a)

Imagine you have now graduated and are applying for your dream professional job. You have progressed to make it to the shortlist of candidates and you are now being interviewed by your prospective employer.

Imagine that the panel of interviewers ask you the following question:

"Tell us about a time when you collaborated professionally as part of a team. What are some benefits of working in a team? Describe some difficulties that can arise in within a group, and what strategies did you use, or would you use next time, to overcome such challenges? Even if you haven't encountered any difficulties, what factors have you identified as being important for successful teamwork?"

Rememberthat your answer must refer to specific examples of your experiences from this course - that is, you should refer to your experience working as a team for your Macroeconomics group assignment, and collective group discussions.

Self-reflection This final part of the assignment is an opportunity for you to reflect on your overall experience studying this course this semester. This self-reflection exercise also serves as a way to help you identify your strengths, and to learn how to articulate your skills and abilities for when you engage with your prospective employers and navigate other future opportunities in your career.
