Regarding Career Episode na nabanggit mo, so kung merong galing sa jobB ko, kailangan ko mag-provide ng supporting docs (e.g. detailed COE from CompanyB, etc), pero yung companyB ko is hindi pwedeng isama for Skilled Employment Assessment.. si CompanyA lang ang pwede... Tama?
Thanks thanks!!

pwede isama both... basta may documents ka...
yung 3 yrs na sinasabi nila is MINIMUM TOTAL work exp assessment for the "additional service for work experience to claim points"..
Note: magkaiba ang skills assessment (it will be based on your CDR/career episode) versus yung additional service sa work experience..Kaya magkaiba rin ang bayad nila..
a) yung standard skills assessment - it will be based on your CDR/career episode, at wlang tinitingnang minimum work exp dito.. ang importante mademonstrate mo yung skills required
b) yung additional service sa work experience - ay titingnan kung ang lahat ng work exp mo ay relevant sa nominated occupation, so you can claim points.. at para maka-claim ng points, you need to have ATLEAST 3 YEARS CUMULATIVE work experience (kahit isa or ilang company pa yan)
----------------------------------------
so in your case:
sa A) standard skills assessment - kung anung career episodes mo, kailangan mong magprovide ng COE+job desc sa job na yun..
about yung additional service sa work experience,
- kung gusto mo isama both, walang problema...
- kung gusto mo Job A lang, okay lang din kasi 8 yrs ka naman dun (you can claim max 15pts)
- kung job B lang, hindi ka makakuha ng points ( kasi less than 3yrs un)
so if you decided to include both.. your assessment will be something like this;
a) skills assessment - positive; education - comparable to AU degree ( or AU diploma)
b) work exp - Job A (8yrs) + job B (2 yrs) = 10 yrs assessed as relevant to nominated occupation

Also, yung mga CEs mo are a test of your communication skills as well. You should DESCRIBE what you did. Para kang nagke-kwento... kaya copy and paste is not a good idea.

I'm planning to change my nominated occupation from Telecommunications Engineer to Field Telecommunications Engineer kasi konti nalang po ang slot for Telecommunications Engineer for this year. What I noticed is that for Field telecommunications engineer ang requirement lang po nila is 3 year technical diploma at hindi degree holder. Makaka apekto po ba to sa Educational points ko, noting na degree holder naman ako? Base po ksi sa points for educational qualifications nila bachelor degree will have 15 points at 10 points naman for trade qualification. I tried to call EA but they referred me to DIAC, unfortunately tinatawagan ko rin po ang DIAC pero end up hanging up the phone sa tagal ng paghihintay.
Maraming salamat po.
