NOC codes 1221 / 1241

[lyndsay]

Apologies in advance for the questions and length.

I'm applying for EE under the FSW stream, but due to multiple redundancies and working for a very large company I only have one chance to get my letter from my former employer confirming my duties. She is the HR department and will be made redundant shortly. So I want to make sure it's correct. My duties encompassed a little of both 1221 and 1241 (both skill level B), although more closely align with 1241, so that's what I plan to apply under. My title was 1221 but I know they look at duties rather than titles.

My understanding is that I could be assigned a different NOC code based on the information I supply, so I need to avoid 1441 (skill level C). What's the best way to go about this? I don't want to just copy and paste the duties from 1241 (which presumably would lead to refusal anyway). Are there any templates I could work from and adjust my own letter, or could I post what I planned to use here and get feedback?

As well as the duties, I'm going to ensure it includes this info from a sticky post by rajkamalmohanram:

Must:
• be written on company letterhead,
• be signed by the responsible officer/supervisor,
• show the company's full address, telephone and fax numbers, e-mail and website addresses, and
• be stamped with the company's official seal (if applicable).

Must include all of the following information:
• the specific period of your employment with the company (years and months),
• the positions you have held during the period of employment and the time spent in each position,
• your main responsibilities and duties in each position,
• your total annual salary plus benefits,
• the number of hours worked per week, and
• any extended periods of leave (i.e. more than one month)

Any advice, tips, relevant posts etc are welcome, thank you!

The best way to approach this is to clearly understand the difference between 1241 and 1441. While there may be some duties in common, 1241 will have duties that are higher-level and that do not appear in 1441. Your duties that correspond to those higher-level duties should be at the top of your list.

Thanks jes_ON. I thought that would be the logical step but was afraid it was too obvious...like they'd try to 'catch me out'. I think I'm being paranoid about it.
