Hello po, planning to take an skills assessment din po ako this year for architectural Draftsperson. Ask ko lang if tinawagan po ba referee nyo or kayo mismo tinawagan ni VETASSESS for interview or thru email lang po? Thank you po

Hi @reandf0709 sa experience ko nung nagpaassess ako last year e di tinawagan yung 2 na pumirma ng SOS ko sa pinas at dito sa SG. Not sure sa iba baka may random na tinatawagan ni VETASSESS.

Hello po! I'm new here. I just got a positive outcome po sa vetassess and reviewing na po for PTE. Just wanted to ask po, if need din po ba ng husband ko na magvetassess as an architectural draftsperson? Same with PTE, both po kami need magtake ng test, right?
Thank you so much po in advance.

Ye mate. Power pag both couple at positively assessed and with both superior english. Not only mataas score mo, ofcourse meron yung parang usap usapan na mas madali ma invite? Char!

Congrats!

Bakapag nag open baka ma-invite kayo agad. Same tayo occupation & partner skill. Pagka update ko ng Superior english, na invite ako sumunod na round at 90 points.

Pero sana mag invite narin ng offshore yung mga states this FY. Last year kasi NSW & SA lang yung may invites ng offshore sa occupation natin.

Sana nga po, talagang goal namin sa VIC sana. Pag po ba different state, different EOI din ba?

It’s always safe to assume they will call. After all, they reserve the right to do so. Not because others have not experienced this doesn’t mean yours will be the same

Hello, I have a few questions...

I'm based in the Philippines, working as a consultant BIM Architect (fully remote) for a large archi firm based in the Middle East. Consultant setup so I basically function like a normal WFH employee, pero contractually, hindi ako under the employ ng company.

Nasa 4 years total ang work experience ko sa ngayon (but not yet assessed by Vetassess) and best-case is nasa 75 points (assuming Superior English, positive assessment of 3 yrs overseas work exp) for Architectural Draftsperson - Subclass 190. It will realistically take another 2 or 3 years of age & work experience bago tumaas ulit yung points ko and improve my chances.

So, my questions:
1) Is 75 points good enough as it is now? So far as per my own research online, nasa 85-90 daw yung most common na naga-grant lately. So I understand kung medyo low ang chances, pero still asking to hopefully be told otherwise hahaha.

2) Would any of you know of any medium-large architecture/construction companies in Australia wherein nagha-hire din sila under a consultancy setup similar to my current job? I know for smaller offices/studios it is more common, as I've personally worked in a similar setup for a small Sydney-based studio previously. But now I'm leaning more into working for larger-size companies if given the privilege of choice hehe (personal career preferences).

Additionally, honestly ok naman yung work and company ko ngayon in terms of salary, workload, etc., but I'm exploring the thought of applying for companies more aligned to my longterm goal: Australia. I basically just want to make better use of my time and current skills in a way na nag-aalign with my long-term goals. So any leads would help!

3) Kung swertehin man akong makahanap ng work for an Australian company in that setup, would it count as "Australian Work Experience" points-wise? Answer to that is probably a no, but still I hope I'm wrong.

TYIA!
