Hello po,

Im in the process of creating a draft/sample for employee reference that my employer can use to provide me the official Employee reference (with company letter head, hr manager signature etc...)

Advisable po ba to have the same wordings for Employee references on my 2 previous companies.
Bali ang difference lang between them are the Company Name, Start-End date, Position, Job descriptions ?

Or need po ba talaga sila worded in a different manner.

Thanks!

Hello...Pano malalaman yung mga list ng post graduate ICT courses na puede itake para maconsider na bachelor's degree? Tama po ba nabasa ko na kailangan mo ng 30 units para ma assess ni ACS as bachelor's? salamat sa sasagot.

@coolitz_12 sorry late reply, ACS result ko. ICT Major, ANZSCO code 261313. Total experience ko is 10yrs and 7months. Na claim ko is 4yrs and 7months. Hope that helps.

theloftprince · May 2019

hello po, sa requested employee reference letter, required po ba na may number of hours or will "full time employee" be enough? thanks in advance sa feedback.

Good day! May I just ask if meron ng SAP Functional Consultant na nagpa-assess sa ACS? If yes ano yung naging nomination job na ginamit, ICT Business Analyst o Analyst Programmer? Thank you.

SAP_Consultant · May 2019

@kat2019, 261111 ICT Business Analyst.

@SAP_Consultant thank you

coolitz_12 · June 2019

@mister.hyde Thanks for the reply! I was wondering if last 10yrs work exp lang ang icocount buti naman at hindi ganun. Sayang pala yung result mo, 5 more months para makuha mo yung 5 yrs experience.
I already submitted mine and 2 weeks pa lang ngayon. praying for a positive feedback from ACS.

kat2019 · June 2019

Good day! Mag-ask lang po if may alam po kayo kung saan sa Q.C pwede magpanotarize?
Thank you.

jessec · June 2019

Got my ACS result also same as @mister.hyde na umabot ng 4 weeks.

jessec · June 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 ask ko lang if ano po equivalent points ang "as comparable to an AQF Associate Degree with a Major in computing"?

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@jessec it would be 10 points

jessec · June 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 thank you for the info..

Question po ulit.. if magpaassess na ako ngaun kay ACS and then ung 7th year ko pa is sa October 15.. matatag ba ako as 5 years sa pointing system since mag minus pa ng 2 years?

auyeah · June 2019

@jaaarman As far as I know, ACS will follow the dates mentioned in your reference letter. For example, if your Company states that you are employed up to present and ang date ng letter is June 6, 2019 hanggang doon lang ang ilalagay nila sa result letter. If you submit an EOI prior to your work anniversary in October, you still cannot claim 10pts for 5 years of work exp (even if it’s few months away nalang) but you can claim 5pts points for your actual work exp - 4+ years (after the two year deduction). However, your points in your application will automatically increase naman along with your experience. By October, there is no need for re-assessment if you want to claim additional points for your updated work experience as long as you’re staying in the same company that was already assessed by ACS and the result letter is still valid.
However, if you decide to transfer to a new company prior to October you will need to have your skills assessed again if you want to claim points for your latest work experience

jaaarman · June 2019

@auyeah Thank you so much for you reply!.. So October 15 pa ako magpaassess

.. I'll start with my PTE exam first then..

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@jaaarman @auyeah just to correct, the experience will be recognised beyond the date on the reference letter as Long as you haven’t changed employer. It will state in outcome letter from what date your skilled work experience is recognised. ie. The following employment after February 2010 is considered to equate to work at an appropriate skill level...

jaaarman · June 2019

@RheaMARN1171933 so it means that i can pass my assessment earlier than october and if ACS counted my current company and im still in my current company by the time I reach my 7 years working experience.. it will be counted?

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@jaaarman I don’t quite understand your situation and I can’t give you a formal advice via this forum but the info I gave earlier should be a guide for you.

Basically if you’ve got 6 years experience now, if your qualification is equivalent to an AQF bachelor degree than the will deduct two years from it so you can only claim 4 years but you accumulate the time of experience unless you change employers. If this is your situation, no need to delay your ACS application.

Just to clarify,
“@jaaarman As far as I know, ACS will follow the dates mentioned in your reference letter. For example, if your Company states that you are employed up to present and ang date ng letter is June 6, 2019 hanggang doon lang ang ilalagay nila sa result letter.

”

Hindi po kasi naroround off ang work experience even if your work anniversary is just a few months away. So if you have your skills assessed ngayon, you can’t claim points for 5 years of work exp yet. Now you have these options depending on your timeline (when you want to lodge your EOI, career plans and etc) and the points that you want to target for your occupation:

1. Have your skills assessed now and in your EOI you can claim 4+ years of exp or 5pts (if 2 years ang deduction ng ACS from your current experience). Then if you decide to stay in the same company until October, you don’t need another skills assessment because your initial assessment will still be valid and your points in your application will be automatically adjusted according to your current work experience - so magiging 10points na sya. You just need to attach in your application an updated reference letter proving that you are still working for the same company at that time. However, if you decide to move to another company after your ACS skills asssessment and before October, kailangan mo magpa assess uli kasama na yung bago mong experience with the new company if you want to claim points for that experience.
2. Have your skills assessed in October and claim the appropriate points.

Overall, it depends nalang on your target points, preferred timeline and your career plans (whether staying on the current company or not)on which option will suit you best. Hope this helps

RheaMARN1171933 · June 2019

@jaaarman @auyeah the skills assessment outcome is still valid even if he moves to a new employer as it expires after 2 years. If @jaarman changes employer after October, noneed to apply for another skills assessment as his points to claim remain the same - 10. It will only make sense to have his skills reassessed in 3 years when he’s claiming 8 years in order for his experience in his new employer be added and could claim 15 points instead.

Also to add, it cannot be assumed that he could straight away claim more points on his exact date of his “work anniversary” as it really all depends on the date on the outcome decision from ACS. As mentioned before, it will state there from what month and what year work experience is recognised.

If @jaarman would have been my client and based on how I understood his situation, he could apply for skills assessment now and make sure not to change employer until after October.

jaaarman · June 2019

@auyeah @RheaMARN1171933 Thank you both for the information and feedback!. I am really planning to pass my assessment now since It will take a long time before they give me the results.

Im also not planning on changing company until reach my 7th year here in the Philippines to get that 10 points

Hi everyone, meron po ba dito from Singapore na gumawa ng statutory declaration? Pwde po malaman kung saan kayo nagpanotaryo at kayo lang po ba ang gumawa ng affidavit template o meron dapat sundin? Salamat po sa mga sasagot:)

Al5yd · June 2019

Hello guys,
Meron po ba nag may 6 months, 6 months lang na job experience? ang nangyari kasi sakin is under agency ako, then after 6 months nabili nang another agency yung former, pero ayaw i-recognize nang new agency yung tenure ko from previous so yung remaing half lang ang binigay nila sakin. Will this affect the assessment?
Thank you.

Yung former officemate ko nag pa notaryo sya sa The Adelphi, Andrew EE & Company (yeah i know parang rapper lang lol ) I think familiar na din sila sa process na to so baka meron na din silang template for this.

@sher04 You're welcome! Let me know kung meron nga silang template for Affidavit. Mag start na din ako mag asikaso in a few months, for now concentrate muna sa PTE

Hello! Question, ok lang bang iinclude sa ACS assessment yung informal online job? Related sya sa occupation pero salary is sent directly sa bank account and walang taxes.
