Hello everyone! This is the first time I am posting a question here. In a short while I will be lodging my application for a general send visa. I am an electrical engineer and have 1.5 years experience as an engineer, full- time. Right before that I worked for 2 years at a different company as a student (part-time) in my future occupation- electrical engineer. As a student I was required to work at least 20 hours a week (and usually worked a lot more than that). In order to reach the pbutt mark I need the "work experience" points - 10 points for work experience in my occupation during 3 of the last 4 years. It seems to me that I have 3.5 years of experience.
I am counting on my experience as a student, in addition to my experience as an engineer, so I can get these 10 points.
My question is will the immigration authorities accept my work experience as a student as valid work experience? Should the document supplied by the company I worked for as a student, state that I worked 20 hours a week?
note: In the next few days I will be sending my skill buttessment application.
Thanks in advance :)
