Hi,
I am in the process of getting all my documents ready for EA's migration skills assessment. I have already finished three career episodes and the CPD. Everything has been going well. Currently I am looking into the final part of the report - summary statement - and things are not going so well anymore.
After analysing the template of summary statement and each of its elements, I am puzzled and shocked - my eyes are big and my eyebrows have still not returned from the back of my head. The reason why I am so perplexed by it is the complex wording. I do not think I am a language philologist, but I have a pretty decent grasp of English (IELTS 8.5). After reading the description of competency elements, however, I feel incompetent... utterly and totally inadequate.
Am I the only one who thinks that Engineers Australia or whoever is behind creating this horrendous Word table is just pulling a prank on us? I mean, putting as many fancy words in a random order does not necessarily create a coherent sentence. These competency elements are so abstract that you almost have to guess what they could have meant by it. I realise it is a formal document, but please, do realise that this is a total overkill! I want to be able to make sense!
I am sorry for this post, but I just needed to find a place to vent. Guys, am I the only person who feels this way? Does anyone have any good suggestions how to get through this horrible torture device that they call summary statement?
Cheers!
