飞出国：224711管理顾问是VETASSESS职业评估中比较常见的一个职业，但是该职业的职业评估没有想象中简单，因此，更加全面深入的了解该职业的要求，才能更有利于顺利拿到VETASSESS职业评估函。
首先，什么是管理顾问？
管理顾问协助企业机构达到更大效益，并解决组织结构问题。有时候，这类职业通常也叫作商业顾问，调查，分析并提供相关建议是该职位的核心。
管理顾问工作于不同领域，他们的工作任务和项目也是很广泛的，但是他们的工作一般涉及以下：
- 协助并激励制定相关目标，策略和计划以达到客户满意，并实现组织机构资源的有效利用
- 与客户讨论商业及组织的缺点
- 分析并评估现有的体系和结构
- 与员工讨论当前的系统，并观察企业机构的各层体系
- 指引客户实现更有效的企业机构并制定解决组织问题的方案
管理会计，税务会计，市场研究分析员，以及ICT业务分析师都是有其他的ANZSCO代码，与管理顾问是不同的，因为不能算做管理顾问。
除此之外，如果申请人提名管理顾问，但是VETASSESS认为其职责更加适合其他提名职业，则也不能通过职业评估。
A management consultant assists organisations to achieve greater efficiency and solve organisational problems. They are sometimes also known as business consultants and their ability to work across an organisation, to investigate, analyse and make recommendations, is central to the role.
Management consultants work in a variety of areas and their tasks and projects are wide-ranging, but the type of work will typically involve:
- Assisting and encouraging the development of objectives, strategies and plans aimed at achieving customer satisfaction and the efficient use of organisations’ resources
- Discussing business and organisational shortcomings with clients
- Analysing and evaluating current systems and structures
- Discussing current systems with staff and observing systems at all levels of the organisation
- Directing clients towards more efficient organisation and developing solutions to organisational problems.
Occupations such as management or taxation accountants, market research analyst and ICT business analyst are classified elsewhere in ANZSCO, the Australia and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations, which provides information on qualifications and/or experience needed to work in an occupation. These roles are not considered suitable for assessment for the occupation of management consultant.
It is important to understand that we cannot give a successful assessment to someone who applies as a management consultant when another role is better suited to their qualifications and experience.
其次，对于“管理顾问”存在哪些误解？
管理顾问可以工作于一个公司内部，但是需要是整个企业机构层面的，而不能局限于某一部门。因此，比如人力资源顾问，政策顾问和环境顾问这种职位不能算做是管理顾问。
ICT行业的咨询职业通常有特定的职业代码，一般属于ICT业务分析师这个职业。因此，如果ICT顾问的核心工作是开发App或者云方案之类的，通常不算做管理顾问。而具备ICT专业知识的管理顾问，主要给计划转型变革的企业的高层人员提供相关战略和建议。
再次，“管理顾问”职业有其独立性。
通常说来，如果申请人是受雇于管理咨询公司或者自雇的这种，会比较符合独立性的要求。
但是，有的企业机构自己会雇佣管理顾问，毕竟雇佣一个专门的管理顾问是获取大型项目专业知识最划算的方法。通常这种情况在银行或者金融机构进行重大转型项目的时候会出现。VETASSESS并不排斥这种工作履历，但是还是会考虑申请人从事管理顾问是不是独立于日常运营团队。通常说来，这样的管理顾问不会出现在该公司的组织架构中。
另外，申请人需要证明他们是在“大局”问题上工作，而不是一些使组织能够更有效地运作但范围有限且非战略性的程序和流程上。 如果是这样的话，可能会更合适组织和方法分析师职业。
同时，VETASSESS也会看申请人是否能证明自己有彻底调查问题，向利益相关者提出问题，并提出向客户展示结果和利益的建议。 仅仅提供数据分析是不够的。澳洲的雇主通常希望管理顾问可以根据调查和分析提出建议，并提出支持结论的论据。
Sometimes organisations do employ management consultants. Hiring someone on a salary may be the most cost-effective method of gaining expertise for a large project. We sometimes see this in banks and financial institutions undertaking major transformation projects.
We don’t rule out this type of experience, but we do consider the applicant’s independence from the team. They would generally not have a place within the organisational structure of the company.
We are also looking for evidence that they have worked on “big picture” issues, rather than on procedures and processes that enable an organisation to function more effectively but are limited and non-strategic in scope. People who do this role might consider the ANZSCO occupation of organisation and methods analyst.
We look for evidence of the applicant thoroughly investigating problems, asking stakeholders questions, and making recommendations that demonstrate outcomes and benefits to the client. It is not enough to provide data analysis; employers of management consultants in Australia expect them to make recommendations as a result of their investigations and analysis, and present arguments in favour of conclusions.
There are likely to be fewer questions around the independence of an applicant who is employed by a management consulting firm or who is self-employed and takes contracts.
最后，管理顾问所做的项目以及推荐人也很关键。
VETASSESS在评估申请人的技能的时候，也会考虑申请人所工作的项目类别，贡献度以及项目交付结果。
雇主的推荐信需要详细说明申请人的工作职责，申请人可以是工作于一个团队，但是VETASSESS需要看到申请人个人的工作任务。
推荐人需要熟悉申请人的工作，需要知道申请人参与的项目以及他们的贡献度。VETASSESS希望可以看到更多更全面的工作内容，尤其是工作时间不长的申请人，以便了解申请人的工作深度和广度。
In assessing an applicant’s skills, we will consider at the types of projects they worked on, their contribution and the deliverables.
Their reference letter from an employer should include detailed evidence of specific tasks. The applicant may have been part of a project team, but we want to know the individual tasks that they performed.
Referees should be familiar with the applicant’s work, be able to discuss their projects as well as know the applicant’s contribution to analyses and specific recommendations that were developed and put forward for consideration.
We expect to see a lot of variety, which will enable the applicant to demonstrate a good level of expertise. This is important for someone who doesn’t have a long career, as we will be looking to see breadth and depth in the work they have done.
This is not like a job application where the recruiter wants the information to be as concise as possible. We want to know the details of accomplishments.
