Hi,
I got a few questions about the Skills Assessment document submission.
I am working in Australia for 2 years on visa 457, ANZSCO 261313 (Software Engineer) and I plan to apply for PR (visa 186). I am going to get my Skills Assessment first and preparing my documents now. I was working as a Software Engineer for 16 years in total and managed to collect reference letters with payment evidence covering about 7 years of this experience for the Skills Assessment. The rest of it (2009-2016) I was traveling and freelancing and could not collect enough payment evidence, and in most cases reference letters too. However, 7 years' experience seems to be enough for a positive outcome as per https://www.acs.org.au/content/dam/acs/acs-skills/SkillsAssessmentGuidelinesforApplicants.pdf if my University diploma is assessed as a Bachelor's or higher.
Questions:
Should I mention the experience without reference letters/payment evidence in my application
Should I mention this experience in the Resume/Curriculum Vitae
Is there a standard/preferred form of Resume/Curriculum Vitae for Skills Assessment
Any information on these regards is highly appreciated. Thanks!
