Got ACS result today; confused about splitting 2 jobs into 3 periods

[mcgyver]

Hello Everyone,

 

 

I have received a positive assessment result from ACS today (26-Nov-2013), for which I applied on 28-Aug-2013. Basically, ACS deducted 4 years from my total experience. Below are the excerpts from the PDF file.

 

Your Bachelor in Applied Science Computer Engineering has been assessed as comparable to an AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing. The following employment after December 2008 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.

 

Dates: Dec/04 - Jun/07 (2yrs 6mths)

Position: Engineer1

Employer: Company1

Dates: Jun/07 - Aug/13 (6yrs 2mths)

Position: Engineer2

Employer: Company2

 

Since these dates do not include specific days, but months, are the months inclusive? I mean to ask whether I may claim points from December-2008 or January-2009. If January-2009, then I will have to wait until Jan-2014 before I get full 5 years of "skilled" employment.

 

 

If I am correct, I think I have to distribute my 2 jobs in 3 distinct periods, as below. But I am very much confused about splitting my current job. I marked the spots of confusion with ????. I do not want to leave any gaps since EOI asks for dates down to the specific days, not months.

 

 

Job: Engineer1

Employer: Company1

Start date: Dec, 2004 (actual: 6-Dec-2004)

End date: Jun, 2007 (actual: 2-Jun-2007)

Is this employment related to the nominated occupation? No

 

 

Job: Engineer2

Employer: Company2

Start date: Jun, 2007 (actual: 3-Jun-2007)

End date: Dec, 2008 (actual: ????)

Is this employment related to the nominated occupation? No

 

 

Job: Engineer2

Employer: Company2

Start date: Dec, 2008 (actual: ????)

End date: Dec, 2013 or Jan, 2014 ????

Is this employment related to the nominated occupation? Yes

 

 

Kindly help me with filling up the ???? spots. Thanks.
