根据你的描述,我猜你赶7/1 是不太可能了。我认为你没有paid position. PhD 并不是Position 。 我想你应该读了至少2年PhD了,所以你很可能已经自动失去最基本的一条:Recent Work Experience or Australian Study Requirement
************************************************************************************
PRE-GRADUATION WORK EXPERIENCE:
If you have undertaken part-time work experience while completing a course of study, you may count this towards any General Skilled Migration work experience requirements as long as you were employed on a paid basis for at least 20 hours per week at the skilled level. Generally, pre-graduation work experience would be at the 'semi-skilled' rather than the 'skilled' level and therefore not be acceptable.
An exception to this may occur if you have undertaken work experience during postgraduate or further study and you are already qualified for the particular occupation due to completion of a previous qualification. In this case, you may be working at the skilled level for that occupation.
那个Monash 的 是 lucky 加上很可能 PhD 期间除了纯奖学金,还有一部分资金是来自于tutor 或者跟industry 合作项目 或者给导师干点什么。。所以 case by case 得很。。
