Hi, noob question po...

Regarding sa VetAsses CV, should I still include freelance jobs in my work experiences that aren't related to the skill I'm applying to (Graphic Designer)? Another concern is since freelance jobs po ang mga yon, mostly cash basis ang payment and I may not have enough proof of payments na ma-provide din.

Maraming salamat po sa mga sasagot Have a good day, everyone!

Working as freelance is classified as self employed. The documents needed are listed on the guideline.

Thanks for the response po, I will look this up.
However, should I still include them in my CV even if the work experience is not related to my nominated occupation?

Yung freelance jobs naman do not cause gaps between employment in your nominated occupation?

Hi po uli, sorry for the late reply...
Yung freelance jobs (na unrelated sa nominated occupation) may isang taon na gap lang naman po.

Btw, kaya ko lang rin po naitanong kung kailangan pa ba i-include sa Vetasses CV kasi naisip ko baka need for formality or for the record lang na makita nila yun entire work history kahit unrelated sa nominated occupation.

@bkbkck - seems to me it doesn't make sense to add your freelance jobs since you don't have proof of payment or business registration for you to be considered self-employed. Also, you can submit under subclass 190 din since your anzsco is eligible for it. Nakita ko kasi sa signature mo na you're only targeting provisional visas. Wala naman bayad ang EOI at okay lang mag try malay mo.

** copied from VETASSESS **

_Self-employed:
If you are self-employed, you are required to provide the following:

a) Evidence of self-employment such as sole trading or business registration details and /or official statements issued by your (registered) accountant and/or legal team. The statement from your accountant or solicitor must include the accountant's or solicitor's letterhead, your full name, how long you have been continuously self-employed including official dates in each role, the nature of the business conducted, the signature and contact details of the accountant or solicitor. View Employment Reference for Self-Employment template.

b) Statutory declaration listing your main duties during self-employment;

c) Payment evidence showing regular income from self-employment, such as client invoices together with corresponding bank statements and/ or official taxation records;

d) Supplementary evidence, such as contracts with clients or suppliers, client testimonials, evidence of projects completed etc._

Hi, thank you po sa advice! Actually kinakapa ko pa rin po kung alin visa ang kukunin, nailagay ko lang po temporarily yun sa signature pero isa na rin po yung subclass 190 sa kinoconsider ko

If it's unrelated yo your nominated occupation, I think it's not required to include it.

Good Evening, Just want your opinion, concerned lang ako sa isang job ko na ipa pa asses.

Hindi na nagrereply yung may ari or any colleague so gumawa na lang ako ng Statutory/Sworn Statement ng ako nag sign at notarized. Ang supporting evidence ay - Government benefits (SSS.Philhealth,Pag-IBIG), Employment agreement, Certificate of Employment, Office Memo, and Company ID.

Wala akong nakuwang payslips, sweldo namin naka bank check(wala akong na save na picture - sayang), and ITR .

Thank you

May bank statement po kayo to show na may pumapasok na sahod sa inyo?

Roberto21 · March 14

Wala pero, during that time - Yung bank check Kasi naka Metrobank tapos Ang bank ko ay BDO.

Ang Hindi ko matandaan ko is kung nag deposit Ako Ng Metrobank check, sa aking BDO account.

If ever na nag request Ako Ng bank statement Kay BDO, makikita kaya Doon na galing Kay Metrobank Yung Check ?

Hi All, total noob here and hndi makatulog about vetassess, hence the 3am comment.

Me and my husband are starting to gather our documents for vetassess. We had been freelancers (architects) since 2021 till now. We dont have DTIs and proof of payment kasi usually sa bank ni husband nagccredit yung payments tpos tinatransfer lang sakin yung parte ko.

Q1: do we include the freelance experience sa CV namin eventhough we’re not claiming points for them?

Q2: if hndi namin iddeclare, makakaaffect kaya yung malaking gap sa assessment?

Thank you sa sasagot

Q1 - yung relevant experience na i claim mo, yun lang ang need mo i prove. if you want to still try to claim this freelance work, meron guide sa vetassess FAQs.
https://www.vetassess.com.au/news/self-employment-experience-for-a-professional-occupation-skills-assessment

Q2 - gaps wont affect. they will ready whatever you are claiming within the past 10 years IMHO.

Hi all, how many payslips did you have to upload as part of the payment evidence? Do you need to upload ALL payslips that you have? Thank you po.

I did 3 payslips per year (consecutive months), for each company worked.

thank you. Actually annual tax return initially inupload ko pero may message na insufficient. I though 1 payment evidence will be enough na. Parang kailangan pa talaga ng payslip.

Kailangan ng payslip. Tandem yang govt tax return at yung payslip + yung company letter stating your position, job scope, salary and working hrs.

With the visa changes happening faster than you can drink your bubble tea, priority processing is worth the money. Go for it if you have the means.

What is Date Deemed Skilled (DDS)?
As part of the Skills Assessment process, we work out when you were considered (deemed) skilled in your occupation. We determine this by looking at your employment over the last 10 years and how it relates to the occupation we are assessing. The Date Deemed Skilled is the date when you have met the VETASSESS skills assessment requirements for your occupation.
How long is the VETASSESS Skills Assessment outcome letter valid for?
VETASSESS Skills assessments are valid for three years from the original date of issue. Applicants should also seek confirmation from the Department of Home Affairs regarding the requirements for their visa application.
I cannot provide an updated letter of reference because my previous employer went out of business. What can I provide as an alternative?
You must submit as many other official documents as you can to support evidence of the company’s existence and your employment claims. These may include business registration records, your contract documents, your letter of appointment, previous letters of reference and/or promotion, position descriptions, formal notice of business closure, official taxation receipts, pay slips and bank statements that have your employer’s details.
Does the organisational chart need to be issued on company letterhead?
Yes. Managerial positions are commonly evidenced by an organisation chart issued on official company letterhead and endorsed by appropriate level/authorised people within the organisation. If you are unable to provide this evidence on company letterhead, please provide the reasons and relevant organisational chart details in a statutory declaration.
I am a self-employed/owner of a company. How can I prove my employment and role within the company?
To support any self-employment claims, we require official evidence/testimonies from authorised service providers. This could be a legal practitioner or a qualified/Chartered accountant. Accountant/legal testimonies should clearly explain your primary responsibilities at the company and the details of your annual income received. You should supply evidence of your employment responsibilities with official client testimonies for work/projects/performance of tasks completed. These must be accompanied by payment evidence, which can include taxation receipts.
I have been working for two different employers simultaneously. Will you accept both employment positions to meet the 20 hours per week requirement?
Work experience of at least 20 hours per week generally means 20 hours per week for each employment position. However, where your contract of employment provides for variable distribution of hours, we may take this into consideration in determining whether you satisfy the employment requirement of at least 20 hours per week. To provide evidence of this claim, you must supply detailed official evidence of your terms of employment and payment evidence. To avoid any doubt, any period of employment that fails to meet the “minimum 20 hours per week” benchmark will not meet our skills assessment requirements.

I think ito yung Reference Number. If you u don't mind me asking, ano yung reason for urgent processing? Natry mo ba mag apply for priority processing?

Hello, question lang po. Yung COE kasi na binigay sakin ng previous company ko walang working per week and salary earned (although nabanggit ko naman siya sa request ko). Pwede po kayang isama ko na lang yung offer letter/contract ko sa mga docs na ipapasa for skills assessment since naka-indicate naman dun yung working hours and salary (plus payslips din)? Ayoko na po kasi sana ipa-revise pa sa previous company yung COE kasi aabutin na naman ng halos 1 month bago nila magawa. Thanks po.

Can you request again?

If not: ang naiisip ko idagdag is a Statutory declaration na complete info with working hours and salary. Attach contract with full time work details including salary.
