Two company's have ceased trading and the other has changed names loads of times but have not kept details of my employment when i was there and are very reluctlant to help.
So would TRA accept one years city and guilds certification plus the last seven and a half years detailed references from my previous employer and three stat decs regarding all other employers?
Please advise! there must have been others in the same situation!!!
Thanks

Re: TRA and stat decs
Hi Gary,
What i have done is written down everything that i did in the job, what tools i used, how i used them, what drawings etc, then contacted my ex employers and sent them what i have written down to them to read, check and to put on headed paper and sign.
The more detail that you can put down, the better.
Hope it helps
Rob

"Just down the road" would be the 14 hour trip on the Sturt Highway to Canberra, where TRA are :-)

All of your services/things made etc
Duties in the job other than your job, making brews, banking ,stock, whatever/everything

If its closed down staty decs witnessed in front of sol,jp,notary detailing all of the above and as much info as you can give.
hope this helps.
pm me if you need an email of any of these and you can buy them via paypal for £3 each for templates of stat decs,c.v. employer refs, as i had to shell out £3000 and want to help as well as get some bloody money back!!
hope these help anyway, and dont call me a miser, these things are like hens teeth for the applicants who arent using an agent.
