MattMax Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Hi guys, Kinda New to this forum. Anyway, I'm about to start my own business as an independent Civil Engineering Draft Person. So I'm wondering if I can get work experiences from this to apply in 189 or 489? FYI, I graduated and this skill is in SOL list. Thanks in Advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VERYSTORMY Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 Yes, but keep very detailed records Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karstedt Posted October 28, 2018 Share Posted October 28, 2018 VERY detailed... and make sure you can show it is full-time... e.g. 33 hours per week for year will likely be counted as 0.5 yrs xp.... and possibly rounded down to 0 yrs xp.

Thanks for replying. I don't really get it when u said it only counts as 0.5 years. Also, what if I don't charge them per hour and/or hiring someone to do the works for me?

Basically they will reduce your claimed experience in every possible way, and even falling 4 days short of 1 year means you may not get credit for 1 year of experience.\ Depending on how your company is structured (up to you tp research), you have to find some way to record yourself as working full time. E.g. if you are an LLC you may want to salary yourself as a full time employee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I'm gonna choose to be a sole trader (only me as the owner), so do you have any more examples on how to record my working hours? Sorry, I'm kinda new to business here.

So you are already in Australia? What visa are you on currently? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
