@wanderer Medyo generalized nga ung original list of duties na nilagay ko kaya pinaltan ko sya ng bago list kapareho nun sa orig post ko. Pinapaaprub ko pa sa manager and HR namin.

Pano po un sa online SSS? Snapshot lang ng table?

Kung may access ka online sa SSS contributions mo, press CTRL+P lang then print mo sya sa PDF

Pwede rin snapshot pero ang mangyayari eh low resolution sya kasi pag ganun

Hi,
Baka hindi ko pa makuha revised COE ko this week. Medyo pahirapan talaga makakuha COE dito sa company namin. Kinakabahan ako na baka hindi ako maka pasa ng EOI para na makakasama sa june 7 invitation round.

Guys, kung ma settle ko ba un mga hinihigi ng assessor ko this week posible kaya na me hingin pa siya ulit? Meron ba dito na nakailan comment un assessor about different issues? Hindi ko alam kung nabasa na nya un Career episodes ko.

@glorified4man as many specific duties na kaya mong ilagay. ung mga nandun sa CDR mo na duties, ilagay mo lahat dyan sa COE. pati equipments used ilagay mo na rin. wala naman wrong COE as long as yan talaga ang job mo. With regards sa SSS, puede kang kumuha ng SSS certificate from any SSS branch. Ang iba dito, they just get their SSS contribution from the internet.

Un po bang SSS contribution na sinasabi dito e print lang ng page sa website ng SSS?

@glorified4man nagcomment din ang EA sa akin before nila ini-acknowledge yung Career Episodes ko. I suggest I-kwento mo how you do your job that makes you say na professional engineer ka. Kasi parang generic job description yun nisulat mo. which is I understand na sa point of view natin parang same as one with what they want. So for example you can write " During the execution of this ABC project as the civil engineer incharge, I verified the data from the generated design report and employed cost competitive technique (kwento mo kung anu yun.. blah blah)... I also proposed a solution of doing this blah blah blah that was reviewed and was implemented by the company for its market advantage blah blah.." .
Just make sure di ka nangopya or nagiimbento.. kasi pag totoo naman nisulat mo madali mo maduksungan yan.. yun lang.. Personal opinion ko lang yan.. dahil that is what I did..
good luck :-) :-)

@vencel2017 Sana nga po eh ok na un ipinasa ko episodes. Nakakakaba maghintay.

marie429 · May 2017

Hi, I'm a licensed civil engineer but I've never really worked as a CE since I graduated. I worked as a research associate and now I'm working on sales sa real estate. Do I still have a chance if ever I decide next year to migrate to Australia through EA Skills Assessment kahit with no work experience?

SAMPLE CDR CIVIL ENGINEER

Career Episode -1
Company : XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Task : Civil Engineer
Period : July 2000 – March 2002
XXX is one of the ten largest and most successful architectural and engineering consultants in EGYPT. The head office is in Abu Dhabi, UAE and it has branches in Cairo, Alexandria, Al Ain, Dubai and Berlin. APG, Architectural and Planning Group, with combined offices operating internationally can call upon over 400 ( four hundred ) professional staff to service any project worldwide. Architectural and Planning Group are able to offer the full complement of comprehensive services such as architecture design, engineering design, urban planning design, landscape design, quality management, interior design, on-site inspection, on-site design liaison and maintenance inspections. In this career episode, I am detailing my work with the above company.
1.1 I was a fresh engineering graduate at the time of joining XXX. I had already completed the 4 year full-time course in Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering. The first year of the course includes some papers in Mathematics, and also provides a basic knowledge of physical sciences underpinning Engineering. It also provides an overview of other disciplines of Engineering. The later years concentrate more particularly on the various aspects of Civil Engineering. I joined the above company in 2000. Initially there was a training period of two months . On the completion of my training period, which was my probation period as well, I was given the post of Civil Engineer and joined the company as a permanent employee.

1.2 As trainee engineer (July 2000 to September 2000) I got training as a site engineer. Initially I was responsible for supervising the contractor’s work for a small villa. I was reporting to a project engineer who was providing me with the necessary training and guidance.

1.3 During my tenure with the above organization as a Civil Engineer, I was responsible for planning, organizing and overseeing the construction and maintenance of various structures such as villa complexes, various building projects and renovation of different structures throughout Egypt. I also did the structural design for a group housing project, during my tenure with the above organization.

1.4 My work mainly involved the following:

• The overall supervision and execution of works.
• Review and approval of shop drawings.
• Conceive, transfer and execute variation to designs, scopes and standard work methods.
• Preparing progress spread sheets, and updating MS Project schedules.
• Project progress monitoring and submitting periodic reports to Project Manager on a weekly and
• Implementing and monitoring QA/QC and safety procedures.
1.5 I am detailing below my work involving a villa complex in Alexandria, Egypt, consisting of 24 villas, with a project value of approximately 29 million Egyptian Pounds.

1.6 I had an initial discussion with the client so as to determine project requirements. Then I established and monitored the construction work schedule.

1.7 On the site, I was responsible for supervision of site and maintaining a field diary to make notes of the site activities. I conducted site meetings to discuss important issues to be taken into consideration. I ensured that the quality of work at the site was in compliance with the contract requirements that only approved materials are used in compliance with shop drawings and specifications. I used to liaise with the government authorities regarding the work execution, and follow up on approval.

1.8 I was also responsible of Reviewing the contractor’s transmittals for site activities. After the completion of the structural work, I was responsible for all the finishing work, especially the doors, windows, balcony, aluminum and stainless steel work such as cladding, flashing, soffit, reynobond panels, gutters, etc.

1.9 I always follow the concept of value engineering, which involves providing necessary functions at lowest cost, and the identification and elimination of unnecessary costs.

1.10 I used to submit detailed feasibility report for all projects. All the documentation work used to be prepared in MS-OFFICE, and I achieved an excellent working knowledge in MS-OFFICE.

1.11 As mentioned above, I have also done the structural designing of a group housing project. I had undergone a course in the structural analysis and design package, SAP 2000, earlier in the year and I was able to put it into practice. I developed a framing plan with approximate sizes of beams and columns. After drafting the framing plan, I discussed about the architectural views with the concerned architect. I then started modelling the skeletal structure with the sizes and dimensions as per architectural drawings. For the foundation of the structures, I designed a raft foundation using finite element method of designing. The model was created in space as per the design specifications.

1.12 The loading calculation is also an important part for analysis and design. Every structure is subject to different loading. After completing the modelling part , I started the loading calculations for the structure. Along with dead and live loads, seismic loads also play a significant role. Though those loads depend on geography and location of the structure , design is always done on worst load combination. In some case, earthquake load pre-dominates, and in others, wind load. The project on hand

was in earthquake prone zone and it was a concrete structure, so earthquake loads and their combinations were the critical loads to be considered in the analysis and design.

1.13 After entering the loading data in the computer, the final step is the design criteria. In this step, information regarding design code, type of reinforcement, concrete strength, whether earthquake reinforcement is required or not, have to be entered in the system. Once all the required data is fed, SAP 2000 does the analysis of the structures and the results are given.

1.14 After completion of the programmed run, the beams and columns are checked for safety. If some members do not meet the safety criteria, I have to find out the reasons for this and make amendments accordingly. Then checking of bending moments, shear forces, and deflections for the whole structure and individual members are done.

1.15 After applying all the above mentioned checks, the design results are then transferred to the draftsmen for preparation of detailed drawings. During the whole of the design process, I ensure that proper documentation is done.

1.16 I am very particular that all my work is professional and ethical.

1.17 During my tenure with Architectural and Planning Group (XXX), Cairo, Egypt, I got a lot of practical experience regarding design of structures, site supervision and coordination. I also became familiar with various materials used such as : aluminum extrusions, aluminum alloy sheet , mild steel sections & sheet , stainless steel sheet , waterproofing membrane, various types of sealants, rockwool insulations, etc. Working with this company has taught me the practical aspects of Civil Engineering, and I have been able to successfully apply my theoretical knowledge in the work place.

Puwede ka po siguro gumawa ng similar dito. Ang nakikita ko po dapat kayo magfocus sa episode e un item #1.2 sa PE: Units and elements sa MSA booklet. Wala po ako alam sa real estate work kaya hindi ko po alam kung pano maisisingit mathematics, numerical analysis, etc. na related sa Civil Eng

congratz @glorified4man.. :-)

ajdee · May 2017

@marie429 for EA skills assessment, possible po sya using academic projects lang (did mine, got positive outcome). Important is you demonstrated all of the competency elements sa summary statement.

amoj · May 2017

@kuya.king Nagsend ako ng panibagong CDRs last Tuesday. I got the positive outcome letter today! Yes!

Anyway, ang ginawa ko is instead na maging worker ako, ginawa ko na project owner. Which is true, ako kasi ang engineering/project and implementation lead. So nagfocus ako being the engineering/project lead. Ayun! Mejo kinabahan pero atleast wala sa Flagged.

kuya.king · May 2017

@amoj congrats! Pede ka na mageoi para sure invite pagpasok ng July. :-bd

amoj · May 2017

@kuya.king thanks! oo nga eh. wala na talaga before July, tama?

kuya.king · May 2017

@amoj yup, ceiling narin ang telco occupations eh. Pero submit mo lang, minsan may naiinvite parin eh kht ceiling na. [-O<

zanx · May 2017

@MikeYanbu pwede po makahinigi sample CDR, CPD, SS my email [email protected]

chuckiebhoi · May 2017

Hello! kakareceive ko lang ng outcome letter ko from EA. Out of the 3 employments na sinubmit ko (total of around 7 yrs), 2 lang ang nacredit nila (total of almost 4 yrs lang). Which is medyo di ko ineexpect kasi ung hindi nila nacredit, eh un pa ung pinaka-related as Telco Engineer at pasok na pasok sa ANZSCO descriptions (i was employed in Smart).

Although pwede na sakin ung 4yrs experience (5pts which means mag60pts ako sa EOI), nanghihinayang ako na pwede sanang mas mataas pa (65pts for EOI).

Paano kaya makahingi ng clarification from EA regarding this? direct outcome kasi sya, walang additional docs na hiningi. Nagpa-fast track ako.

Thanks in advance!

nediBells · May 2017

@ajdee Hi Po. Pwede po ba maka hingi nga sample cdr nyo? My husband is also an ECE grad pero ang work nya d related sa course nya (Currently working as an Incident Management Analyst). We've been thinking if mas mabuti mag pa assess sya as Business Analyst sa ACS pero d kami confident baka ma reject lang sayang din ang assessment fee :-). I've been researching kung pwede gamitin ang mga academic projects nya good thing I saw your response na pwede pala nabuhayan kami ng loob. :-)

My email add po is [email protected].

Looking forward to your response po. :-)

ajdee · May 2017

nediBells · June 2017

@ajdee maraming salamat po :-)

cacophony · June 2017

pwede po ba makahingi ng copy ng career episode that focused on his/ her thesis? thanks po!

meanmullet · June 2017

@ajdee pasend din po ng cdr. Thanks! [email protected]

nit@sirk · June 2017

Hingi nman po ako ng advise. Nagpa-relevant skills assessment kasi ako sa EA. Lumabas na yung result, ipinagtataka ko lang di nila kinonsider yung 2012-2016 ko na work which is almost similar naman ang job description nito sa mga previous experience ko. Ano po ba dpat ko gawin? Can I email EA to ask them bakit di nila kinonsider yung period na yun? Actually bago kc lumabas result nito, may hiningi sila other docs like 3rd party documents, di kc nila in-accept yung sa iras (singapore tax) kc di daw naka-indicate dun company name. So next ko pinrovide is Work pass, pero black and white lang.

acbien · June 2017

Hi guys! can anyone send me a copy of their summary statement? thank you! here is my email [email protected]

HeyThereMaddie · June 2017

Hello everyone. Gumawa po kasi ako ng EA account nung April 10, while I continued working on my career episodes in parallel. Lalagpas na ako ng 60 days from account creation at exactly later at 9pm. I haven't tried logging back in, but what should I do po?

Thanks po!

HeyThereMaddie · June 2017

^Btw pahabol lang po. I won't be able to finish by 9pm tonight, so malamang maca-cancel ang application ko. Can I reply ba using the same email address I used in my first try?
