Hello, I will be going into discussions with my manager soon about the possibility of sponsorship for my position as a project administrator in a job I have in Australia under a working holiday visa. I have done some research and I have doubts that I'm eligible for the 457 visa due to lack of experience/qualifications. I want to know whether I should rule it out completely or whether I still have hope. I have the following experience and qualifications: Modern History BA degree 2010-2013 (UK) IT project administration 2013-14 (eight months employment in the UK) Social Policy and Social Research MSc 2014-15 (one year course in the UK) Executive search project administration (current job, 4 months in) The requirements to pass the VETASSESS are: "If the qualification is not in a highly relevant field, two years of highly relevant employment at an appropriate skills level, completed within the last five years is required. This is reduced to one year if there is an additional qualification at least at AQF Certificate IV level in a highly relevant field". As I only have one year of highly relevant experience and no highly relevant qualifications to date, would VETASSESS be at all flexible and take into account that I have two valuable qualifications albeit not highly relevant to my profession? If not would it be worth considering taking a PRINCE2 project management qualification to improve my chances? Grateful for any advice.
