I attended an AU migration seminar here in SG earlier this month. The agent informed us of the new rule from ACS, which only considers IT professionals to gain skills from the 4th year of his working experience. Sayang ang 5 points! I'm still in the process of securing my employment references. Mejo mahirap lang kasi ung unang company na pinagtrabahuhan ko eh closed na.
Praying that the assessment will be favorable for all of us.

May tanong lang po ako dun sa COE. May 5 years of experience na po ako as software engineer and had 3 companies na din. Kaya lang po sa nabasa ko sa document requirements sa ACS na kailangan may detailed job description at kung full time/part time yung naging work. Kaso lang po yung mga COE ko e yung mga common COE lang na ini-issue ng mga companies na stated and start/end dates tas yung title. Mahigpit po ba sila sa assesment sa COE?
Salamat po...

me and my two other friends (all of us are single by the way)..we plan to go sa oz...pare pareho kami ng skill which is software testing nasa SOL siya...ang problem is ang number of working experiences namin... ako 3.10 yrs yung isa 3 yrs and yung isa 6 yrs all related naman sa nominated skill namin as in match sila. nabasa ko naman na kasi yung description nung job code namin. i think easiest way for us is the skilled migration visa....i just want to know, possible kaya kami mahire ng companies sa oz given our number of experiences?
worried din kasi kami na if we wait a bit more baka lalo na maghigpit...ngayon ng lang sa ACS dun sa number of work experience, naghigpit na.If ever din ba na we will apply for a working visa pwede na kami? we did our own computing of points din kasi and obviously, 2 of us are gonna get zero for the work experience gawa nung 2 year deduction rule...
TIA! i'd appreciate honest answers and advices

Para di kana mag backread ito ginawa ko.... gawa ka ng COE na complete details ng job scope mo at duties then pa-pirmahan mo with your manager or someone with higher position than you (use paper with company letter head and your manager's contact details).
If ayaw pirnamahan ng bosing mo yung may letter head, just ask for your manager's business card or company id showing he is a current employee of your company. Importante na employee sya nung company mo na kukunan mo ng COE.

Curious lang po ako about assessment. Tanung ko lng po kung meron po ba ditong graduate ng PUP computer engineering?
Based po sa experience nyo, nakakuha po ba kau ng bachelors degree o diploma lang? Nasa section 2 po kasi yung PUP sa list ng schools.
Kailangan ko kasi maka bachelors degree kasi yung experience ko ay 4 years palang.
Salamat po in advance!

Please upload the following documents:
• Certified copy of detailed employer references from Employer- assessor has requested an updated reference letter within regards to dates
Each employment reference must contain:
1. Start & Finish Dates of Employment
2. Description of Duties Performed
3. Hours worked - Full time or Part time
4. Country where Employment was Completed
5. Company Letterhead and signed by the author
Please Note: the ACS is unable to accept letters of appointment, self-statutory declarations or contracts as employment references.
We will place your skills assessment on hold for an extra 30 days. If no contact is received by this period, your application will be assessed according to the existing documents.
Kind Regards,
The Skills Assessment Team

i'm assuming yung start and finish dates ko yung in question kasi, ang nilagay ko sa affidavit from my supervisor is "THAT, Miss XXXXXXXXXX has been permanently working as a full-time Senior Software Engineer from July 28, 2008 to present date" I'm still part of the company so yan yun nilagay ko. do you guys have any idea what I should put there?
thanks and looking forward for your replies.

kasi sa tingin ko, need nila ng Certificate of Employment from your employer indicating your
1. Start & Finish Dates of Employment
2. Description of Duties Performed
3. Hours worked - Full time or Part time
4. Country where Employment was Completed
5. Company Letterhead and signed by the author
If ang Certificate of Employment ay walang detailed Duties and Responsibilities, kailangan mong magpresent ng Statutory Declaration na galing sa sa Lead/Supervisor/Manager mo.
nakaindicate din dun ang Date of Employment, Fulltime or parttime, anong company, position, at ang importante sa lahat yung detailed duties and responsibilities mo.
You can refer sa ACS guidelines, page 6 regarding Statutory Declaration.

Hello po. I am assuming hindi nag bibigay ng detailed skills or complete job description yung company mo.
Sakin po kasi hindi ako nag avidafit. Sorry hindi ko rin alam format ng avidafit kaya I cannot comment. Pero what i did sa dalawang company ko na di nag bibigay ng detailed job description is ....
For Company 1 --- previous employer ko
ako ang gumawa ng COE ko.... and then I asked my team lead to read and confirm the details and let him sign. And I asked for his company ID, photo copied it and asked him to signas well (you can ask for business card / pero wala po sya nun). Since Plain paper lang po kasi ang ginamit ko kaya ako humingi nito as evidence na he is currently employed to that company. I asked him to use blue ink to sign para obvious and difference ng photo copy and original copy kapag ipa CTC ko.
For Company 2 --- current company
Same in company 1. I made my COE but used a company letterhead kaya pirma lang. Ok kami ng manager ko... pirma lang sya.
Hope this helps.
