I think pag company letterhead, they expect that this was created by your HR which in this case, it was not. Baka magkaproblema ka pa.

we have received the result of our acs assessment and thank God, 4 yrs lng ang deduction sa work experience ni hubby and his education has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing.
ang tanong po namin is, his employment that is considered and suitable for his nominated skill is after April 2012 and his EOI has been submitted today by our agent. so by May 2017, madadagdagan bah kami ng 5 points? kasi by then magiging 5 years na work experience nya. tama po bah?
and what if po by June 2017, he will be promoted but still under the same company, need po bah kaming magpa assess ulit sa acs? and by that another bayad na naman?
salamat po sa sasagot.

Ako gumawa ng job description, then pinaka-check ko siya sa manager. When i requested COE sa HR, inattach ko siya, then yun ang nilagay nila sa COE. Si HR pa rin ang nagprint and nagsign. Hope it helps.
