Hello
I find this on ACS site
https://www.acs.org.au/migration-ski...ws-and-updates

Does it mean that I can claim all my experience means 8 years

Your ACS assessment says employment after Jan 2007 is considered skilled. For the best advice with your situation consult a MARA agent.

Hello
Thanks, I will soon meet MARA agent.

One very interesting information I find while filling EOI form

Skilled employment can also be in a closely releated occupation. Any
Periods of employment in a closely releated occupation must be undertaken
at the relevant skill level of the nominated occupation. This means employmnet the cline
t to be closely releated to the nominated occupation must be

1) in the same ANZCO unit group or
2) consistent with a plausible carrer advancement pathway

So, In my case my experience before January 2007 was
1) Software developer
2) Software engineer

and according to me they both fall in one unit group.

What do you think?

My interpretation of ACS criteria is - your employment before January 2007 is considered necessary to you being skilled - it was considered by ACS as relevant as it was used to deem you skilled. ACS view it that a fresh graduate has learned the theory of what they need to do, but not the practicalities. This comes from putting what you learn into practice - after some practice in a relevant position (2 years in your case) you are considered skilled. Once you are skilled - they look to see if the rest of your employment history is relevant - in your case, the remaining 6 years was. So you have been deemed skilled from Jan 2007 with now 6 years experience - in ACS's opinion.

How DIAC interpret skilled employment is different. Because of this your best course is to take advice from a GOOD MARA agent, or not claim those years as overclaiming points results in refusal of application

When I apply for Skill select if I fill in the Employment section gives me almost 5 Years total (based on the dates above).

What do I do with this September 2010 date stated in ACS result letter? What's this for?

Many thanks!

Threads merged as same question

The date is the time when ACS deem you skilled, and only consider the employment after this date as skilled employment. I would seek advice from a skilled MARA agent about claiming experience points.

sun23

I understand the Date is for my "skilled employment", they are saying I am less skilled than my colleague who started work at the same time as me but had the letter done before May 2013... ???

Did anyone experienced the same thing? What dates did you use for Skill Select?

Pollyana

They make a decision based on your info, its nothing to do with what experience anyone else may have.

sun23

I don't understand what you mean. They will make a decision based on the input Dates. I am asking if anyone else used the date from ASC, experiencing the same situation as mine! Is this the best advise you can give?

Pollyana

What I mean is, it doesn't matter what they have said to your colleague, they look at each application individually.

sun23

When you say "they" are you referring to ACS or DIAC or both? Have you dealt with them before re IT experience?

and
Is this the best advise you can give?

Do you realize how rude you sound? People here are giving advice at no cost to you, they are giving up their time to help and they don't get paid for it. I suggest you show some manners.

sun23

I will appreciate and I will be very grateful for any advice offered and I wish I could do the same in return. Someone jumping on the thread with statements like: "its nothing to do with what experience anyone else may have" does not help anyone in any way...

Pollyana

He/she has already been given the best advice - speak to a MARA agent, but i not they didn't bother giving any thanks for that either.Sometimes I wonder why we give up our time.....
