My question exactly - I've had a look at this and it is hard to know whether my details are loaded or not. I didn't receive an email tellling me I was added (sent 14 months ago)

Some have a lot of information and therefore more useful. How do I get the database altered?

Secondly is there a point? Has anyone ever been contacted via this database? (ASCO 111211 - general manager)
Any ideas

Someone mentioned here that he saw "his" CV on the database. I believe it's extremely difficult for anyone to spot his/her own CV on that database given the fact that the database leaves out basic identification information.

Unless, of course, you have only one match for your ASCO code or if your qualification is so unique that you're sure no one else has it! Perhaps if you have multiple PhD's in English language, Quantum Physics and Military History or something to that effect.

your right ptlabs the database could be 1-2 years out of date, and how many times will they go on line and up date the skills database ?.
plus how many aussie bosses would actually surf that website nilpwar i think.
on a lighter note ptlabs, sounds like where you should send a duff sports person to get checked out why their no good at sports. ha ha.

yours tipper.

Dear Friends,

I had written before also about this matter.

I would like to clarify my case. Yes it is true it is difficult to spot your CV from the list. There might be a number of CVs. In my case there were about 40 CVs. But I found it was fun to browse the CVs and luckily found mine. Although no name is mentioned there except Internet ID, I could easily recognise my CV based upon the current designation, experience and qualifications mentioned.

I do not know exactly how much it is useful to be listed in the web page. I meet the current passmarks and am not much excited on this. But I would like to only deduce from it that they have accepted me as fulfilling the basic requirements.

Cheers,
Gokul

My understanding is that about 200 to 300 skill matching applicants per year
are successful for the whole of Australia. The figure could be less than
that.

DIMIA make a lot of noise about it, but there isn't much action.

Being on the skills matching database does not mean that you have satisfied the basic requirements. If you read the criteria for a skills matching visa, you will notice that it has a less demanding work experience requirement - so being on the skills matching database does not mean that you have satisfied the basic requirement, actually.

Like I said earlier, I have no idea why people prefer to over-analyze each communication that they receive from Australia.

May I ask where did you get these figures?

Jaj

Those applying for Skilled Independent get considered for STNI
(subclass 137), not a skill matching visa (subclass 134). While the
basic requirements are lower for skill matching, STNI has the same
basic requirements as skilled independent, plus the requirement for a
points score of 70.

Yes you may. I have done my CPD points this weekend, and was informed this
was the case by the instructor. The Skills Matching visas are reported with
the RSMS visas in the DIMIA statistics, and total RSMS visas were just over
1000 of which a fairly small proportion are skill matching. I asked if we
could get any more detail than this, as I would like to know the success
rate, but apparantly that is about as close as we can get.

It would seem that at the moment the onshore student sub-class of visa has
been filling about 50% of the total skilled professional visas according to
"Migration Professional Education" run by Lorenzo Boccabella and Bruce
Harvey from Brisbane. I have no reason to doubt their figures as they
appear to be at the cutting edge.

Regards
