I have 8 years of experience as a Software Engineer and I applied for Skill Assessment and got reply from ACS (Australian Computer Society). I have
two employments, 1st from May 2005 to May 2008. 2nd from May 2008 to July 2013. So I have more than 8 years of experience which I mentioned in my
skill assessment application. In my skill assessment response, ACS wrote the following regarding my employment.
"The following employment after May 2007 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled level and relevant to 261313 (Software
Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code
Dates: 05/05 - 05/08 (3yrs 0mths)
Position : SOFTWARE ENGINEER
Date: 05/08 - 07/13 (5yrs 2mths)
SOFTWARE ENGINEER"
1. Now I wonder, can I claim points of 8 years of experience? Or DIAC will not consider first two years that ACS mentioned?
2. The years ACS didn't considered, has DIAC recently started to reject claims for the years that ACS has excluded? Or this type of claim was being
rejected before?
Below is the screenshot of my skill assessment for employment section.
Is there something I can do?
I really appreciate your expert opinion.
