Recruitment ready accordian

The Recruitment Ready program runs from Week 4 through Week 10 of the semester. Tasks will be released in stages and students can complete them in their own time but must meet set deadlines. As in a real-life recruitment process, if students miss a deadline or do not complete a task, they will be withdrawn from the program.

The tasks are varied, and students will be assessed on their performance. Feedback will be provided on both an individual basis and through a group debrief session, maximising students’ opportunity to learn from their program experience and apply those learnings to real-world application processes.

Students will complete the following tasks and activities in the Recruitment Ready program:

• Write a tailored cover letter and improve their resume through VMock, an advanced AI smart resume checker, as part of the application

• Attend the program welcome session

• Learn what psychometric testing is and how it is used by employers

• Attend an interviewing workshop to learn how to prepare and best present oneself to a potential employer

• Complete a virtual internship (via Forage) and communicate the value of this experience

• Respond to questions in a recorded video interview.

Following completion of these activities, students will receive feedback to maximise their program learning, as per the approximate schedule below. (Note that the mid-semester break may vary across semesters.)
