The purpose of this assessment is for you to demonstrate your ability to use an online job seeking website to identify a job that you are able to apply for either now or by the time you graduate, with your current skills, knowledge, and experience and complete the necessary application materials. If you are new to the workforce and do not have any work experience (like many graduates) you will learn how to promote yourself by drawing on other forms of relevant experience, such as: project work at school, volunteering, being a member of group, portable skills from casual work etc. 

 

Step 1: Find an online job advertisement that you can apply for now.

 

 

Part 1:  A formal cover letter that clearly identifies your reason/s for applying and demonstrates your ability to meet the job requirements, using key language from the job advertisement. 

 

Part 2:  up-to-date and professional resume that is easy to navigate and includes all the information mentioned in the cover letter, using key language from the job advertisement. 

 

Part 3 professional online profile that includes a 'true' self-portrait picture of yourself, your career interests, education history the qualifications you have and are currently pursuing and any other relevant information. 

NB: LinkedIn is recommended, but an equally similar online profile may be used
