The one job duty I highlighted is exactly the same words from one of the NOC main duties. Is this going to be a problem? Do you think the reference letter is good enough for the duties? Thank you very much!

So you're going to mention just the above duties you mentioned?

So you're going to mention just the above duties you mentioned?

I talked to the HR and they just added 2 more duties and made it into bullet point form.
So there are 7 duties and matches 6 main duties of the NOC 1241 list.

 

[blueshark]

I have heard that the duties should match 60-70 % from the duties mentioned by CIC.
Just make sure to go through NOC 1411 Which is of NOC level C.. both NOC 1241 and NOC 1411 duties are very similar.

Wow, tbh the NOC 1411 is really similar to NOC 1241. I noticed that although the duties are similar, the NOC 1241 has used "verbs" that require higher skills level, such as "Proofreading and edit" instead of "preparing" reports etc., "set up and maintain" instead of "Sort and file" filing systems.
Sigh, I think I am trapped in the middle and I don't know what to do about it. My job duties are now:

• Drafting and proofreading documents, reports and correspondence
• Write and distribute email, correspondence memos, faxes and forms
• Maintain and establish manual and computerized information filing systems
• Photocopy and organize documents for distribution, mailing and filing
• Assist in the preparation of regularly scheduled reports
• Provides information by answering electronic inquiries and requests from other departments
• Enter customer and account data by inputting alphabetic and numeric information on keyboard

Hmm.. I'm really not sure about the duties. Hope someone can help. All the best
