Helo questions po, Im preparing for the ctc na kasi.

1. Okay lang ba if passport lang yung e-upload ko for identity part?
Or kailangan isali na rin ang NSO na birth certificate?
D kasi masyado legible yung handwriting nung nasa NSO baka mag ka issue pa.
Kung pwede passport bio page nalang sana.

2. Yung copy po ng documents, kailangan po ba colored copy? Or okay lang B/W?

Thank you.

@alexamae : here are my answers:

1) ano na po ba nakalagay ngayon sa document checklist? dati kasi ang nakalagay for proof of identity ay "passport details OR birth certificate". so dati, kahit isa lang sa kanila. kung hindi naman nagbago...i guess ganun pa din.

2) ok lang na b/w....ganun kasi sa akin dati and wala naman po naging problem.

I'm working in a call center as IT Helpdesk, I support both remote (US & Canada) & local office (Philippine office). I'm looking at Network Administrator as the skill to nominate, will I pass in ACS considering I work in a call center environment? Based on the skill description, covered ko naman yng job description ng network Admin. I'm just worried dahil nga nagtratrabaho ako sa call center. Btw, I'm an ECE graduate from Mapua. Thanks!

Advise lang po, i- tailor made yung COE para makita ng ACS na yung scope ng work mo ay pang network administrator. You can add a reference letter from your manager in case di maglagay ang HR sa COE mo.

issa · November 2012

@ausie_goal , i suggest isama mo yung mga certifications mo. For COE, nakalagay dapat yung jobs description, salary, temp or regular employee...in case standard ang nabigay sayo, request a reference letter from your supervisor or manager...

alexamae · November 2012

@stolich18 wow ang bilis! Ako nga excited, oras oras ng checheck ng status hahaha

sherneb · November 2012

@Issa - we don't really handle servers, pero as Helpdesk may access kame to manage yng passwords, and then the rest ng job description mentioned as Network Administrator covered ko na. Parang more of a Network Support/specialist ang cover ng work experience ko. Di ba kelangan lang talgang i-match dun sa binigay nilang job description?

sherneb · November 2012

Btw, pwede ko b isama yng previous work ko as tech support, kse ang sinusupport ko mga networking devices like routers, network storage, manageable switches, etc (SOHO / SMB). Though 3 yrs naman na yng work experience ko as Helpdesk.

amcasperforu · November 2012

@sherneb, mas maganda kung maisasama mo, mas ok ung sobra kaysa sakto at kulang, in my own opinion

sherneb · November 2012

pero ang iniisip ko lang kse, prang hindi naman sya match sya job description ng network admin according dun sa immi site.

aprilcruise · November 2012

Praise God! My husband just got a positive assessment result.
This morning at 5:30am, he checked the status online and it is already "in progress". We woke up early because we have an ielts speaking exam today. At 11:30am he got the email from ACS. Thank God it is a positive result. Suitable for migration, AQF Bachelor Degree and credited all his 5yrs and 4mos working experience. Also, thank you guys for all the information you shared that helped us a lot.

dreambig · November 2012

@aprilcruise Congratulations! I know the feeling! Its blissful!

tailor made na COE or yung tipong naka align yung work experience mo dun sa skill na pinapa assess mo. Di naman binabase ng ACS sa job title pero dun sa job description mo at kung ano yung ginagawa mo sa work mo yun ang mahalaga.

stolich18 · November 2012

Congrats @aprilcruise!

amcasperforu · November 2012

meron na bang nakapag ACS na then pwede bang in the middle papa change ung nominated skill na pinapa-assess?

hotshot · November 2012

@aprilcruise : congrats po!

nylram_1981 · November 2012

@oz_dreamer and @eischied_21 : Regarding job title. Ganyan din ang case ko. I work kasi in a bank. Ang job title dito samin for the IT dept ay pare-pareho para sa lahat mapa-programmer ka, analyst, sysad, helpdesk, networks pero ung function nyo iba-iba. Bale ang sinubmit ko 2 docs - galing HR containing ung generic title, annual gross income & benefits tsaka ung galing mismo sa dept namin, eto na ung may actual duties and resp ko. Ang lumabas sa ACS is ung actual job title ko.

So far no problem naman, visa grant na ko. But i think it ring the bell sa DIAC kaya nag-verify sila dito sa HR namin.
