have a look at the tasks ng systems analyst. my sister managed to successfully apply, same as you, software tester din sia. just select tasks under systems analyst na ginagaw mo din sa work mo then focus on those tasks and dont mention anything about your software tester tasks.
thanks for your helpful advice @Xiaomau82! really appreciate it. as of now i'm starting to gather all necessary documents and will certainly try your advice when everything is sorted out.

First time ko po mag post.
I need help lang po about something.
Please share your inputs.
My wife is currently studying BS Management. She's got about 1 year more to finish.
Gusto po niya makapag work sa Australia.
Bale po malapit na siya mag OJT, and eventually mag work.
Tumingin po kami sa Skilled Occupations List (SOL) at di po namin malaman kung alin po ang pupwede yung kurso niya.
Meaning po, pag naka-graduate na siya, kung ano pong position ang dapat niyang applyan dito sa Pinas para makakuha ng 3 year experience, na may kinalaman sa Occupation na a-applyan niya sa Australia.
Pasensya na po kung masyadong newbie ang tanong ko.
Every input will be highly appreciated po!
Thanks ni Advance
Fernan

Pero posible kaya na ma-approve ang Visa niya in case after niya grumaduate, magkaroon siya ng 3 year experience. Pero anong job po kaya dapat niyang kunin dito sa Pinas?

The important thing right now is for your wife to graduate... And plan from thereon; don't put all your eggs in one basket whereby you have this mindset na everything is defined (as far as both of you are concerned) na pupunta ka sa Australia after x number of years para di ka ma disappoint.

Have any of the applicants lived in a country other than the primary applicant's usual country of residence? = No
Pero nagfill-up kasi ako ng form 80 tapos meron dun overseas travels. Meron kasi akong 5 entries na dineclare as work, pero ang pinakamatagal namang stay is wala pang 3 months.
1. Dapat ba dineclare ko itong YES? Ang reason for travel is business trip. Nalagay kong work sa form 80.
2. Pwede ba irevise ang form 80 once uploaded na?
Thanks

I had my skills assessed more than 2 years ago but was not on the list. So I waited about 2 years. When I saw that my skill was open last year, because I already had that document, I was able to file for state sponsorship with ACT within a month.
While waiting for sponsorship, they closed and removed my skill.
If I had had to wait start my skill assessment done, I would not have been able to file, nor would I have my visa now

Yes, there might be a chance that it might change, or there might be a state that will sponsor your skill. In my case, I almost ignored ACT. I wish I had seen ANZSCOsearch earlier. Sobrang helpful nung site na yun
And not necessarily asa CSOL, magkaka state na mag sponsor. Technical writer ako and that skill has been in that list forever! hehe.
Ikaw ba, ano?

Tapos dun sa "Qualifications" part, may kailangan ba na documents para mag claim ng points aside from transcript? Do they recognise certain colleges in the Phils lang?
Thanks so much!
