Subclass 189 EOI and automatic experience counter
Hello,
I went through skill assessment with the following results:
"The following employment after July 2012 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately skilled
level and relevant to 261313 (Software Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: 07/10 - 12/15 (5yrs 5mths)
Position: C++ Software Engineer
Employer: CompanyA
Country: *****"
When I was submitting EOI, there was a note about automatic counter that would increase my points from 60 to 65, if I understood correctly, at 01 July 2017, since I would have 5y relevant experience.
The thing is: I actually quit my job in CompanyA at 1 Dec 2016, and started a new job in CompanyB (Software Developer) at 15 Dec 2016.
So I have three questions regarding this (keeping in mind that automatic counter which is going to increase my points):
1. Do I need to re-assess my experience past Dec 2015 in CompanyA?
2. Given the 15 days I formally wasn't employed in Dec 2016, auto counter will increase my points at 01 July 2017, while ACS probably will count that experience only starting from 01 Jan 2017. Should I avoid selecting me before 01 Aug 2017, which may happen due to auto counter?
3. Do I need to assess my experience in CompanyB (and do this after 01 July 2017 or maybe 01 August 2017)?
