For Basic visa requirement of "recent work experience" you only need 20 hours per week of paid employment for the 12 months in the previous 24 months.

Doesn't matter whether you are on a Student visa or not!

So if you are able to prove your work experience with an Employer Reference letter, this requirement shouldn't be of an issue.

Btwn, this is not a professional advice so you should check it out. But from my experience the above judgement is right.

Hope this helps!
