But applicant sometimes really confused what he/she/3rdsex could claim in EOI...
Confusion point is 'How to define the 'Skilled employment'?
Applicant dont know cause he/she/3rdsex could not find a clear answer from DIAC website as you mentioned.
And applicant could not always follow what Assessing bodie's advice for 'skilled employment' either.
For example, esepcially when applicant had full-time paid work experiences before the formal qualification, Assessing body(For example ACS) would count those Prior-degree experiences as well and give the 'skilled employment' date before the date of competion of qualification.
But we heard that DIAC might only count the work experience which is post-degree experiences or 5 years substitute of formal qualification, so if applicant just follow what Assessing body's advice as to claim the skilled employment start date before the qualification or degree, they might also be rejected by DIAC.
So what to do then, seems applicant need firstly understand how DIAC mostly do lets say they count experience only after degree, then look whether assesing body's advice if met this condition, then decide what to claim in EOI.
