Hi all,
Sorry, many questions below and mixed up with concerns.
How does CO verify past work experience, especially duties and responsibilities? I am claiming points for ICT CSO 313 312
I have claimed points only for my current work employment which is permanent, full time approx 1 year 4 months and prior to that only for 5 weeks which was temporary, contractual, for 3 months but I left early owing to look out for a full time role, where I am currently at.
Also, prior to that I worked as a Manager in India for an american MNC which had product related support for their software - will this be counted? My work experience letter does not have duties and responsibilities listed but do CO reach out to employers to verify duties and responsibilities too - I understand that they would verify title and start / end dates of employers. Also, what if the previous manager has left the company or has a bad memory to list the full list of responsibilities. My previous employers had domicile in UK (5 month tenure in India) and others were India based MNCs. Will this experience be counted or only work experience of US, UK, Canada, AU and NZ or MNCs in India is counted?
My previous jobs also had technical support as part of the duties / responsibilities while I worked in a junior position and then the teams had handles were involved in those roles - are both these responsibilities counted as work experience even if the latter was a senior role but involved managing staff involved in customer service which had 50 -60% amount of tech support?
Overall I have work experience in 16+ years but tech support more or less forms 3 to 7+ years either directly or through supervising a team.
I am worried that my commerce degree (assessed as level 7 as per NZQA) will not be counted as relevant qualification so I only have my work experience to bank on. I have my appointment letter, work experience certificate and payslips for most of these roles. My managers and colleagues are more or less in contact but I am worried about the questions they be asked to verify my employment which may jeopardize my case.
Can anyone share their thoughts on how the experience will be counted and verified?
Other than that, I am outside Auckland, have a family member as resident in NZ and my spouse completed level 8 qualification - I have mentioned all this as part of my application.
Also, another thing I wanted views on is in my office 2 people have secured their residency but surprisingly others who applied have been rejected since the CO found the role as not skilled enough. Do CO treat cases differently even though one accepted as skilled employment but others refused to accept it as skilled?
So far CO has only asked me to prove relevance of qualification with my current role and asked for payslips, etc which have been submitted.
I am worried about my chances and progress of case in terms of verifying work experience, along with my role considered as skilled or not, since some were approved but others rejected by COs.
Inputs please?
Thanks!
Famed.
