work experience

[AntonyK]

Hi all,

I need you suggestion :-X
did lots of research but still cannot find the answer

I had been doing a practice for 8 month in a firm before I got promoted to a professional occupation position in the same firm.
This practice was a full-time, commission based and included duties similar to my current occupation position.
Can I count this 8 month practice as a work experience and what I need to do so?
don't want to loose this 8 months..


Thanks!!

Hello,

What do you mean by practice? Was it an internship? Or was it an official paid training while you were employed?
If, and only if, it was full-time and you were paid full-time on salary, paid your taxes, and you were on work permit, then it can be counted towards your application experience.

Wait for other's inputs.

Best of luck,

Commission is an accepted form of remuneration. However, the important question is, did your company see you as an "employee" during this time, or self-employed?
