My Ogas in the house.... I hail o
Pls I need clarification as regards this VATESSES assessment, I studied mass communication (Bsc) public relations (Mac) and I don't have any work experience and I'm not planning to claim points for that though, my question is, will I be assessed without any work experience?
This is what I read on their website .............................................................

""Journalists and Other Writers nec (ANZSCO Code 212499)

This occupation requires a qualification which is assessed as comparable to the educational level of an AQF Bachelor degree or higher degree, in a field highly relevant to the nominated occupation.


In addition to this, applicants must have at least one year of post-qualification employment at an appropriate skill level completed in the last five years which is highly relevant to the nominated occupation. If employment is not post-qualification, then five additional years of highly relevant employment are required.


If the degree is not in a highly relevant field, three years of employment at an appropriate skill level completed in the last five years in a field which is highly relevant to the nominated occupation is required. This is reduced to two years if there is an additional qualification at least at AQF Diploma level in a highly relevant field.


A positive assessment of both qualifications and employment is required for a positive Skills Assessment Outcome.

nec means “not elsewhere classified”
