Hi all

DIMIA state that recent/specific work experience can be from any
occupation listed on the SOL.

Is it acceptable for the periods of experience (12/18 months and
3/4 years) to be made up of experience from more than one
occupation on the SOL?

E.g 2 years from one occupation and 1 year from another or 6 months from
1 occupation and 6 months from another.

Any help appreciated .:thumbup:

Thank you

Hey Omiagaj,

I think you can do that. That's what I'm planning to do anyway.
The requirement does say "working in any occupation on the SOL" so I
guess it doesn't matter whether it is from a set of different occupation
as long as those occupations are on the SOL.

I might be wrong though.......:unsure:

Cheers,
yogi

Yes, it is any occupation from the SOL for recent work experience and
specific work experience.

But it has to be exactly the requirement or more, if you're missing even
a day you won't get the points.

In some circumstances the experience must be "closely related" to
nominated occupation, if 10 points for work experience is needed.

Also - especially when experience is being claimed in a "different" SOL
occupation, make sure it is really skilled and not in a related semi
skilled or clerical occupation. Because DIMA *will* look at this
(carefully).

Hey All,

I'm getting worried with my situation after reading JAJ information.
How do I know whether a job is skilled, related semi skilled or
clerical?

I'm nominating myself as an Accountant and already have a positive
skill assessment.
My current work experience to date is 10 months as an ERP
Consultant handling COst Accounting module (Computer Professional
- NEC).
Before this, I was off work for 3 months and right before that I
have a 9 months work experience as an advertising Account
Executive which I found also to be in the SOL (Advertising
Specialist).
So from my understanding of the recent work experience
requirement, I have fulfil 12 in the last 18 months working in any
occupation on the SOL.

I was going to wait a couple of month until I have 12 months experience
before I lodge my Application
but recently I've been thinking to lodge in ASAP just in case Accountant
is off MODL soon or the new TR before PR issue come true.

After JAJ info I'm getting worried whether I'm actually eligible or not
to lodge in application asap.
You guys reckon I'm eligible to lodge in ASAP or i better just wait for
a few more months to get 12 months experience in my current job?
