    Keep in mind that an Immigration Officer's assessment of skilled employment is not limited to the wording of a job description - they should be taking into account the nature and context of the employment and undertaking verification checks to find out what an application really does in their job on a day to day basis, and whether this matches the selected ANZSCO description. It's possible that an Immigration Officer may find another ANZSCO code which more closely matches a job in an application in their caseload - not always the case and not guaranteed, but possible.
