Romance / Re: Normalize Naps At Work, Would You Suggest This To Your HR ? by bellong: 9:28am On Mar 06
When I set up a company, I will have a room set up specifically for power nap. I discussed this sometimes ago with my colleagues. I told them that I will ensure every employee gets a 15 - 20 minutes nap when required daily.
There is magic in a short nap, makes you feel very refreshed and ready for another task.

HR should be the one to champion it.

Hello learned colleagues,

Please i have a question; Kindly respond if you have knowledge on it.

Can one claim employment points at the point of EOI;
1- He didn't assess employment with EA
2- The years of experience are in a different aspect other than the assessed occupation(for instance, assessed metallurgist and has sales engineering experience)

Please engineers, respond

No, you can only claim experience points for the assessed occupation not for a different occupation.

The whole Sydney and Washignton Accord debacle.

Then some one goes,, ohhh now you are in australia, all you need do is enrol for a course , then this will make your program be quiavlent to the washington accord ( 4 years degre program) ..etc . i think you get the point.

They do not tell you the huge cost implications of enroling in another program.

I reckon this is peculiar to you. A lot of engineers I know didn't have to upgrade with any programs before getting a job.

Of course, getting the first job may be challenging and it is not peculiar to engineers.

Flattery will get you everywhere, they say, but unfortunately, "everywhere" in this case doesn't include my dating pool. As much as I appreciate the offer to "mingle" and become a "useful" duo, your emoji game is a little strong for my current emotional bandwidth. It's like staring into the sun of romance, and frankly, my retinas can only handle so much sparkle.

Now, if you're offering to be my wingman and point me towards someone with a more subtle emoji vocabulary, then we might be cookin' with gas (or should I say, "fire" with the appropriate emoji?). But otherwise, I'm afraid I'll have to politely decline your invitation to become the next Bonnie and Clyde... of awkward online flirting.

But hey, don't let me discourage you! There's a whole world of potential partners out there, each with their own unique emoji style. Just remember, sometimes less is more, and a well-placed wink can be far more effective than a double chin emoji.

Good luck on your quest for love, emoji warrior! ⚔️

In summary, his choice of emoji gave you insight to his personality right? I am interested to know the psychology tool you used to understand his personality.

You write well though with a subtle dose of good humour.

That's a lie

I know a guy with schizophrenia that's doing well more than the average dude

I think your opinion stems from the believe that people living with mental illness cannot live a normal life. It is ignorance to believe the lie.

DSM-V classified schizophrenia as a serious mental illness. People with mental illness can still live a normal life with support from behavioural therapy, anti-psychotic medications and other therapy methods.
Yes, people with schizophrenia can live well and still contribute to the society. Professor John Nash, a Nobel laurette in Mathematics is a classic example.


@OP, the loss of loved ones is very painful particularly those who have made significant impact in our lives. The good memories we have of them and the great life they lived help to alleviate the pain.

Happy to hear that your brother got the help he needed and didn't develop a treatment resistant schizophrenia.
It is well with you all.

Good day everyone, I just finished reading the first 25 pages of this thread after checking page 0.
My ANZSCO code is 233211- Civil Engineer
I have 8 years experience, entered Civil Service as Civil Engr II and I am presently a SNR Civil Engr.
I observed ANZSCO code 312113 describes what I do presently in Civil Service.
I am 32years old
I am yet to do Language Test, will be doing it soon.

I understand that EA is the assessing body.

My challenge is; How do I go about the CDR? I’d really appreciate if there’s anyone that can put me through.


Also, My husband is 34yrs and he studied Geology. He had experience in Customer relations and he’s presently doing a Data Analysis program.

Please who stands a better position in the application?

Cc tunlex01 and other gurus in the house.

The civil engineer stands a better chance. Your husband can write the English test to increase your points.

If you visit EA's website, you will find template to write your CDR

What occupation are you assessing with acs? How many years of work experience do you have as at today? What is your points score 65, 70, 75, 80, 85, 90, 95 or 100?

189 nomination was cool towards the end of last year and sometimes at the first quarter of this year. No one knows what it will become later this year. Because at those times I mentioned, 65 above got nomination on 189. But I must tell you IT occupations are super competitive and very hard to get nomination these days especially for Skill Level 1 IT occupations.
Some people like my self had to go through Trade recognition Australia to assess as ICT Technician nec 313199 even after waiting for 2yrs at 80pts as System analyst (skill level one occupation) between 2021/2023.
But the moment I opt for trade occupation, in just 7days I got nomination from NSW for 190 @ 85 points.

I am not trying to discourage you about 189, but to have plan B should the 189 becomes tough again. You can as well create EOI for all visa subclass one for each for each state.

There are a lot of Indians who has got beautiful IT work experience, studied here, got 90+ points but unfortunately, they are not getting invite on 189 or even 190. Some state are stringent with 190 while others do not. NSW and ACT are liberal with 190, but not SA, WA, and NT as well as QLD.

So, please work around creating EOI for 491 as well. This visa class is not bad. Some people who go about talking down on it simply do not have one.

Note: I am onshore and still studying at a uni.

All the best.

If I can be referred to where I can get sample CDR cos I surffed the internet, couldn't get any.

If you look for a trade occupation that aligns, it will be better. Quicker invitation especially if it is an in-demand occupation.

Hello House,

I would like to submit my CDR + Experience assessment for a chemical engineering role to Engineers Australia.

The problem is that the job designation in my employment letter and payslips does not match with the Chemical Engineering Profession.
designation in my offer letter and payslips is Procurement Engineer (Production/Process) while my job experience for 5 years is Process Engineer (Which is also a chemical engineer). I was given the role of chemical engineer in the procurement Dept without changing the designation in my payslips and offer letter for about 5 years now. Please how can I claim the 5 years of experience, please how do i clarified to EA regarding my chemical engineering experience? Are there any documents I can use to replace the Offer letter & Payslips?

Please someone with experience should help and respond to my questions


Offer letter is not compulsory. What you need is letter from your employer showing you work there, your job descriptions and salary. I think there is a template somewhere on this thread or previous one.

For your payslip, you can use bank statement, tax clearance and pension statement

Hello @Bellong,
I need some opinions from you and anyone who may have been on this situation before.
I am currently in my 3rd semester for my master degree program here in NSW, I have a family of 3 back in Naija. I haven't been able to apply for subsequent entrant visa for them because of pof.
However, in Feb this year I got nominated for 491 and have since submitted the visa including my family (wife and 2children). But you know how they treat 491 visa application especially if they are not medical occupation. It can take forever with them. Terrible bad to know that they accepted huge visa fees but will never attend to your visa application.
Now, I have secured the funds to commence the subsequent entrant visa for my family. I have started it already but I have some fears regarding how to explain the aspect of our 491 visa application in her GTE statement considering the fact that this subsequent entrant visa subclass 500 is a temporary visa. Now we have indicated that we want to migrate to Australia since we have earlier submitted 491.

What do I do from here please? Anyone have been in this situation before? Please help.

The two visas are handled by two different units. One in South Africa and the other in Australia.

As you have shown that you want to remain for the long term, it will be hard convincing those in South Africa that you are on GTE. Notwithstanding, it can still be done.

One of the things people do is to include yourself in the application which will cancel your original visa and issue a bridging visa till it is determined. If done that way, the application is treated locally and decision will hsve right of appeal. However, it cannot be done in your case because you already have an ongoing 491. If you do it, your 491 becomes invalid, from knowledge, you cannot make two applications as the principal applicant at the same time (things might have changed).

I will encourage you to let them understand for the purpose of the subsequent entrant, you need to see your family after long time. Put in the connection your wife still has with Nigeria e.g her job, landed property etc.

Goodluck

The total payment for EA is $1848

Can someone help with the above or can I get an agent to help? 🙏

First check if the job descriptions of management consultant aligns with your experience. If it does, then it is a good option.

Secondly, is management consultant sponsored by any state? For any occupation you choose, you need options from states too for higher chance.

Thirdly, i can see you have had stint in human resources, you can nominate HR manager if management consultant doesn't work, depending on the cooperation of your company.

Hope this help?
