sa mga software engineers dito, ano ung usual na nasa JD nyo? sa anzsco kasi same na same ang tasks ng software engineer at ng software tester. mas pabor sana if software engineer ang ma-assess sa akin since d na kelangan ng state nomination.
My experience btw is in software testing, 6 years. majority nun is manual at nakapag lead na rin ako ng isang malaking team. sana may makapag advise.
Thanks!

ANZSCO 261314: SOFTWARE TESTER
Major Group: 2 - Professionals | Sub-Major Group: 26 - ICT Professionals | Minor Group: 261 - Business and Systems Analysts, and Programmers | Unit Group: 2613 - Software and Applications Programmers
Description: Specifies, develops and writes test plans and test scripts, produces test cases, carries out regression testing, and uses automated test software applications to test the behaviour, functionality and integrity of computer software, and documents the results of tests in defect reports and related documentation.
For me and my partner's case, as provided ng company ang content/job description ng mga COE, kung wala sila, sinabi nalang namin na kahit ung pang job openings post nila sa jobstreet for someone of the same position, pumayag naman. For Software Engg, usually dev work description then may kasamang unit/performance/security testing. For more of manual testing baka mas fit sir sa Software Tester.

My father owned a small construction business. So after graduation, nagtrabaho ako sa kanya ng 1 year and 6 months. Bali yung work ko sa kanya falls under junior electrical assistant, taga assist lang ako ng kahit anong electrical work. Bali first job yung tingin ko sa kanya kasi may mga project kami outside the city, mining and commercial buildings. Ang problema dun, since sa tatay ko naman yun, hindi ako kinunan ng SSS, Philhealth, Pag-Ibig and TIN number. Ma e include ko kaya yan sa work experience ko sa skilled worker visa? Nagdadalawang isip kasi ako baka hanapan ako ng SSS, Philhealth, Pag-Ibig and ITR sa time frame na yan. Baka yan kasi ang reason na ma deny ako ng visa. Sayang naman ang inipon kong pera
Right now, Im currently working as a Junior Electrical Designer. I hope someone can answer my query. Thank you.
