I was thinking one can easily attach some occupation vacancies that require technical abilities not classifies as professional engineers such as construction supervisor/civil work supervisor /site supervisor for Civil engineering technologist for Tasmania 489 nomination. But going through Tasmania page tonight a stumbled upon these paragraphs where it seems they actually expect you to show employment with exact same title as nominated occupation.
In occupations with broad areas of specialisation I feel this won't work. Any ideas?

Our case is alike. Giving a shot.

My people.

In other news, i got Immi assessment commence notification yesterday oh (visa lodged 22/09/2017)

I thought that was only meant for people claiming work experience so that the will start their background checks, me I am not claiming any work points.

I just pray that it wont be long any more before the golden mail lands in Jesus name

Abi anybody knows why else they will send the commence mail instead of direct grant once one has front loaded all documents?

Cottyekundayo:

Very soon you should get the desired outcome. It's just a notification to inform you that your assessment is in progress.
Which team is processing your visa? Adelaide or Brisbane

Phlunter01:

It's Adelaide oh

jayooh:

Have u submitted the EOI yet?

A big round of applause for another 90 bander... Common, you broke its back! I am giving you a singular standing ovation of 30seconds.

Well done brother! You are exceptional, did you take mock test(s). If you did, how may please? That speaking is so on point!

I came so close recently too SLRW - 76,81,84,88 (3rd attempt. That's after several mock tests, since its our work)

Misoke:



nobody talks about the reading section oh...there are no tips for that part I suppose?

jayooh:

Which discipline?

bornlegend:


Yes bro! That is exactly the issue. It has to be same title. It is indeed very stiff.

bornlegend:


Yes bro! That is exactly the issue. It has to be same title. It is indeed very stiff. I honestly had to drop this route as apart from the title, one need to match every single JD on the duties.

jayooh:


So which route ate u looking at now?

Anatano:

@Misoke, there are several materials online.

The following tips for the reading section might also be of help:

Multiple choice single answer - understand the question, then look for d part in d passage that talks about the question. Once you find it, disregard every other part of d passage, except you really need to make reference to them for understanding sake (in most cases, you really don't need to). Then you can re-read the question and focus on that part to choose the right answer.

Multiple choice multiple answer - same strategy as above, but as you already know, there's negative marking, so if you are not 100% certain of an answer don't bother choosing it, so you can save the one you're sure of. It can really be disturbing at times, especially if you're taking 5mins and you're still on one question. A part of you wants to move on to the next question, and another tells you to see it through after spending that much time. Even if it's one you're 100%sure of, stick to your 1point and move on. There's really no time to waste.

Re-order paragraph - there’s a video on YouTube by e2language, it's a really good resource for this section. Once you grab the logic, go to wenbo.tv for practice materials. You'll get several questions to try so you can perfect the act. There are also more practise materials on YouTube. This part was my weak point in the reading section; but I knew I needed to scale it to do well, especially after my second attempt, so i did a lot of practise till I was sure I could nail it.

Fill in the blanks (dragging and drop-down) - for this section, you need to develop your collocation and grammar skills. If you've been reading wide for a long time: novels, newspapers, magazines etc across various fields, you would’ve become familiar with a lot of word combinations and inflections and you would most likely find it easier. If you're not sure how to tackle this section, practise lots of questions online. Start with the option that doesn't sound right and eliminate them till you're left with a few; you can then look at grammar to select the final choice. The trick is as you practise more and more questions you'll get a feel of what is required of you in the exam. And remember, this two categories give you the most marks in the reading section, so please save enough time for them, if they don't come first.
