Hindi po sana ako ng advise. We are in the midst of completing the requirements and medyo confused dito (reference is MSA Booklet) regarding REFERENCE LETTER ON OFFICIAL COMPANY LETTERHEAD. Same lang po ba ito sa COE? Or ito yun need na may indicated JD? Looking at section 4.1 - hindi naman specified na need with JD. Pls help po. Thank you.
"Applicants who have claimed engineering employment
for more than 12 months or have based their career
episode upon professional experience must provide a
reference letter from the employer (reference letter on
official company letterhead, stating your title/position,
commencement and termination dates of employment,
signed and dated by the author)."

Magkaiba ang Certificate of Employment (CoE) sa reference letter. You can consider yung reference letter as you JD.
You should have the ff details:
- Employee name
- Passport no/ ID
- Title/position
- employment date
- no of hours working
- address or if you are deployed oveseas
This should be printed with the company logo, address saka signed ng key personnel like HR, immediate supervisor/manager or anyone above you na makakapagpatotoo ng claims mo sa employment. yung iba may seal or stamp din na kasama.
Ito yung sample ko.
Date: 26th July 2017
Dear Sir /Madam,
This is to certify that [NAME] with [Passport/FIN/ID] was a full-time employee of [Name of company] as [Title/position] from [Employment date] working 40 hours per week.

Another question po. About IELTs - for assessment, the higher the score, the higher the points given ba? or as long as pasado at ma-meet yun minimum band score for each na 6? what would you suggest?

Pwede naman wala yung seal/stamped. Yung mga companies ko lang dito sa Singapore nilagyan nila ng stamp which is common. Sa pinas wala, pirma lang.
Hindi din nakabased sa IELTS. Requirement ang english sa assessment pero you will be assess based sa documents at job description na ipapadala mo sa kanila.
Last time lahat halos pinadala ko para walang question.
So halimbawa sa Smart PH ko na work, I submitted JD, CoE, payslips, BIR, SSS, ID at business card.
Sa SG job ko naman, I submitted yung JD, CoE, payslips, IRAS, EP copy, renewal copy, business card, ID. This is my way to make sure na clear sa assessor yung trabaho ko.
Align mo mabuti sa ANZSCO code mo yung JD mo saka CDR mo. Kung paano mo gagawin ang story mo dun magbabased yung assessor.
Sa CDR 1 ko as Jr Engineer, CDR2, Sr Integration Engineer then sa CD3 ko as a Solution Architect so napatunayan ko sa kanila yung career growth ko. Walang naibawas sa akin total 12 years experience so confident ako sa claim ko na 15pts.

I would like to seek for an advice. I asked for a bank certificate for an additional supporting document for my Company 1. It was addressed to Engineers Australia. However, late ko Lang napansin sa bank certificate na mayroong konting typo error sa address Ng EA.
correct address : Engineering House, 11 national circuit, Barton, ACT, 2600
Bank certificate: Engineering House II, National Circuit, Barton, ACT 2600
Bale ung number “11” naging two capital I “II”. Plus the comma shall be after the word House. Strict po kaya Ang EA about this. Shall I request for a revised bank certificate?
Please advise.
Thank you so much po in advance.

PTE Writing Tips
For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.
Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.
Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.
4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.
If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.
If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.
Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.
For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence
Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

The fact that it is on the occupation list goes to show there is a need for your occupation in Australia. I usually tell my clients to do a job search online to have a feel of the job market. That's the best indication for you at this stage. Good luck.

By the way, kelangan pa po ba ang Philhealth contribution/ceritificate as additional employment evidence? Below docs are what I have only from my previous company. Kumuha din kasi ako kaso wala record sa Philhealth ung buong 2008, sabi ni Philhealth, baka daw hindi hinulugan ni Company ung year na un pero the rest of the month/year from Mar 2005 to January 2011 ok nmn lahat. I was aiming to get a direct grant sana, baka kasi hindi enough ung mga proof na meron ako.
Employment Evidence for Comp A: (Ceased operation - Closed since 2016 ata)
- SSS contribution/employment history 2005 to 2011
- ITR 2009-2011 (they can only retrieve these years when I requested prior shutdown nung company)
- COE (general from HR)
- Reference Letter (detailed signed by Manager with company letterhead)
- Pay Slips (June 2010 to Jan 2011 lang ang meron ako)
