Hello po, I am a Chemical Engineer seeking for advice. I have 2 work experiences na gusto ko po isama sa career episodes. 1st work experience is 4.5 years, yung duties po nito is match sa materials engineer (ANZSCO 233112). Second work experience naman is 5 years, dutied match sa Chemical Engineer (233111). I just want to gather opinions po sana if may nakapag-claim na po ng points for 'closely related occupations'? Plan ko po sana i-nominate na occupation is Chemical Engineer since yun yung pinakamatagal ko pong work experience, but I just want to know if may possibility po kaya na makapag-claim din ako ng points for my 1st job experience na related sa materials engineer considering na closely related naman siya kay chemical engineer based on ANZSCO? Aiming po sana ako na makaclaim ng maximum points for work experience since I have total of 9.5 years work experience already. Thanks po sa makakapag-share ng thoughts nila.

Hello po. I need help from anyone you have the same experience as me.
I got this EA feedback. What to do about this? TIA.
Joined: Jul 13, 2022
I think just proceed ung option 3. at least wala ka na ipprovide pang details. not sure with your goal. but if its just to get a positive feedback from EA and submit EOI the earliest, then option 3 is the most viable option for you.

Thank you po for your advise. Will proceed with this option.
Also, the EA asked for updated reference letter. I have been in the same company with several positions. I have submitted different reference for each position signed by diff managers as well.
But EA asked for updated reference letter. Shall I ask the reference letter from HR? and must state in the letter the summary of positions? I'm not comfortable asking these details to HR since I'm still connected with company.
Joined: Mar 10, 2016
Check the date if the reference letter you provided for your current employment. Usually when they ask for an updated letter, they just want the most recent date on the letter. Hope that helps

Hi guys! I'm a mechanical engineer po and yung school ko falls under section 2. Then board passer din po ako. Does it mean hindi ko na ba kailangang magpaassess kay EA? Will I be able to work as a Professional Engineer?
Planning to go to Au under SV, then during the first year of study, I will try to lodge for 189 or 190. By the looks of it, if makapagsuperior english ako, I could target 80 points for 189 and 85 points with 190. Even without considering na matapos ko yung two-year study, less than 3 years of work exp, and less than 1 year of professional year etc.
What are my chances na magrant po? Salamat po sa sasagot ng mga katanungan ko.

Medyo matagal po kasi ang process for 189/190. I heard pag onshore mas less ang competition for the skilled visa and mas priority.

Dear guys
Industrial Engineer by education.
Just had my EA assessment and may revisions na need
"PLEASE EXPLAIN IN DETAIL HOW IS THIS EMPLOYMENT RELATED TO YOUR NOMINATES OCCUPATION"
Does this mean revise the entire CDS or just have another letter? Anyone with similar situation? Thank you

Last year nga mas priority ang offshore, there was an invite round na puro offshore lang ininvite and the scores went as low as 70. Meron din ako offshore IE friend na nag apply ng PR nung Oct, granted after 5 mos. Isa ko namang friend na ME onshore nag apply ng PR nung Dec pero til now wala pa grant so it's all up in the air. If you can gather the CDR docs like payslips, SSS and whatnot habang nasa pinas ka pa that would be ideal.
There's also talks na by next year, iibahin na ang pts system and magiging less favorable sya sa mga international students so you can also consider that. Good thing na aware ka sa visa steps and minamaximize mo ung pts now, your plan is feasible. All the best!

thank you so much po sa feedback nyo. One last question po sana, hesitant ako dun sa work exp ko na 4 years na magkameron ng positive assessment kasi wala po akong ITR, hulog sa benefits, and payslips. The only thing na pwede ko maproduce is yung reference letter from them and yung COE. And base din po sa nabalitaan ko, nagsara na yung company. May idea po ba kayo kung merong workaround para magkameron pa din ng laban for positive assessment yung exp ko? Like affidavits?

hello engineers, nakapagdraft na ako ng three episodes and next na gagawin ko yung summary sheet.
1.may napanood ako sa youtube na copy paste from the paragraphs yung brief summary ng elements, ganito ba dapat or pwedeng general statement since hindi lang sa iisang paragraph number na-address yung items?
2. yung downloadable and fillable form na red background sa EA ba ang gagamitin or need gumawa ng sariling file?
pwedeng po pahingi ng sample ng complete (3 episodes and summary) dagdag confidence lang bago ifinalize hehehehe email: [email protected]
thanks:)

Hello, anyone here who lodged their requirements for MSA last May and still no outcome yet? I lodged mine last May 9th. Status changed into assessment in progress last June 9th and still waiting for outcome until now. This is fast track for agent btw.
Joined: Jun 20, 2023
I have a degree in Electronics (ECE) Engineering, but my work is more related to Plant Engineering (Mechanical), and more recently Electrical (Magulo, I know. hehe) . When I consulted with an agency they just said it will be difficult to get a positive outcome, with no way forward given to me-- granted it was a free consultation so di naman sila required na magbigay ng suggestion. haha
Anyway I just saw a recent post here na nagreply ang assessor na Engineering Technologist na lang ang kunin. Anyone else decided to do this and got an invitation? Hirap na hirap na rin ako gumawa ng CDR na kelangan i-align sa Electronics (since iniisip ko yun ang lisensya ko baka yun ang hanapin ng EA.)
Thanks for your replies!
Also, need ba talaga mag RSEA?? Ang mahal eh and ang hassle ng reference docs! HAHA Thanks!

Hi po !
answer to Q1 : general statement lang po for each competency metrics- sa remarks on another column tie the general statements to as many CEs demonstrating this metrics by spelling out the CE#s at paragraph #s in those CEs
answer to Q2 : use the EA form - if you make your own -medyo risky dahil your going out from EAs rubrics

btw the agent applied a renewal application by fast track and added offshore experience, expecting a bottleneck -just what you are in right now, last time it took 35 days for mine to get an outcome after submitting . The agent mentioned waiting 2 months to get an outcome.
