Hi all,
I was hoping I could get someone's advice regarding the following:
I worked at the same company for about a year and a half. I started the first few months as a "General office worker" (NOC 1411) and was eventually promoted to "Supervisor" (NOC 1211) a few months later. Since only the NOC1211 grants me the points for CEC, I obtained a letter describing in details the duties related to this position. However, the letter of course mentions that I started as a NOC 1411 until I got promoted, as it should, I believe.
However, my problem regards my hourly wage. I started at $12.00/hour under the NOC1411, then got a raise to $13.00/hour while still employed as NOC1411. I was then promoted to NOC1211, yet my salary did not change (it remained at $13.00/hour) until I finally got another raise to 15.00$/hour about 6 months later.
Because the hourly wage did not increase at the same time I was promoted, I was afraid this might be considered strange by the officer reviewing my file. Here is what I believe are my options:
1) Mention all salary change as they occurred under each position, omit nothing and hope that the officer won't find that problematic.
2) Do not mention the hourly wage associated with the NOC1411 at all, given that I do not wish to claim any points for this particular position. So, mention the NOC1411 but mention neither the duties nor the salary while working in this position. Only mention the detail salary while working as NOC1211 (so the $13.00/hour followed by a raise to $15.00/hour).
I much prefer option 2), since I think that it is legitimate not to provide detailed information regarding the position I do not intend to claim points for. However, I would really like to have someone's opinion on what's the safest/proper course of action in this case.
Thank you all!
PS: I am of course concerned that my hourly wage is low for this position regardless, but there is nothing I can do about that, so I'll simply have to give it a shot.
