Specific occupation requirements
To be successfully assessed as a manager is not easy, and most likely the category most often failed by applicants.
Managers must have other managers reporting to them, and must generally be responsible for policy decisions and company direction to be approved
Typically, small business (under 15 staff) managers are not approved – but there are many other potential occupations for people in this category.
