Hello,
1. Tanong ko lang po, pano po yung sa Duties and Responsibilities na ilalagay sa Employment Reference? Yung Company ba maglalagay nun or pwede mo lagyan tapo i-present mo na lang sa kanila? Paano po ba diskarte dito? Pwede din kasing hindi nila mailagay lahat yung duties mo. Mas OK ba na gumawa ka na ng sayo tapos i-pacheck mo sa kanila?
2. Yung mga duties na nasa ANZSCO-Descriptions-2015.pdf na provided ng ACS, mas ok ba na yun mismo ang nakalagay sa Duties mo sa Employment reference?
Thanks and Cheers

1. may mga employer na sila na mismo naglalagay ng Duties and Responsibilities. In my case sa akin nanggaling yun then nung request ako sa HR naka-include na yung duties and responsibilities na ilalagay nila sa COE ko.
2. I suggest na gamitin mo lang yun as pattern, medyo mahigpit rin kasi sila plagiarism.

Sa case ni hubby:
1. Yung detailed duties and responsibilities nya galing sa Manager nya.nagrequest sya sa HR na incorporate ung detailed JD na galing sa manager. Nagpa-approved sya sa manager nya, once approved sinama na ng HR sa generic COE ung complete JD
2. Dont copy po kng d nmn tlga yan ang JD mo. Try to ask your manager or immediate supervisor regarding sa jd mo. Most likely meron cla nun

May tropa kasi ako na na-reject yung application nya dahil hindi raw suitable. Ang sabi ng ACS, suitable raw ang ICT Support Engineer so ayun binigay sa kanya instead. Kaso, wala sa SOL itong occupation nya sa hindi rin siya maka-apply ng Visa 189.
So ginawa nya, nag-pa reconsider siya for Analyst Programmer, kaso, rejected siya. So iniisip nya na mag submit ulit sa ACS na may panibagong set of Employment Reference, na match sa ANZSCO description.
Ask ko lang kung meron na rito na nag-apply ulit for other occupation sa ACS. Iba-block ba nila application mo knowing na may previous ka nang application dati?
Thanks sa info nyo.

sabihin mo sa friend mo he can lodge another ACS skills assessment with different nominated occupation. May kilala ako naka-3. Nung panahon ko naka-2 assessments ako dahli pabago bago policy then naabutan ko ang transition ng ASCO to ANZCO.
Any ICT job at "professional level" is considered a closely related occupation. Reason: ICT occupations are interconnected with each other. Network engineers do scripting and administers databases. And database developer adapts network topology requirements.
Note: DIBP & ACS are not concerned about the job title: They will go through the specified job duties outlined on the Reference Letter.
Reason kung bat nareject ang friend mo: Yung job descriptions nya baka malayo sa nominated occupation. It should be at least 50%. Make sure na i-tailor nya ang job description. Yung iba kasi nilalagay ang job duties ng desktop support, tech support, IT support which irrelevant to "ACS professional level". Yung iba pati pagtroubleshoot ng CPU nilalagay, irrelevant yun kasi trabaho yun ng PC technician which is VETASSES ang assessing body.

bali ang tanong ko is kung isasama ko pa ba un? kung oo, ano pede kong gawin kasi walang mag papa statutory sakin saka payslip ko wala na indi ko na makita that time kasi indi ko tinatago payslip kasi mas imporatante ung pera
ang worry ko pa is 3 years na wala akong work na mapapasa from graduation or ok lang ba yun? saka computer network and system engineer ang papa assess ko na sana baka maka add ung months points hehe. though after 3 years, meron ako na 8 years na work experience kaso indi ko alam kung ilang years ang aalisin sakin. sensya na kung magulo kwento ko. hehe
kayo guys ano ma-susugest nyo?
