I want to apply as programmer but my work experience since 2008 are Asst. Professor and University Lecturer( I use to handle computer programming subjects). Is it considered as work experience for programmer?
At present I am working here in Papua New Guinea as Lecturer handling Southern Cross University-Australia units. The company I am working with is accredited by Southern Cross University. Will it be considered as Australian work experience?
Please share your experience.

- teaching is not considered relevant to any nominated occupation..
- why dont you try for university lecturer as your nominated occupation... of course you need to check all other requirements (what type of visa/independent/ss/etc).. if you are qualified, this is not under ACS, but im assuming will be VETASSESS

Patulong naman po sa mga items na to:
1. 3/17 - National Identity Documents -> passport is considered as National Identity Document right? Wala kasi akong driver's license then ung SSS ID ko still indicates my maiden name.
2. 8/17 Usual country of residence -> I'm working here in Indonesia for 2.5 yrs already pero ung family ko that i will include in application are in Phil. Ano po ang ilagay ko na usual country of residence? Phil or Indo?
3. 15/17 Previous country of residence -> I worked in China before for 6 months, do i need to indicate it in this page? My next problem is, it was 8 years ago... i can't even remember the address. Di rin naman po siguro ako hihingan ng character requirements since this is less than 12 months.. tama po ba?
Thanks in advance!
