I am look forward to work in au, but I guess my work experience does not fit in sa mga list of jobs, I am a technical support engineer ng emerson, more on refrigeration and hvac controllers ang support namin.
Tanong ko lang, dapat ba sakto lahat sa qualification base on job description na makikita sa ANZSCO. Wala kasi akong makitang application engr. O kaya tec support sa listahan.
Salamat and god bless

age - 30pts
skill - 15pts
english - havent taken yet
based on this, im still 15 points short. so dapat superior makuha ko sa english (20 pts). are there any other categories for points? or yan lang usually nagaapply sa atin? i was wondering kasi parang lahat dapat max points ka on those 3 criterias para mameet yun point requirement.
also, what if i have a sibling who's in australia already? may points ba na maaccount for that?
thanks much sa makakatulong!
