With letters from each employer stating dates, position and duties, covering at least three years after the diploma. The letters must describe analysis work, not only programming, and must be from the employers themselves.
Experience letters carry the case when there is no degree
The credential line for Computer Systems Analyst accepts a qualifying post-secondary diploma or certificate plus three years of experience as an alternative to a degree. The Appendix does not require those three years to have been acquired after the diploma. Each experience letter should be on the employer's letterhead, signed by a person with knowledge, and state the dates, title and duties in enough detail to show systems analysis.
For the Paradise developer's five remote years, her Canadian employer's letter should explain that she gathered requirements from the U.S. client, designed changes and specified them for the development team. Other qualifying experience should be documented the same way.
The hiring employer may attest to prior experience only when it has firsthand knowledge; otherwise its support letter proves the proposed employment, not the past experience. Gaps, contract periods and self-employment need explanation. Pay records can corroborate the letters.
Start a first review by making a dated matrix: requirement, primary proof and gap. The diploma and transcript settle the credential; letters and payroll records settle the experience. Hypothetical example: a veterinary-practice scheduling analyst presents a two-year diploma and three letters, but one omits duties; obtaining a replacement before filing avoids reliance on a title alone.
