Applying as Interior Designer

Anyone here who is or has applied as Interior Designer? Karamihan kasi ng nakikita ko kapag sinearch ko yung group is nagdraftsman instead na path.

I’m an Interior Design graduate currently working as a designer with 13 years of experience but I’m also turning 34 and unfortunately bumaba na yung points ko :(

I’m currently fixing my CV and portfolio, finally pursuing this after so many years. Baka may kasabayan ako or tips naman sa mga successful na nakapunta ng IDs

    May mga ganyan ang ginawa, dalawang occuaption ang pina-assess tapos archi draftsperson parin yung na-invite sa kanya. Konti lang kasi naiinvite sa interior designer.

    Yung latest kong work, interior designer ang title ko, pero halo ng interior design at archi works yung dinagawa ng company namin. Ako kasi yung gumawa ng Statement of service ko tapos pinalagyan ko lang ng letterhead at signature sa kanila kaya yung roles and responsibilities ko mejo tulad sa makikita mo sa vetassess na info sheet kasi nga ako ang nag compose.

    Yung dalawa kong work, architect ang title ko, pero ganun din, may part sa trabaho ko na nag d-draft ako. Parang isang linya lang sa roles & respinsibility ko yung nakalagay about drafting. Pero credited naman yung buong work ko na yun.

    PS. meron din palang Archi na nagpapa asses ng Civil Draftsperson at positive naman ang result.
    Meaning lang, wala sa title yung assessment nila, kung anong nakalagay sa roles & responsibilities mo, dun nakasalalay kung anong resulta ng assessment mo.

    Nominated Skill: 312111
    Target Visa: Subclass 190-OFFSHORE
    Target State: VIC/WA/NSW(got NSW invite)

    2016-2019 Always watching vids for Student pathway in Canada, Germany, New Zealand and Australia but lost interest.
    2022 Started working in SG, lost hope in SG PR. Got interested in Canada/Australia again. Working in SG was a huge factor for us pushing through because we are now confident that we can afford the cost of migration process.

    2023 April: Started researching About Australia. At first, I saw student pathway but then stumbled to some youtube videos explaining permanent residence can be applied offshore(DIY)
    2023 Oct 30: Started Collecting Documents. This took us so long because we are hesitating and overthinking about reaching out to our previous employers. We thought we should just do a statutory declaration but fortunately we talked to our friends who are also planning their migration and helped us understand that its easy to request for it.

    2024 July: I delayed getting my Vetasses in the hopes of saving the fee if my husband got the invite with low EOI score. Contunued collecting SoS from my past companies cause we realized that 10 points for skilled partner would be a huge difference because of state preference. Initially, I was looking to just submit with only 1 work experience cause my other companies are a bit hassle to deal with but thank God I went throught all the stress and collected them all cause now, I could also submit EOI as the main applicant.

    Add ko lang sa last sentence ko. Depende rin pala kung related yung degree sa sa inaapplyang occupation. Minsan kasi malayo yung degree sa occupation kaya medyo malaki yung bawas sa expi.
