Hi, @integral_codex , I am sorry to hear about the outcome. I am also reappealing, although seeing the tone of your assessor, I am almost sure of my reappeal outcome as well.
I wanted your help with reappeal. I filled the details in reappeal form and when clicked submit its not submitting. I saved the form as pdf then I saw that some of the paragraphs were being missed or cut while saving in pdf. Can you help, how to submit the pdf with complete details. ?
Thanks.
Hello @Raphael , thank you very much for your response.
However, there still appears to be some inconsistency in the feedback, and it seems the assessor has clearly discredited certain pieces of evidence as invalid. For example:
Based on this feedback, my question is:
Are the following no longer considered valid evidence?
Because based on the assessor’s comments, it seems they have directly rejected all of these.
I would appreciate clarification on this, as it contradicts both the official guidelines and the evidence accepted in other applications.
Hello @Piyush_Chaudhari, thank you for your kind words.
Firstly, based on the response I received to my appeal, I can confidently say that some assessors may not fully understand what qualifies as valid evidence. For example, in my case, Stack Overflow was discredited as invalid evidence, despite it being clearly listed in the guidelines as acceptable.
Secondly, I recommend the following approach for completing your appeal form:
Good luck with your appeal!
Hi @integral_codex sorry about the outcome!
Frankly, it’s almost impossible and unfair to comment on any rejections and appeals without seeing the original application itself. The rejections and appeals are fully based off the quality and depth of the original application. What you or anyone posts here is your own read and perspective, it’s challenging to comment with these inputs purely.
If you are looking for a professional service to review your application and rebuild a stronger one, feel free to DM. Either way, considering two rejections, please take some time to go through all your evidences again with the guidelines if you chose to reapply.
Good luck!
Sad to hear that. It’s strange, considering Stack Overflow is clearly listed as acceptable proof for OC2, yet the assessor claimed the opposite and completely dismissed it.
And it looks even more strange if we compare it with the first assessor comment on OC2:
While their Stack Overflow answers have been helpful and well-received, the profile does not reflect leadership or exceptional standing, as there is no evidence of sustained high-level contributions, original technical insight, or peer recognition.
It seems like the first assessor accept the stack overflow evidence by itself as an accepted one for OC2, but rejected as did not consider the reputation/contribution significant enough
Yeah, it’s heartbreaking, especially with the inconsistencies and the surprising claims about work colleagues. So who then should provide reference at this point?
Well I try again with Exceptional Promise.
