Hey, I graduate from English and New Media majors and I'm about to apply CEC next month. I have few questions about my job title.
My last job was newspaper journalist, which lasted for 9 months. My current job is very hard to define, however my boss just used "administrative assistant" in my job offer. The company is an immigration company. It helps Chinese applicants with their PNP, CEC and FSW applications. My job is mainly about marketing, new media advertising and sometime public relations.
My concern is:
1. The company provides immigration services, does that affect my application? Does it seems more "suspicious" to the visa officer?
2. My wage starts from $10.50/hr, and my boss said it may go up to $12 this month but no guarantee. I'm aware that CEC doesn't have a strict line for wage, but is it way too low for NOC 1123? Or should I just go for 1241 (administrative assistant) ?
3. Do I belong to NOC 1123? If so, what is my job title? I'm thinking public relations co-ordinator or marketing co-ordinator. Is the wage ok for that title?

They are employed by consulting firms, advertising agencies, corporations, associations, government, social agencies, museums, galleries, public interest groups, and cultural and other organizations, or they may be self-employed.

Here are my main job duties:

• design and implement other company documents such as letterhead and business card with photoshop
• prepare media kit material and develop new market with it (mostly oversea market)
• use social media tools and knowledge to promote company's new services and deals (like facebook, twitter and other social networking sites)
• develop local partnership by phone, and build good relationship between two companies
• gather and research latest immigration material for external audiences
• prepare reports, briefs, presentations and web sites release
• contact local media and other social groups for advertising and promotion purpose
I got 7.5 on IETLS so language test is not a prob for me. And my boss is ok with both title (NOC 1241 OR NOC 1123).
Please help me, I feel like 1123 is true and make more sense in terms of my past work experience and my academic background. however the wage is the only big concern. So which one makes more sense overall in my case?
Thanks for finish reading this looooooooooooong page. Thank you sooooooooooooo much.
