UP Diliman. @2.5 years exp sa Pinas, 1 year exp inside Au (EA rejected-due to salary).
Currently I am back to 55 points without the EA assessment. Marami ka bang alam na cases na pumasa sa CO kahit walang assessment ng EA? Thanks.

medyo challenging ang case mo hndi ko masabi anong pinaka tamang gawin.. isang option is baka pwede taasan ang PTE-A score mo, or state sponsorship or ilaban mo sa DIBP yang 1 yr exp mo sa OZ..
my opinion is the latter.. only my opinion.. unless willing kang magsimula uli..

once lodged, tsaka mo pa lang submit at your proofs sa declare mo sa EOI.. so dapat sa EOI pa lang dapat 100% ka na tama at kaya mong patunayan ang mga declare mo para smooth processing..

Exactly, mahirap tanggapin. Like kami na around 2yrs work exp at lilipad papunta dito, tatanggapin namin entry level ng position namin as long as pasok sa field na napag-aralan o natapos. Ang naging set back ko is dahil casual employee ako, walang leave, no work no pay, mas mataas ang hourly rate ko kaysa full time employees, pero hindi ko daw na meet ung standards na iyon. Masaklap!

@Captain_A and all the others,
Kung target ko ma-meet ung 3 years work experience outside Au, at meron akong 2 years 5 months initially after graduation, so it means I need 7 months work exp outside Au pa din to make it three years right? Ika-count ba ni EA ung 7 months lang o dapat mag 1 year din? Salamat.
