Ito yan https://internationaleducation.gov.au/services-and-resources/services-for-organisations/Pages/Services-for-organisations.aspx

Australia ang nag rank nyan. Per country meron CEP.

I see, baka outdated na yung list of schools and section dito sa forum. Compared sa realtime data from the CEP. Baka yung admins ng pinoyau forum can update na yung "school and section list" here if they have bought access din sa tool.

No sir, from Australia, galing po mismo sa Department of Education ng Australia. Si Australia po nag rrank according sa parameters nila. All the details of how they measure it are in the website.

Yeah that's what i thought too. Pero yung uni ko kasi has been highly ranked for number years, kaya nag taka ako kung bakit section 2 school siya. So did some digging, ayun turned out section 1 school siya. I've been in the forum na po for 5 years and once ir twice po ata nila na update list of schools nila.

Not finding fault on the admin or what, just fyi narin. Iwas abala, laking bagay kasi nito sa pag prep ng ACS docs at lalo sa points.

Share ko lang in experience ko in relation sa selection ng candidates ng mga companies sa AU.

I've worked with 2 MSPs in the regional area, ang hanap talaga nila ay yung experienced skilled professional. Mapili din sila sa work ethic at ugali napansin ko. One thing na namangha ako ay ang aking skill level, tingin ko sa sarili ko magaling na ako sa Pinas, pagdating dito, NOPE haha. Naka naka 4 companies na ako dito at isa lang masasabi ko, mababangis sila.

Skill wise they are very very good, di ko maiwasan ma compare yung skillset nung nasa Pinas ako at mga naging ka trabaho ko. Youngest i've worked with was an 18yr old na hasang hasa na sa IT, at 90% rin ng mga ka work ko walang mga IT degrees. No kidding, yung iba meron parang TAFE courses kinuha nila. Pero skill wise talalga walang masasabi, solid fundamentals at ambibilis maka pick up and high level ang knowledge nila sa specialties nila.

Nakaramdam ba ako ng insecurity, oo naman di maiiwasan yan. Anung ginawa ko? nag aral ng nag aral uli, nag upskill ng mga bagong tech, sinusubukan ko palawakin skill set ko para mas marketable ako at mapakita na may ibubuga migrants haha.

Interestingly enough, sa region kung nasan ako ang dami shortage ng skilled IT talent. Yung role ko ngayon, took them 4 months to find the right candidate(me lol), aside from that got offers from other companies that were looking for the same role. Asan mga local? Sadly nahihiripan silang maka break through sa job market. Ang hanap nila dito may mga experience na, karamihan din ng mga naka work ko mga Indians, mga mababangis din yung mga anaps na yun, sila kalaban mo sa skilled migration.

Yun lang nag share lang po and yes, mahirap mag gather ng documents for ACS.

Good read! Sa Tech talaga hard skills ang labanan lalo na kung sa technical/development/infra ang specialty mo. Certification(s) is the key! Lalo na ngayon most are moving to the cloud.

In Tech, I believe local experience may be preferred if position is for BA or PM, as you need domain knowledge to perform the tasks for these jobs. Ito yung mostly kausap ng stakeholders, hence kelangan ng rapport and you can only build that when you start a working relationship with them users. Dito na papasok yung cultural awareness. Plus points nalang kung applicable sa aus company yung methods na ginamit sa previous company.

Work ethics wise, mas believe pa rin ako sa pinoy haha. Love your own lol.

Completely agree sa PM and BA roles na locals ang preffer nila.

However, sa certifications. Di sila masyado bilib sa mga vendor exams. Wala silang pake kung may cert ka as long as kaya mo gawin yung trabaho efficiently. Ending experience is greater than cert. Nag ccert lang sila for compliance.

Ooh ganon pala. So yung mas matagal na sa industry ang ihihire pag ganyan. How about experienced vs may masteral? Just curious.

ACS Migration Skills Assessment - Payslip Questions

Hello! I’ve checked the new guidelines regarding Payment Evidence. For the payslip, they need to have the following: 1) Employer name, address, and logo, 2) Start and end periods for the payment, 3) Salary or wages, 4) Tax, 5) Your name, 6) Your job title, 7) Your work address.

Some of my payslips don’t have item 6, and some lack item 7. Has anyone tried submitting those kinds of payslips? Were you still assessed by the ACS?

Hindi ko alam if strict sila sa new process ngayon. I can confirm may iba akong payslips without item7 pero okay naman assessment ko. Isubmit mo nalang din since yun lang naman talaga content ng payslip mo. Wala naman mawawala kung issubmit.

Hoping that those assessed positively by ACS on the new system can share.

Not with the new system but I provided all payment evidence that I can come up with. After all, mahirap maperfect yung hinahanap nila kasi iba iba per company. Your other payment evidence should strengthen your claim that it was a paid work episode.

Hi, @Iggyyyyy @jmcounters.
Were you able to get a positive outcome?
Same concern here. My payslips from the different companies I've worked for didn't have the 6) job title & 7) work address. 😅

Yes, I got a positive outcome. I provided bank statements, payslips, ITR (kulang kulang), SSS, PAGIBIG and Philhealth contribution.

Hi, would like to ask if ano sinubmit nyo for pagibig documents. Screenshot ba ng contribution page (per year) or print to pdf ng contribution page (per year)?

I tried kasi yung print to pdf, medyo plain yung nagenerate na file. May header lang na 'Pag-IBIG REGULAR SAVINGS' and then yung table of contributions.

Kapag print screen ng browser, dun kita yung site url, side menu bar, and yung table of contributions.

Thank you!

Screenshot lang yung sakin ng monthly contributions ko, which shows which employer paid/contributed for the indicated month. Basically, yun naman yung gusto mo ipakita, na you were with the employer you declared for a certain period.

Curious din po as planning to take certs from Microsoft and ISTQB sana after submitting eoi application, inisip ko kasi to increase the chances na makahanap ng work pag andun na.
