*** before submitting EOI ***
First of all want to say Hi to everyone as this is my first post. Before I decided to post a new thread I went through most of the posts that could be helpful, yet haven't found all the answers that could be useful in my case.
Im about to decide soon if I should submit and EOI but Im not certain in some cases. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on those. I hope that could be helpful for others as well.
My points for EOI (according to... myself) is 150 without a job offer, with following doubts:
1. Long term skill shortage list - occupational group in my case would be Finance/Business, occupation Procurement Manager.
Requirements: One of the following qualifications:
- Master of Logistics and Supply Chain Management (NZQF Level 9)
- Postgraduate Diploma in Logistic and Supply Chain Management (NZQF Level 8)
- Bachelor of Science (Logistics and Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
- Bachelor of Management (Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
- Bachelor of Electronic Commerce (Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
AND
a minimum of five years’ relevant work experience
Bonus points requrements:
One of the following qualifications:
- Master of Logistics and Supply Chain Management (NZQF Level 9)
- Postgraduate Diploma in Logistics and Supply Chain Management (NZQF Level 8)
- Bachelor of Science (Logistics and Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
- Bachelor of Management (Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
- Bachelor of Electronic Commerce (Supply Chain Management) (NZQF Level 7)
AND
a minimum of five years’ relevant work experience
My degrees are
2008 Bachelor's degree of Logistic with specialization Logistic of enterprise companies
2010 Master's degree of Management, with specialization Logistic Manager
so first question is would any of my degrees be relevant? Or is it realitve and up to CO? Supply Chain Management was a great part of my studies programme, but again it's not mentioned in the official name of any degree I gained. Have anyone had simmilar dilemma?
Question number 2 is about "relevant experience" mentioned as a requirement (5 years in my case). Now is it directly relevant to the occupation claimed, or should they be relevant to the degree itself? Some might say it's same thing, but I know in some fields it might be very tricky.
As example my work experience in logistic & purchasing department is:
2 as planning assistant
3 as planning specialist
and 3 as production manager.
Directly as a purchasing manager (equal to procurement according to ANZSCO) only 2 years.
Would anybody chance his arm telling me if that states for 5 years relevant work experience, or should I better be well prepared to defend/prove it?
I appreciate any kind of feedback, just to give me at least rough idea am I waisting my time thinking about submitting EOI as a principal applicant.
