Job Title-EOI

[saleshnid]

Hi, I am tring to fill in the EOI and i am kind of stuck with the work experience. I have complted my BA from USP majors Economics and IT in April 2007. After tht I joined a construction co. and worked as a pay clerk. THis year in October, I joined a law firm and using MYOB to enter information. In EOI, it is asking for the type of job so which one will match the best with my qualification n experience. I got two in my head: computer operator clerk of works. Do u think the job I am doing at present matches with my qualification and am I entitled to claim a point for the job experience. I would really appreciate ur help.
Thanks.

It probably wouldn't be 'clerk of the works.' A CotW is usually a person at a construction site whose job it is to represent the architect or engineer, and thus represent the interests of the entity for whom the construction is being carried out. They ensure that the work is being done 'to spec.'

This is very different from payroll clerk or the like.

Whatever title you go for, you do need to have a minimum of 2 years work experience before you can claim points for it and, of course, it should be closely related to your qualification.
