Hello all,
I'm almost done doing my CDRs pero nag dadalawang isip ako if yung mga attached photos and calculations ko from my projects will be considered as plagiarism. Bale may copy kasi ako nung mga calculation reports ko dati at yun na rin nilagay kong references/images sa CDRs.
Ma co-consider po kaya iyun as plagiarism since it is considered as my employer's property although ako gumawa nung reports? Salamat po sanay mka tulong kayu:)

Example: Kukuha ka ng loan or magupgrade ka ng skills mo o magaral ng masters
Why not ikaw na gumawa ng reference letter based dun sa format, I assume nabasa mo yung latest Engineer Australia na format, then ilagay mo ang details na yun like position, payrate, task na closely related sa nominated occupation, address ng company, letter head and etc.
Let them sign, and date, contact number of the person, position
Hindi COE ah kasi limited lang yun info, Reference Letter na may sangkatutak na info.

Hello fellow engineers. I just want to seek your insights sana.
I currently have a pending skills assessment + RSEA with EA. They came back with a comment regarding my previous employment asking for an explanation of how it is related to my nominated occupation. My agent advised me to submit an affidavit of job description with the stamp and signature of an authorized witness (Notary Public).
My question is, is it really necessary for the explanation to be notarized? I am currently working in SG and notarization here is costly.

Hi, ganito din yung comment sa husband ko sa EA application nya when he applied last September 2022. To address the comment, gumawa kami ng 'mini career episode' demonstrating engineering activities based sa Anzsco (mga 2pages din yung narrative nya). Hindi na nya pinanotarize. Positively assessed naman yung employment na yun.

I attached 4 payslips per year. One for every quarter, unless there is a gap in other evidences (sss, pagibig, philheath), I also included payslips from those gaps as much as possible.

Hello po. As of today AwaitingInformation ang status nung sakin. Nanghingi kasi sila ng updated na reference letter from my previous company kasi kulang daw ang details. Ang problem ko kasi may agent ako, so sya ang nagssubmit ng mga docs ko tapos nakikita ko lang ang status thru my account. Last friday ko pa nasend sa agent ko pero di ko sure kung nasubmit na nia kasi di pa rin napapalitan ang status.
Actually mejo nagsisisi na nga ako kasi parang mas tumagal ang process nung sakin dahil sa agent. Matagal sya magreply and parang di naman nia agad nassubmit ung mga docs ko.

Hi, magpapatulong lang po sana ako with the following queries since maraming hinihingi/feedback yung assessor:
Would it be okay na yung iresubmit na career episode is from the other company na pinagtrabahuan? Like magiging 2 career episodes under 1 employer lang. Pero yung initial na pinasa ko po sa EA, 1 career ep per 1 employer.
SSS/Pag-ibig Contibution - Hinhanap ng assessor yung "employer name" pero voluntary paying po kasi ako since I am currently working as an independent contractor for an Int'l company; pwede po kayang ihighlight ko nalang yung yrs inclusive na contractor ako and then mag-addt'l comment na lang po ako na "Individual Payor" ako so hindi talaga lalabas yung employer name dun sa SSS/Pag-ibig Portal? Or may iba pa po bang way para ma-prove itong abt sa secondary documents ko po for my current employment?
FYI, I already attached bank statements, invoices and even ITR filing ko po pero hiningi pa rin nila young SSS/Pag-ibig.

Pwede mo gawin na multiple career episodes sa isang company lang. Sa akin, 2 Career Episodes sa isang employer lang - different projects lang. If okay sa assessor na magpasa ka ng bago, then go ahead. not unless meron syang hinihingi based sa sinubmit mo talaga.
