I think one way you can have your CV edited is to check also those sites na nageedit ng CV (e.g. TopResume). I did it once when I was applying for a consulting job. If I remember it correctly, I paid mga 10k pesos for my CV to be edited and to have it aligned sa job na inaapplyan ko. I'm still using that CV until now naman inuupdate ko lang. But again, I did it for job purpose and not for migration purpose ha but something you can check and definitely cheaper than the 900 usd.

Hello! Good day!
Inquiring lang po sana kung meron na po ba dito nagpa-skill assessment sa AIQS with "suitable" outcome? Need to know some tips and inputs din. Hoping meron dito forum.
I am a civil engineer, but practicing QS for almost 9 years. With 6 years under MRICS supervisor.

Hello po! May I know if meron po dito na located here in Ph pero ung project na pinrovide sa CDR is located in Australia? Nag-aask po kasi si EA ng additional information like work visa or assignment letter if nagtravel sa Aus for work, which never applies to me naman since remote lng po ung work ko. Ano po dapat iprovide na evidence na hindi naman po ako nagwork sa Aus physically? May need iupload po kasi na doc. Thanks po! ☺️

Hello po.
Ano po kaya mas ok ipa assess?
Graduate po ako ng ECE, not licensed and no experience except po sa telecoms na ojt.
Or Plant/production engineer, 12 years experience sa manufacturing (semiconductor/molding).
Currently under student visa po na walang pathway, kaya gusto ko na sana sya ayusin. Kaso hindi ko po alam kung alin ang mas ok
TIA po sa mga sasagot.

I agree, better to get things sorted ASAP. There will be changes in student visa pathways so get things done na. You don’t need to have PRC as long as the institution you graduated from is in section 1.

Hello,
Good aft po.
Mejo doubt ako sa CV ko if isasama ko pa ba yung experience ko dito sa australia as part time? naka student visa po kasi ako, then planning ako mag apply nang another visa. Atm nasa EA Skills Assessment palang po ako, may question lang po ako sa part nang CV, isasama ko pa po ba yung experience ko dito or no need na, if no need na ano po ilalagay ko sa gap, kasi nagshift po ako sa IT profession 2 years ago. and ang iaapply ko for this visa is yung Industrial Engineer occupation po, yun kasi yung matagal ko experience sa pinas (6 years).
thanks po in advance!

Much better po ba kung yung ECE? Upon checking po, section 1 yung school ko.
Ang main concern ko is wala ako experience sa field na yun, hindi ko alam kung pano approach nya sa CDR and considering din po yung 12 years exp ko as plant/production engineer.
