Toinette Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Hi, I would like like to know if there is anyone that did the Electronic Equipment Trades Worker (342313) technical interview that is actually in the photocopier industry? My husband is a photocopier service technician and must do his technical interview on the 11th, i just need to know how do you do the interview if none of the below is part of his job description.

VERYSTORMY Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Then it is possible this doesn't meet his skills and he could fail the assessment. Have you taken professional advice on this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausvisitor Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 It looks like you've applied in a closely related anzsco code but this seems more relevant Business Machine Mechanic –ANZSCO 342311. Installs, maintains and repairs electronic business equipment such as multi-function devices, photocopiers, scanners, fax machines and cash registers. I'm guessing though as 342311 isn't on the 189 list and is only available on the 190 for one state you've tried to massage his skills into the 342313 job code which is much more in demand.

Toinette Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 That is correct, the agent applied for the skill closest to his occupation. I just need to know if this happened before and if its still possible for him to pass his Technical interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinette Posted April 4, 2019 Author Share Posted April 4, 2019 this is the reply from the agent when i told him none of the items on the list that he will be questioned about in the technical interview relates to his occupation. "In Eben’s Technical interview Vetassess will be asking questions that align with the items in the attached Fact Sheet related to Eben’s occupation. Vetassess only invite those to the technical interview once they have passed the stage one pathway. The purpose of the stage one is to confirm the candidate has been working in the occupation claimed – Vetassess believe this to be the case. I can only advise that Eben attends the interview and hopefully does well. The only other alternative would be to cancel the interview and then request a refund – I am not confident that the refund would be granted. Please let me know your thoughts.?

kalindd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hi Toinette, How did your husband go with the interview? I'm very much in the same situation. I'm photocopier tech with 17 years of experiences and would like to try the assessment for Electronic Equipment Trades Worker (342313) since it is more on demand, compared with 342311. Did he pass the interview? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinette Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 Hi, unfortunately he didn't pass the Technical interview, we didn't know that the technical interview wont be about printers we were under the impression that it will be all about printers till about a week before the interview. They ask everything based on electronics except for printers. I have a list of what you require for the technical interview. He can now reapply to take the technical interview on the points that he failed, but its difficult to get info on what exactly he must study now to make sure he pass the interview. When are you doing the technical interview? Regards Toinette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalindd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I'm sorry to hear that. I applied for 342311 with TRA earlier this month and I'm waiting for the outcome. Problem, as you probably know, is that 342311 is only on South Australia's list for 190 or 489 visa. But I was really interested if your husband succeeded with the other code. Because this would have been a good option for me too. For 342313 there is 189 visa and 190 for NSW. Did your husband do assessment for 342311 at all? Regards, K.

Toinette Posted May 27, 2019 Author Share Posted May 27, 2019 if you apply through TRA for 342311 who does the technical interview then? Our agent said we cant apply for 342311 because my husband does not have the necessary qualification for it. He started this when he left school and only A+ was required back then. What qualification do you have? Are you doing everything yourself or going through an agent? We don`t want 190 or 489 we want PR from the beginning just makes everything so much easier. Its difficult to get a sponsorship for a photocopier technician no one does sponsors in this field. Where are you from and when are you guys planning on moving to Australia?

kalindd Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 I really don't know if there will be or who does a technical interview. I have Bachelor degree in engineering physics with sub qualification in electronics and communication. I have no idea if it will be relevant to the one TRA wants, but that's all I have I'm doing everything by myself. 190 is PR visa with full rights. Even though you are sponsored by a State, there is no legal document that bond you to that state. You have a moral obligation not legal one. There are tons of discussions over the internet about this. I'm from Bulgaria. If I can say it like this -first things first - if I get a successful skills assessment then I need the nomination and so on. So far no plans.

States are now having visas cancelled if applicants do no meet their "moral" obligation. I would strongly recommend you assume you are committed to the state. I also recommend everyone should use a registered migration agent. A skills assessment does not guarantee a visa. Far from it. Only two weeks ago we had a member with a positive skills assessment refused. I have Sen this over my year on the forum more times than I can count. In every case, a agent would have prevented the refusal. A refusal in not just loss of fee, but potentially even a ban on reapplying Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I wanted to say is that people who apply for 190 should not be afraid of being "locked" to this state. If they find it difficult to get a job, they should seek a release letter from that state and most likely (not always) will get one. I'm not talking about someone that deliberately cheated the system to get a visa. I'm well aware that skills assessment does not guarantee you a visa. It is just the start of the visa process. Can you share the reasons for those refusals? Thank you. Edited May 27, 2019 by kalindd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausvisitor Posted May 27, 2019 Share Posted May 27, 2019 Worth remembering that the moral obligation is only 2 years, given most have waited 2 years in the queue anyway a further 2 years in the Aussie warmth getting real experience of the lifestyle in a slightly less than preferred location isn't such a bad thing, is it?

Regards if you have a sub qualification in Electronics and communication then you should`ve applied for Anzsco 342313 Electronics Equipment Trades Worker i`m sure you will pass that with ease. Below is unit codes in each section they ask in the Technical interview, but unfortunately there is no study material for this to prepare for the Technical interview. I`ve researched and send mails asking for study material for this but no one can help me. They all say you have to go and study in order to get the study material and my husband cant go and study because he must retake the technical interview in about 10 months.

Ausvisitor Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I'm pretty sure that's what the posters partner did apply for, and didn't get so it apparently isn't as easy to get as you suppose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalindd Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Hi Toinette, Thanks so much for that info. You are right, in theory I should get positive assessment even for 342313. But I decided to play it safe. Even if they don't accept my degree, they should consider my experience which is all from very reputable multinational companies in that business area. I was even employed in Australia for 2 year with 457 under the same code 342311. On top of that I turn 40 in 4 months time and I will loose 10 points for age. That's why I decided to play it safe and apply for 342311. I just hope for the best. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toinette Posted October 29, 2019 Author Share Posted October 29, 2019 Hi Azooz, No he didn't attempt the technical interview again after he failed it the 1st time. He actually went and got his Electrical red seal certificate, so now we can apply for skills assessment for the right occupation and he doesn't have to do a technical interview again he will only be assessed with his paperwork and years working experience.

My application for skill assessment was unsuccessful. Reason: Qualification not relevant. Experience can not substitute formal qualification. So even though I had two 457 visas under 342311 code, I am not qualified to immigrate as a professional under 342311. Funny isn't it Good luck everyone.

Silzemar Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Hey, how are you guys? How was that? Did you guys get success? I will go through this process soon, but I am really concerned after reading the comments and feedback on who did this. I have around 7 years of experience working in SMT. Surface Mount Technology. Doing maintenance, programming SMT machines and looking after the production processes. I would like some help with preparation, advice, tips about what to study exactly. If someone can help me I would be thankful! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
