Hello po, ask ko lang if ilang days bago marelease ang outcome ng RSEA? I got positive outcome last Friday morning for my skill assessment, then afternoon nag avail ako ng RSEA assessment.

Hi @JuanaMariana . Congrats! I missed your update regarding the issue on your CDR. How did you convince EA? It would be a good guide for others who would encounter the same. Thanks.

@aicee hi, thank you sa reply. Nasubmit ko na rin SSS ko. Wala lang ako ITR kasi di ko mahanap year 2009 pa tapos wala na rin yung company. Wala din ako copy ng Contract ko. But COE, COE with JD and SSS nasubmit ko na. Di ko alam gagawin, SG pa naman ako ngayon.

You may also submit your PhilHealth contributions accessible online.

For weird reason, EA missed (or did not recognize) the ITRs that I uploaded complete. So I uploaded my SSS contributions in response. I did not submit Philhealth records. Got the positive outcome next working day.

@zirko, i wrote a letter stating that it was never my intention, I revised my CDR (though he did not request to do so) and humbly requested to have it checked again, I told him that if he will refer back to my first submission (cause he told me to rewrite some episodes)there was no sign of plagiarism. Then i got a positive outcome the following day.

Hi guys,
This is my 2nd post (the first is my intro as a newbie last september

).

I got a considerable score in the PTE Exam which I believe is the first major step in this quest and have been working on my other requirements while reviewing. Now I have drafted my Career Episodes based on my 3 work experiences (3 companies) that I had worked on.

Is it ok that I base my CE on my roles and achievements as a Project Engineer to those companies, variety po kasi yung trabaho ko as a Project Engineer like I go on different sites, completing small and major projects?

or

need po sa CE is just a certain project that I had worked on? (which is the one mentioned in the MSA Booklet)?

Btw backreading I saw some members granted a positive outcome from EA, Congrats guys!

TIA for the responses.

@mercurial15 : Base sa MSA booklet, u can do either(CE based on ur routine duties and responsibilities as a Project Engineer OR u will focus on the major projects that you've handled during ur employment). I suggest, u try to check the Competency Units and Elements in the Summary Statement for Professional Engineers if which option ang mas mrami kang ma-address na mga elements.

@lock_code2004 : Sir, eventhough magkaiba ang unit code nila (C.Engr. & C.Drtfsperson), kung mai stretch out ko ba sa job description ko na halos pareho lang yung ginagawa ko nun, icoconsider kaya nila yun sir,..
hi.. yes.. that is my point.. kaya nga i suggested to check ung mga ANZCO code description nila.. hindi ko kasi alam ang difference ng Archi vs CE draftsperson.. hehe..

kung all-around ka naman (ano to parang katulong lang.. haha joke)..so kung pwede mo ma-modify ang job description mo okay... (at sympre mas okay kung pwede ma-modify ang title mo)..
Hi. I don't know if you're still active sa site na to but I'll try my luck anyway. This is my problem too. ChE ako but accdg to ms gigi nagfa-fall under materials engr ung experience ko. May lusot pa po kaya tong case ko? Di pa po kasi nagrereply si Ms. Gigi.

@cascade

Depends on your job description, in my opinion, kahit same lang ang ginagawa mo, ok lang, ibahin mo lang yung words sa bawat career episode mo, Reasearch on thesaurus, di ba sa ielts naituro naman sa atin or based sa exam pwede naman iparaphrase mo yung ibang sentences pero iisa lang ang ibig sabihin.

Kung all around ka (yun ang ilalagay mo sa reference letter). Pero dun sa career epispde piliin mo yung tumutugma sa nominated occupation mo. Remember ang reference letter ay dapat tutugma doon sa curriculum vitae (copy paste). Kung gusto mo talaga ang chemical engineer, dapat tugma dun sa anszco code job description, and sana naman tugma rin dun sa mga positions held mo. Consistency dapat para wala case officer na contact.

@aicee
Thank you aicee, your response made me read the booklet again ng mas maigi.

aicee · December 2018

@mercurial15 : Best of luck

steven · December 2018

Hello po sa lahat, may tanong lang po ako.... " May expiration po ba or limit of validity yung assessment outcome (CDR+RSEA) from Engineers Australia?" . I'm just eager to know lang po...sorry. Thank you in advance po sa sasagot :-)

aicee · December 2018

@steven: eto po nklagay s EA website:

How long is the assessment letter valid for migration purposes? Do I need a Duplicate Letter?
Whilst the assessment outcome will remain valid indefinitely for Engineers Australia, our understanding is that DIBP mandates that the assessment notification be no more than three years old at the date of migration application. If you require an updated letter of assessment after this time, please contact our Member Service Team.

kenroy · December 2018

Hi mga boss.. ano po kaya specifically na dapat makita ng assessor sa feedback na to?

"Please review this career episode to include all technical details such as graphs, charts, diagrams and etc in the career episode."

I worked as highway engineer and I did included formulas and explained the process i did. Am i missing something? Thanks po ulit pinoyau!

JHONIEL · December 2018

@kenroy Sir maybe they are looking for more visual aids, graphs, diagrams, etc. Tsaka importante sir ung detailed engineering approach na ginamit mo and problem solving tecniques na ginamit mo at ano ung naging impact sa company nung hinawa mong solutions. For instance sakin po ay more on root cause analysis kasi I work in a manufacturing company.

kenroy · December 2018

@JHONIEL hi sir thanks for replying. Yes tama po pero naweirdohan lang ako kasi sabi sa msa booklet e avoid too much technicalities even diagrams or charts. I did explain in my "personal engg activities" (part which they commented for revision) how i design highways and I even mentioned the standard (AASHTO) I used. I worked as a quantity surveyor prior to shifting to design and supposedly pure volumetric shapes lamg sya and I am using a software in both my work, all of which I indicated din sir. Sa graphs po kaya, is it ok na iindicate/citing mga tables ng stabdards that i used? Or meron pa silang specific na hinahanap? Thanks again sir

jld857 · December 2018

hello! got a positive outcome from EA just now pero hindi nila nilagay yung years of work experience sa outcome letter kasi hindi sila na satisfy sa evidences. :-(

akala kasi nila self-employed ako ngayon, nag request ng business registration e wala naman ako nun. instead, ang sinubmit ko were yung BIR Form 1604-CF (substitute tax filing) and Form 2316 as ITR as proof na employee ako ni current employer. nag email nga ulit ako clarifying the reasons bakit hindi tinanggap yung ITR as proof na hindi ako self-employed. any idea? salamat!

hopeful_Z · December 2018

@jld857 nag-avail ka po ng RSEA? Pag CDR lang po kasi wala talagang years of work exp sa outcome letter.

gibo43 · December 2018

@jld857 please check the requirements of EA for claiming RSEA. Ano ano bang evidences ipinasa mo for work experience?

jld857 · December 2018

@hopeful_Z @gibo43 yup nag avail po ko ng RSEA. tinanong ko si EA and nag respond just now. sabi inaccept daw nila yung BIR forms as proof na hindi ako self-employed BUT ang ginamit daw nilang secondary document is SSS where hindi consistent yung hulog nung employer ko (nag start lang ng 2016 for contract service workers).

yung sa ITR naman (BIR Form 1604-CF and Form 2316) kumpleto for all years from 2014 to 2017. akala ko pwede din ITR as secondary document. siguro dahil hindi third party yung forms 1604 and 2316 though stamped naman by BIR yung form 1604.

jld857 · December 2018

nag pass din pala ko ng notarized copies of work contracts from 2014 (complete months up to now) pero unfortunately sa SSS pa din sila nag based.

gibo43 · December 2018

@jld857 how about payslips?

gibo43 · December 2018

Pwede mo din pala kunin yung Philhealth record mo na may name ng company. Nakalimutan ko na tawag dun pero pwede din yun na proof of paid employment.

jld857 · December 2018

@gibo43 hindi ako complete sir ng payslips. paper based kasi yun, hindi ko naipon lahat from 2014.

gibo43 · December 2018

@jld857 pero sinubmit mo pa din? Ako di rin complete pero nagsubmit pa din ako.

jld857 · December 2018

yup sinubmit ko pa din. eto yung latest response ni EA tanong kasi ako ng tanong bakit ganun outcome haha.

"Definition of secondary documents (third party documents) is the documents are issued from sources independent to your employer.

The documents you have provided, for example Work Contracts and Pay Slips are all issued by your employer, therefore, they are not secondary documentary evidence for your Relevant Skilled Employment Assessment."

recently lang yata yang rules na yan na dapat third-party document yung isusubmit na secondary evidence.

gibo43 · December 2018

@jld857 try mo yung philhealth (not mdr pero yung may employer name and dates of contribution) pagibig (number of contributions)

jld857 · December 2018

@gibo43 thanks sir. lumabas na yung outcome e, sa actual visa application ko na lang ulit submit lahat ng documents. sana sa immi, i-accept na yung ITR ko. :-)

steven · December 2018

@aicee Thank you very much po for taking the time to point out these details from EA website :-) Dito na rin ako mag babasa moving forward :-)

aicee · December 2018

@steven: Welcome. Goodluck po

ms_ane · December 2018

@jld857 I agree with @gibo43 - maari mong gamitin as reference din ang philhealth at pag ibig contributions. mas ok pa nga sa sa pag ibig kasi talagang naka reflect ang company name. hopefully your contributions from 2014 are reflected na doon. in my opinion, sayang naman ang bayad sa RSEA mo if you won’t push through - mabait naman ang EA kasi tignan mo nagrereply din sila agad.
you can reach out to pag ibig online (may chat services sila) and philhealth. if wala ka log in details madali lang to create as long as alam mo mga membership ID numbers mo, if di mo naman natandaan ang membership ID’s, both can also retrieve for you just give your personal details and employmeny details

kaya pa yan! Goodluck!
