original positions ko tutal qualified naman po ako OR mag stick nlang as per agent's advice sa Architectural Draftsperson position, kaso iba naman ung position na nakalagay sa payslips.

Nagbbackground check po ba si vet at the assessment stage pa lang? Like for example di nya magets kng ano ung position mo. Has anyone here in pinoyau na naka experience ng ganyan? The asssessment is prolonging my agony. It has been 12 weeks since they received my documents for skills assessment plus PTA. (sigh)
Thanks.
