    MWL101 Peer Assessment Mock Interviews

    Description

    This assessment is comprised of 3 tasks:
    1.      Submit your job / internship/ work opportunity Position Description to your interview panel (team members). Highlight three selection criteria that you consider are your strengths. Using the 3 selection criteria prepare your notes using the STAR framework
    2.      Conduct a mock interview for each member of the team. For one interview you will be the interviewee. For the other interviews you will be a member of the interviewing panel.
    3.      Review your performance through a reflective report containing the following:
    •        A copy of the job description and your responses to the selection criteria
    •        A review of your interview performance.
    •        A peer review of your team members and a critical assessment of their teamwork and interview performance.
    1.      Respond to selection criteria using STAR framework
    What skills and knowledge are expected? Consider presenting this in two parts:
    a.      Send your internship or position description to your interview panel members.
    b.      Highlight three selection criteria that you believe are areas of strength for you.
    c.       Prepare responses to the three selection criteria using the STAR framework (see below)
    a.      NOTE – you cannot read your material in the interview.
    d.      Select or prepare 3 questions you will ask in an interview (see the list at the end of this Guideline).
    Information on STAR method was covered in seminar 7, 8 and 9. A very brief summary is included below as a reminder. STAR Technique – a strategy for answering behavioural questions.
     
    Situation (Briefly) describe a challenge you were faced with.
    Task What were you asked to do to overcome this challenge?
    Action What did you do? Logically explain the steps you took.
    Result What did you achieve? How was the challenge met? What did you learn? What would you do differently in the future?

    2. The interviews (20 minutes per team of three) (10 marks)
    a.      Each panel member should have chosen an additional question to ask both interviewees; these can be different and should be tailored to the opportunity the applicant is interviewing for. Make sure as many of the key skills represented in the questions provided are covered; do NOT ask only questions about teamwork for example.
    b.      Prior to starting the interview, you must begin recording your interview (audio only). This will help with task 3 below. You are not required to submit your recording but it ensures that you have something to refer to in your reflection. Your mobile phone or equivalent can be used for this purpose.
    c.       Interviewees will leave the room and will enter when invited as in a real interview. Remember you are being assessed from the moment you enter the room.
    d.      (For campus students) Your interview panel will be your team members and your tutor.
    e.      You will have 5 minutes for your interview (per team member)
    f.        Use the STAR technique to answer behavioral questions.
    g.      After each set of team interviews the panel will be given 5 minutes to fill in the assessment sheets. This will include time to discuss feedback and to compare self-assessment with peer assessments. (Peer marking sheet included at the end of this guideline).
    h.      The peer assessments will be gathered and averaged to arrive at the Interview mark; e.g. if you are marked: 11, and 13 your final score will be 12
    In the week 9 Event and seminar 9 you will cover interview skills and providing constructive criticism.
    Performance on the day
    On the day of the interview make sure you are well prepared and have given thought to the following:
    ·         Getting to the interview, where to park and how long it will take. You must avoid anything that will stress you and create a poor impression – like being late.
    ·         Dress cleanly, neatly and appropriately for the job/organisation. Avoid loud, ’out there’ make-up and jewellery.
    ·         Bring your position description and your resume with you.
    ·         Try to appear confident and relaxed – preparation will help. Smile, shake hands firmly, use people’s names and speak clearly, not too softly, and make eye contact.
    ·         Even though interviews are fairly formal, try to communicate your enthusiasm and let your personality shine through.
    ·         At the end of the interview you may be asked if there is anything you wish to add – this is your opportunity to draw attention to aspects that have not been covered.
    ·         You will be interviewed by a panel.
    ·         It is quite acceptable to ask for questions to be repeated if you did not hear or understand them. Think about responses carefully without having overly long pauses.
    ·         Avoid ‘yes’ ‘no’ answers.
    ·         Be polite, avoid interrupting and thank interviewers at the end.
    ·Please come dressed for a professional interview and arrive on time
    ·Organize a recording device, check there is enough memory, and battery power.
     
     
    3.      Prepare a short report that reflects on your performance and the performance of your team members. In your report include the following material: (10 marks)
    a.      A copy of the job description and the responses to the selection criteria (completed in task 1 above) (approximately 300 words). Note that the job description is not included in word count.
    b.      A reflection of your interview performance (approximately 300 words).
    c.       A reflection of the team feedback process, both giving and receiving feedback, and the interview performance of your team members. (approximately 400 words).

    <http://www.deakin.edu.au/students/study- support/academic-resources/reflective-writing>
     
    This task is the only part you submit.
    This report is due one week after your mock interview. Campus students will be informed of their seminar allocations in week 9.
    Recommended word count: 1000 +/- 10% words

    Presentation and formatting

    Word limit is 1000 ±10% words.
    Use a clear font such as Times New Roman, Ariel, Calibri or Tahoma.  Text font size should be 12 pt. Any tables or diagrams should be 10 pt.
    Headings must be bold. Use headings effectively to show the reader how you have structured your work.
    Use clear, precise language for all sections. Business writing requires the author to write for a business audience. Business audiences expect that you will introduce the topic, present all the key findings or information and then provide a clear result. The result may be a summary of your findings for Section 2 or conclusion at the end of this assignment.
    Students must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing and report format.

    Submission Instructions

    You will submit this work as a reflective business report. Your work must be submitted as a word document or PDF.
    You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has been returned to you.  In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced, you will need to submit a backup copy.
     
    Any work you submit may be checked by electronic or other means for the purposes of detecting collusion and/or plagiarism.
     
    When you are required to submit an assignment through your CloudDeakin unit site, you will receive an email to your Deakin email address confirming that it has been submitted. You should check that you can see your assignment in the Submissions view of the Assignment dropbox folder after upload, and check for, and keep, the email receipt for the submission.
     
    Please note: when your submission is being marked, the assignment drop box will be hidden. You will not be able to view your submission during this time.

    Late submission

    Extensions can only be approved by the Unit Chair (Dr Marion Steel). Extensions can be granted for documented serious illness (not just on the day the assignment is due!) or for compassionate reasons under extenuating circumstances. The Unit Chair can ask to see how much work has been completed before granting an extension. You will be asked to provide evidence to support your request.
     
    Work or holiday reasons or other assignments are NOT grounds for an extension – you are expected to manage these issues as part of your studies. You are strongly encouraged to start early and to continually backup your assignment as you progress. Computer crashes or corrupted files will NOT be accepted as valid reasons for an extension of any length.
     
    You may find further information about this at the Special Consideration webpage

    Penalties for late submission

    Assignments or other assessment tasks conducted during the trimester submitted late without an extension being granted will not be marked. These will be held until final grading and may be taken into consideration in a pass/fail situation.

    Turnitin

    Students are strongly recommended to check originality through Turnitin, prior to submitting the final assessment.

    Referencing

    You must correctly use the Harvard style of referencing

    Academic Integrity, Plagiarism and Collusion

    Plagiarism and collusion constitute extremely serious breaches of academic integrity. They are forms of cheating, and severe penalties are associated with them, including cancellation of marks for a specific assignment, for a specific unit or even exclusion from the course. If you are ever in doubt about how to properly use and cite a source of information, consult your lecturer or Study Support
    ·         Plagiarism occurs when a student passes off as the student’s own work, or copies without acknowledgement as to its authorship, the work of any other person or resubmits their own work from a previous assessment task.
    ·         Collusion occurs when a student obtains the agreement of another person for a fraudulent purpose, with the intent of obtaining an advantage in submitting an assignment or other work.
     
    Work submitted may be reproduced and/or communicated by the university for the purpose of assuring academic integrity of submissions.
     

    Can I recycle my own work?

    Deakin students are not permitted to recycle their assessment work, or parts of assessment work, without the approval of the unit chair of their current unit. This includes work submitted for assessment at another academic institution. If students wish to reuse or extend parts of previously submitted work, then the following information must be considered.
     
    For Assessment 4 of Personal Insights, students may wish to reuse parts of previously submitted work, from Assessment 1, 2 and 3. If this your own work, then updating your work for this Assessment is recommended. Do not copy someone else’s material.

    Building evidence of your experiences, skills and knowledge

    Building a portfolio that evidences your skills, knowledge and experience will provide you with a valuable tool to help you prepare for interviews and to showcase to potential employers.  There are a number of tools that you can use to build a portfolio. You are provided with cloud space through OneDrive, or through the Portfolio tool in the Cloud Unit Site, but you can use any storage repository system that you like.
    Remember that a Portfolio is YOUR tool. You should be able to store your assessment work, reflections, achievements and artefacts in YOUR Portfolio. Once you have completed this assessment piece, add it to your personal Portfolio to use and showcase your learning later, when applying for jobs, or further studies. Curate your work by adding meaningful tags to your artefacts that describe what the artefact represents.MWL101 Peer Assessment Mock Interviews
