I have been reading this forum for the past year or so, and I realised that(or I missed a post) everyone is putting so much emphasis on the detailed reference letter.
All it says in the Application Guideline is this:
Supporting documents (FSWP and CEC)
You must submit the following documents to prove your work experience if you choose to be assessed against FSWP criteria or CEC criteria:
- Copy of current résumé indicating relevant work experience.
- Copies of employment reference letters from previous/current employers for
all periods of work stated in the application that meet the following requirements:
- Printed on company letterhead and identify company address,
telephone/fax numbers, email, and website addresses;
- Identify the responsible Officer/Supervisor and include his/her signature; o Stamped with the company’s corporate seal (if applicable); AND
Specify:
- Your employment period;
- Your positions held, duties and responsibilities during the employment
period for each position, and the time spent in each position (if
applicable);
- Your tot[/b]al annual salary plus benefits;
- Number of hours worked per week; and
- Any extended periods of leave (i.e., more than one month).
Additional supporting documents may include:
- Copy of work contracts; and
- Copy of pay stubs.
What if one would provide a basic letter of recommendation, on the company's letterhead, including manager's signature etc, and then provide additional info such as salaries, date employment started, duties and roles via Employment Contract (which has all those details) and then the bank statements showing proof of salaries and duration of employment (with those monthly salaries being highlighted).
Any clue about this? Anyone done that before?
