Re: ACS skills assessment - references

I had sent references sent to ACS from my HR deptts and they wrote
simple statements like " to whom it may concern...blah blah"   however
ACS rejected my refernces and requested fresh references from my
managers.They specified that they prefer references from Managers rather
than HR. and a few weeks later I got a positive assessment.



I got new references ( on company letter head though) from my Managers.



I think you should explain your situation and submit proof of your
employment with these companies that no longer exist and then submit
refernces from your old managers ...however make sure that they are
detailed and highlight your IT skills....



Best,

GS
