Assessment
Slide 1.20
1) Job application portfolio (40%):
 Think of your “dream job” after graduation (your career objectives, your
ideal position, your ideal company).
◦ Suppose your instructor is the HR director of your company. Prepare and submit a job
application package for this job. Differentiate yourself from hundreds of other job
applicants.
 Include the job advertisement and your updated CV, a cover letter, and
poster.
◦ You should find a real job advertisement and attach this job ad. This should be an entry-
level job for new graduates. The job advertisement should clearly specify expected
knowledge, skills, and experiences that are sought for. You will customise your job
application (i.e. CV and Cover Letter) for this job advertisement.
◦ CV: Your professional updated CV – there should be no errors – proofread.
◦ Covering letter: On the covering letter, reflect on why you want this job and why you are
best candidate for this position; along with how you have prepared for this position based
on your learning from this module.
◦ Poster: On one A4 page, design a poster that will reflect your personal brand. This can be
your creative CV or a visualization of where your career dreams/passions lie. You do not
need to explain your poster; as it should be self-explanatory.
Slide 1.21
2) Imagination Experiments/Creative Challenges (10%):
◦ Read Section 11 of the Module Handbook and read the challenges set up for you. There is no
one right answer – these challenges are mainly about play, creativity, risk-taking,
experimentation, personal voice, and reflection. Companies want to hire candidates who
demonstrate courage, passion, and creativity. These challenges will help you develop a
colourful, creative, and well-rounded profile. You will choose your top two favourite
challenges and attach them to your coursework.
3) Evidence of Engagement and Learning in Lectures (10%):
◦ In this module, lectures (which are designed as workshops) are as important as seminars
and you are expected to attend all lectures and actively participate in all the activities and
exercises during the lectures.
◦ Part A: In this section, you will reflect on what you have learned from relevant lectures.
Please write one short paragraph for each of the Monday morning sessions. In this
paragraph, summarize what you have learned (2-3 sentences) and briefly explain how you
will apply your learning in your life (2-3 sentences).
◦ Part B: During the lectures, you will also participate in a series of ‘learning adventures’
where you apply exercises and work individually or in groups. Please choose and attach two
learning adventures you have done in lectures (you might be done these individually or in
groups – you can choose these from any lecture that you wish).
◦ In total, your evidence of engagement and learning in lectures (Part A & B) should not
exceed 3 pages.
Slide 1.22

  • 20. Slide 1.20 1) Job application portfolio (40%):  Think of your “dream job” after graduation (your career objectives, your ideal position, your ideal company). ◦ Suppose your instructor is the HR director of your company. Prepare and submit a job application package for this job. Differentiate yourself from hundreds of other job applicants.  Include the job advertisement and your updated CV, a cover letter, and poster. ◦ You should find a real job advertisement and attach this job ad. This should be an entry- level job for new graduates. The job advertisement should clearly specify expected knowledge, skills, and experiences that are sought for. You will customise your job application (i.e. CV and Cover Letter) for this job advertisement. ◦ CV: Your professional updated CV – there should be no errors – proofread. ◦ Covering letter: On the covering letter, reflect on why you want this job and why you are best candidate for this position; along with how you have prepared for this position based on your learning from this module. ◦ Poster: On one A4 page, design a poster that will reflect your personal brand. This can be your creative CV or a visualization of where your career dreams/passions lie. You do not need to explain your poster; as it should be self-explanatory.
  • 21. Slide 1.21 2) Imagination Experiments/Creative Challenges (10%): ◦ Read Section 11 of the Module Handbook and read the challenges set up for you. There is no one right answer – these challenges are mainly about play, creativity, risk-taking, experimentation, personal voice, and reflection. Companies want to hire candidates who demonstrate courage, passion, and creativity. These challenges will help you develop a colourful, creative, and well-rounded profile. You will choose your top two favourite challenges and attach them to your coursework. 3) Evidence of Engagement and Learning in Lectures (10%): ◦ In this module, lectures (which are designed as workshops) are as important as seminars and you are expected to attend all lectures and actively participate in all the activities and exercises during the lectures. ◦ Part A: In this section, you will reflect on what you have learned from relevant lectures. Please write one short paragraph for each of the Monday morning sessions. In this paragraph, summarize what you have learned (2-3 sentences) and briefly explain how you will apply your learning in your life (2-3 sentences). ◦ Part B: During the lectures, you will also participate in a series of ‘learning adventures’ where you apply exercises and work individually or in groups. Please choose and attach two learning adventures you have done in lectures (you might be done these individually or in groups – you can choose these from any lecture that you wish). ◦ In total, your evidence of engagement and learning in lectures (Part A & B) should not exceed 3 pages.
  • 22. Slide 1.22 4) Appendix Tables: Incorporation of Seminar Activities and Relevant Module Skills &Learning (40%) ◦ In this section, please try to integrate and apply what you have learned in this module. We want to see how you progressed since the start of this module (i.e. in terms of skill development, integration and application of knowledge, demonstration of learning, depth of self-reflection). Please attach the following pieces of evidence of your engagement with seminar activities in this module: ◦ Time Management Grid ◦ Personal and Professional Development Plan ◦ Top 10 Skills Evidence Table ◦ Personal Branding Canvas ◦ Application of Gibbs Cycle of Reflection ◦ Evidence Table for Self-Directed Learning Activities ◦ Flower Exercise Result Sheet ◦ Choose your own option: You will include one exercise that you will choose from the options to demonstrate evidence of your learning from seminars and lectures.
