An employment reference letter is an integral part of an RPL ACS skill<\/strong> assessment report. It is a medium that can help you show your professional journey with details. The better your professional life description is, the more convenient it will be for ACS to evaluate your competency. In short, your employment reference letter can put your whole professional life before the assessing authority with every detail necessary. So, it deserves a considerable amount of attention from your side for a positive ACS Australia Assessment<\/strong><\/a> application. It helps the authority to assess you properly and help you for writing your professional life in perfect and systematic order. It benefits both sides.<\/p>\n However, many candidates don\u2019t give the employment reference letter the attention it deserves, which comes up as an obstacle for their immigration to Australia and working there as an ICT professional.<\/p>\n After evaluating hundreds of ACS RPL reports on our own, we have found some mistakes. These mistakes can be avoided if you take some precautions. Therefore, we have written this article intending to familiarize you with the key points when writing an employment reference letter for the RPL ACS skill<\/strong> assessment. So, read them one by one for a clear understanding.<\/p>\n There is a standard writing date format in the employment reference letter. It is DD\/MM\/YY, which means data first, month in the middle, and year in the last. So, don\u2019t forget this point.<\/p>\n You must show your work experience mentioning your starting and end date in this format. However, in case of being currently employed, you are advised to write \u2018To date\u2019. It will make clear that the date of writing a reference letter is the maximum date of the work experience.<\/p>\n It\u2019s wise to mention as many employment tasks as possible in your employment reference letter to hit the bull\u2019s eye and impress the ACS authority. However, you must keep in mind that the task you choose has to be relevant to the ANZSCO occupation list job you chose. It must show your competency for the position you have selected.<\/p>\n It is a must that 65% of your job description of the assigned employment task in your letter has to be relevant to the chosen job role. So, you must provide a detailed description of them for assessment. If you show carelessness or mistakes here, then you will prepare an improper RPL report.<\/p>\n The below example will make it clear: if you have experience of working as a specialist in ICT Security 262112<\/strong><\/a>, then you must have the responsibilities given below that are the most important ones out of others:<\/p>\n Many candidates make the mistake of showing their work experience that is done along with the qualification. In such a case, your employment experience will not be accepted by the ANZSCO authority, and they will not deem your employment as \u2018Skilled employment\u2019. This experience will be considered as \u2018Concurrent employment\u2019 in your RPL ACS skill<\/strong> assessment.<\/p>\n Your skills and performance can\u2019t be clearly described unless you include specified information in every reference. This information has to be approved by your employer. Therefore, proper and detailed information about your skills and performance level in your professional field is a must. If you are unable to provide so, then your RPL Report will be considered below the expected quality, which will lead to rejection.<\/p>\n Your employment reference letter is invalid unless it is signed by your employer. So, you must get it signed to prove the genuineness of your RPL report. It means the employment authority or employer approves the information laid down in the report to be real. We think so far, you must have understood the value of signature in such official reports or documents.<\/p>\n You should read the report properly before you get it signed by the authority to make sure that your name, contact details, reference and designation, and the position of the signing authority are mentioned in your report.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n It is a must for the candidate to get their employment reference letter certified for its value and authenticity. Your letter must be certified by an authorized notary.<\/p>\n Without certification, your RPL report will be taken as an improper one, which will result in rejection. It is one of the most important points to be taken into account because the certified copy of your employment reference letter will be taken as the assessment of your ACS skill.<\/p>\n1.
