BPD2100 International Business Challenge Assignment Help

International Business Challenge (IBC-2)

An increasing trend in the employment market is the use of social media and networking to connect interested employment candidates with potential employers. Internet based networking sites such as ‘Linked-In’, ‘on-line video resumes’, and ‘personal websites’ are some methods that are currently being used to showcase and publicly communicate the capabilities and interests of people in the employment market. Another example of electronic media that is used to potentially showcase a person’s interests, skills, abilities and potential for a chosen profession or field is ePortfolio presentation. The Career ePortfolio is a collection of evidence that documents and displays your academic, employment, co-curricula and personal experience, interests and capabilities. It is an evolving portfolio of information that you can continue to develop and update over the course of your studies and beyond. You can also create & use different ePortfolios for different purposes (e.g.
ePortfolio presentation for applying for different types of jobs highlighting different skills or abilities; ePortfolio presentation of achievements; ePortfolio presentation of learning experiences etc.). For this assessment, you are required to individually develop Career ePortfolio webpages in My ePortfolio platform through VUC space.

Guidelines & Specific Requirements for BPD2100

You will develop Career ePortfolio presentation to support your application for your first career step following graduation from your current study (Use actual realistic detail to date of your studies, skill sets, work experience, and personal achievements). Remember your audience are potential employers and professional connections – not necessarily your facebook friends or even your teachers. So choose examples and photos that are more likely to catch the attention of employers / professional connections. Then try to be specific and focus on what potential employers and
professional connections might want to read about you, what you have done and learned, who you are and what you can do (your attitudes, skills, abilities and personal strengths), and what you would like to do (career and life goals). In a better Career ePortfolio’s presentations people do not just describe what they have done, but explain how they have developed their skills and attitudes in the process and use evidence (photos, documents, other media) to provide a clear picture of who they are and what they can do and what they aspire to.
You have a great deal of creative freedom to structure your Career ePortfolio presentation must at least contain a number of pages which cover the following areas as a minimum.
– A “professional looking” introductory page with a well-chosen photo and some introductory information about you and your career aspirations. Your aim in creating this page is to make a potential employer want to click on your other pages to find out more about you.

 

 

– Several pages which provide examples and evidence of your academic, employment, cocurricular and personal experiences and what you learned from them and what skills, attitudes you developed from them. Important: Minimum one evidence must be about your Leadership Skills
– One page containing your personal career SWOT analysis.
– One page containing your CV
– One page containing your detailed Career Plan, including long term and short term career objectives which are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time based (SMART). Your career plan should include a number of specific steps or actions that you could take that would help you achieve your short and long term career goals. Note that even if you provide access to your SWOT analysis and/or your Career Plan and/or your CV on a Word or PDF file, the contents MUST still be copied, pasted and formatted as a page of your Career ePortfolio presentation as well, as downloading these documents is inconvenient and may take too long for users, including potential employers. As a minimum your Career ePortfolio presentation must contain at least 8 examples or evidence relating to your past and present experiences, with an appropriate mix of academic, co-curricula, employment, and personal examples.
