Architect - Applying as Architectural Draftsperson

heisenberg_10 · June 24

Just pick important pages, no need to put in the whole 37 pages. Ginawa ko last time, around 3-4 pages lng per project. Kung ano lang kasya sa file size limit. Samples lang.

Take with a grain of salt but I doubt it. I had my assessment on priority processing, took only 5 days to get the positive result, and I have about 5 employers, 2 of them are not English speaking (Japanese). Sa dami ng nag papa assess, I doubt na kaya nilang ma accomplish ang pag tawag-verify sa employers in just 5 days for me. Then, iniisp ko rin pano nila kakausapin ung non-English speaking employers lol...

I was working for one of these employers during my assessment wala naman tumawag sa kanila.
But again, I'm not a sole reference, baka ung iba may experience na tinawagan ung employers nila - siguro ung mga naka non-priority processing...

Just curious, bakit kelangan isipin kung tatawag sila sa employer?
Don't get me wrong, may mga hindi talaga kadaling icontact na employers pero tawagan man sila or hindi ng assessor or DHA, that shouldn't bother us right? Magtiwala tayo sa information and documents na sinubmit natin.

Ang thinking ko sa ganito lagi, this is just my opinion ha, when they notice some loop holes or medyo sketchy saka yan mag initiate ng verification of info.

I'm slightly going on tangent here. We shouldn't worry as long as the documents and the information are genuine, which we should always ensure it's the case. But I did have some concerns before since one of the companies I have worked for is already defunct during the assessment - so my concern was, if they couldn't contact them would they deem my experience with them as invalid? Fortunately, di naman ganito ang ending but this is a real concern in terms of employment, as some employers would hold your offer if they couldn't verify some of the employment facts in your CV. Just saying...

halo halo na yung nabasa ko so mamili ka na lang AHAHHA

may nabasa ako sa fb na may tumawag dun sa employer nya, pero di nasagot. negative outcome. onshore.
sabi naman ni traci migration, DHA used to call the employers and even visit on site. kahit offshore. pero not anymore.
in this forum, wala pa naman akong nabasa na tinawagan yung employer nila (or did i miss it?)
di rin naman tinawagan ni assessing authority employers ko. afaik lolz

as long as your files are genuine and complete, you should be good. if they will need more info, they will ask you.

Makes sense if the employer closed down and verification is needed for a job offer. In terms of assessment kasi kung ganyan nga ang case, hindi na shortcoming sa part ng applicant yun. So long as docs are genuine and correct, malaki ang chance maipanalo kahit madami pang clarifications ang assessor. Kumbaga, kahit ikut-ikutin nila yan, alam mo lagi kung saan ibabalik. I believe maalam naman sila sa mga ganyan din.

Another case lang na naiisip ko is when you really don't have a cooperative employer that you haven't tied up loose ends with. Di naman maiiwasan yan at walang may gusto. Pero ayun nga, panindigan nalang yung sinubmit na information. Wag masyado magworry.

Thank you so much po sa mga sagot niyo!
wala namang problema sa mga docs ko all documents that i've provided are genuine po ang worry ko lang naman is what if tumawag sila sa mga employer ko then hindi nila na sagot or hindi nila macontact baka yun ang magiging negative result ng outcome

Actually during application ko last time, ni minsan di ko naisip to. Yung tatawagan employers. Hahaha. Pero wala naman naging issue, parang wala naman tumawag.

One advice lang pala is to make sure nacocontact nyo pa rin previous employers. Nangyari sa application ko dati. Nagsend si vetassess ng clarification regarding sa portfolio ko. Minor things like bakit hindi complete yung start and end of dates of employment, saka bakit hindi colored yung company logo. In the end humingi ulit ako ng new statement of service sa previous employer ko.

heisenberg_10 · July 4

@fmp_921

yes po na cocontact naman sila, pero pumunta po ako mismo sa mga office nila para mag hingi ng statement of service hirap kasi nila mag reply kapag email eh, pwede ko po ba malaman yung concern nila sa portfolio niyo? dba checheck lang po nila mga sample works and selected architectural works mo?

heisenberg_10 · July 4

pasensya mejo matanong po ako kahit may agent -_-, i just prefer asking to those who have actual experience para sure lahat ng move at desisyon ko

No prob at all. Di maiiwasan mga ganyang worries sa assessment phase. Guidance from first hand experiences lang din naman maibibigay namin. As shared by fmp_921, the assessor will contact you should there be any clarification.
ACS and Vetassess may be different assessing bodies but in general, naexperience ko din, mag eemail muna sila sayo kung may kelangan isubmit or linawin. Worry less.

Sorry, portfolio / sample works. Yung sinubmit mo sa kanila. Minor lang comment, regarding company logo lang. Bakit daw hindi colored. Haha. Nilinaw ko lang na black and white talaga logo ng company na yun. Positive outcome naman.

Hi. Sana makatulong. For reference this FY po nsa 80pts dn ako. Di nainvite. Wife ko nainvite at 95pts.

If tama yung nasa news, more invited for this FY so sana mas mababa cut off ng invites this time around. Anyway, goodluck sa PTE. Ganda timing nyo, kakabukas lang new FY. Lapit n invites nyan

Yes patiently waiting for grant na lang. As of now nasa 15 months na ang processing time. Hoping it will improve in the coming weeks.

heisenberg_10 · July 15

Hi po, manugnuglit ulit hehe, ask ko lang po if kapag MEP drafter ka ok lang ba yun sa skill assessment? or tatangalin nila yun sa years of experience mo? may job opportunity kasi.

Hello po, if ang Vetassess mo ay Archi Draftsperson pero ang job title ay MEP Modeler and yung job description mo po ay duly stated na MEP works, baka hindi po ma-count. For my case kasi (i submitted May 2024, positive July 2024), bukod sa automatic -1year nila sa work exp, binawas pa nila yung isang job title ko kasi hindi sya Archi Drafting works. Pero I suggest try nyo na din ilagay, para sila yung magdedecide kung icocount nila or hindi

@cccubic
i see, naka lagay kasi sa job description nila is MEP Drafter, pero nung nagsubmit ako resume sakanila is more on archi drafting ang nakalgay sa resume ko wala masyadong about MEP pero still interested parin sila so napaisip lang ako if gagrab ko ba to baka lang masayang time ko if hindi counted.

Try mo na lang din include sa ipapa assess mo. No harm naman siguro. Ang importante is ung job descriptions mo, not really on job title. If tally or close enough baka mainclude. Na kay vetassess na decision.
