Hi All,

I have total of 4+ yrs of experience...

I have changed 2 companies. One of those is less than a year, 10 months to be precise with 40hr/week.
Will they reject that work experience?

Thanks...

Thanks, But I confused that some post say..jobs that are less than a year will not be considered.

Please clarify
min one year is the eligibility criterion.

As long as you were in a skilled job it doesn't matter even if you worked for 4 companies for 3 months each that will be counted as 1 year experience. It does not have to be continuous.

Agreed. As long as all your work experience together comes up to more than a year, it doesnt matter how long each individual one was. Just make sure that all the experience you are able to claim comes up to at least 1 year of full time work experience which is 30 hours per week.
