(261312 Developer Programmer) OR (261313 Software Engineer) ?
 

Re: (261312 Developer Programmer) OR (261313 Software Engineer) ?
 

Its very easy. If you have been involved in designing the project along with development in recent years then go for Software Engineer otherwise Developer/Programmer. How many years of experience do you have by the way? Software Engineer is a senior position with more work on architecture and design side. If you think you have been doing it for last couple of years then you are Software Engineer. Obviously you need to provide all this on your employment letter for assessment.

Dear Oliman,

Can't see the wisdom in doing this unless you know something about the likely processing times of a new application which is not known to the rest of us.

Cheers,

msabiransari please have a shed on my case also.

above is my career path,i have already got 2231-79 (Oracle Specialist) which is not in new SOL schedule 3 but in schedule 4.One way for me to get new assesment (reassessed) , for new assesment (reassessment) i will have to show that i am working as a software engineer or developer programmer.Though, currently i am doing as a software developer/implementer as well as as a database administrator , same i showed in my previous ACS assesment , i showed in my previous ACS assesment for the current responsibilities in declaration stamp paper , red one text are related to software development which i showed in my previous ACS assesment.

MAIN DUTIES (ORACLE):

•Regularly perform database systems management duties that include database installation, upgrades, patch implementation, configuration, and access security management, proactive monitoring and reporting, troubleshooting, and develop database control scripts and specialized software (APIs) to assist in the management of transaction processing environment.

Above is my current responsibilities which i showed the same in my previous ACS assesment,can I get new assesment as few of them in the above red one text responsibilities which i mentioned in my previous ACS assesment for 2231-79 (Oracle Specialist). I mean to say to be reassessed under a different code like Analyst programmer (261311),Developer programmer (261312),Software engineer (261313) for my case will not conflict to the accesor as i have already provided them in my previous assesment for the above red one text responsibilities.Should i go with Analyst programmer (261311),Developer programmer (261312),Software engineer (261313) for new assessment or they will not consider me cause i have title as database administrator.

@Oliman: I think your job duties and mine are almost same and we should go with 261312 - Developer Programmer. Have you finalized the ANZSCO Code for yourself yet?

Thanks..

Re: (261312 Developer Programmer) OR (261313 Software Engineer) ?
 

Yes I have finalized for "Software Engineer" as my role spans around application design and architecture as well, and "Software Engineer" seems to have more value over "Developer Programmer". Also, my designation has also been "Software Engineer" for last 4+ years.

Re: (261312 Developer Programmer) OR (261313 Software Engineer) ?
 

You have been doing lot of stuff in your job including database administration, System implementation/Process implementation, Development reviews/mentoring development teams, maintaining database and designing new database projects and etc. You got the assessment as Oracle specialist before.

Now, you need to understand that, DIAC had the categories specific to TECHNOLOGIES like Oracle specialist, SAP specialist, J2EE specialist and etc but now they have made our life simple by coming up with ROLES and RESPONSIBILITIES which sounds me more logical. They simply have categorized different roles according to type of experience. Now a person who is just writing code will be called Programmer. If someone is doing more then writing code like designing the software, mentoring or leading a team of developers or architecting a system they call him Software Engineer.

Now, it does not matter if the Programmer or Software Engineer was writing/designing code in C# or Java or even Oracle. What is important for DIAC is the WORK not TECHNOLOGY.

Whatever you have sent to ACS in your previous application is just perfect to to be sent to them again with minor changes for the assessment of Software Engineer. If I were to assess you as Software Engineer, I would definitely do it.

In my opinion, you can modify the same application and make it more generic by removing some of the technology jargon and emphasizing on your responsibilities in more detail. For example remove following,

•Implemented application security (user creation, assigning, revoking, responsibilities to users) using ATI MEDiTOP module security and control.

and add this,

Created Functional specification in order to implement applications security. Designed and documented the approved module and implemented it using ATI MEDITOP.

This way you can cover all of the steps which you do in your job. It does not conflict your previous application as well. ACS assessors are professionals and they understand what you do. Unfortunately, Software engineering is not as mature as other engineering disciplines are.
You can also provide some details about the projects you have done. The point is to show them that you was not just the Oracle guy but have been participating in the design, documenting, development and implementation of the project.

This is just my opinion based on my experience in this field. I may be wrong.

thanks mate for detail info..

wont it create confusion to ACS with my current title Database Administrator for applying Software engineer (261313)?
