and as relevant to human resource management.
Page 2 of 5
This assignment has two parts:
Part A: Video Pitch. You will present a reflective five‐minute recording of your journey through the
HRM major. The reflection will encapsulate your learning as relevant to a career in HR, drawing on
examples from within the major (and students’ extra‐cu
icular activities such as internships, studies
a
oad etc.), and discuss how the experience of the major has prepared you for a role in human
esource management. This pitch should answer the questions: “why should we hire you?”, and
“what value do you have to offer our organisation?”.
Part B: Job Application Letter. You will develop a cover letter for a job in HRM, you will need to draw
on your experiences and learning from throughout your HRM major to address the selection criteria,
specifically using the Course (Major) Learning Outcomes (CLO). The STAR framework can be used to
help you address the selection criteria. You will need to find a suitable advertised HR position online
or use one that is provided to you to on which to base your letter (a pdf of this document must be
provided upon submission of the assessment task). The position must be one that a HR graduate
could apply for within a year or two of graduation, with your experience. The cover letter will assist
you to prepare for your video pitch (Part A). The job application letter will need to be 500‐800 words
in length.
Advice and guidance on the professional identity assessment will be provided in the seminars and on
CloudDeakin.
Submission Instructions
Each individual student is to submit the following to the individual Assignment Dropbox provided
in the MMH331 CloudDeakin unit site on or before the due date:
Part A: Video Pitch. You will need to upload your video pitch to DeakinAir and then link it to the
Assignment Dropbox. Instructions on how to do this are provided on CloudDeakin. It is appropriate
to use your phone or similar device to record the video pitch.
Part B: Job Application Letter. You will need to upload your chosen HR job advertisement, as a pdf
document (not just a weblink, as this may be time limited), in addition to your job application letter
(a word document) to the Assignment Dropbox upon submission.

Your assignment will be counted as ‘on time’ if submitted by 8:00pm AEST or AEDST on the due
date. If necessary, you can look up your local time at
http:
www.whitepages.com.au/wp/helpfulInfo.do?category=info&item=worldTime.
You must keep a backup copy of every assignment you submit, until the marked assignment has
een returned to you. In the unlikely event that one of your assignments is misplaced, you will need
to submit your 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 drop box folder after
upload, and check for, and keep, the email receipt for the submission.
If technological problems are encountered assistance should be sort from the IT Helpdesk, and a work
equest number sought in case it is needed when requesting an extension on these grounds.
Academic Honesty Declaration
When submitting the assignment online in the MMH331 Unit Site you will be asked to confirm the
following academic honesty declaration:
DECLARATION
By clicking on the Submit button, I certify that the attached work is entirely my own (or
where submitted to meet the requirements of an approved group assignment is the
work of the group), except where work quoted or paraphrased is acknowledged in the
text. I also certify that it has not been previously submitted for assessment in this or any
other unit or course unless permission for this has been granted by the Unit Chair of this
unit. I agree that Deakin University may make and retain copies of this work for the
purposes of marking and review, and may submit this work to an external plagiarism‐
and collusion‐detection service who may retain a copy for future plagiarism and
collusion detection but will not release it or use it for any other purpose.
Notes
Extensions:
There will be no extensions granted unless there are exceptional and most unusual circumstances
outside the student’s control. Students who require a time extension should submit a written
equest to the Unit Chair, Dr. Ke
ie Saville (ke
XXXXXXXXXX), supported with
documentation (for example, medical certificate). Such requests should be e‐mailed to the Unit
Chair. Requests for extensions will not be considered after 12 noon on the due date.
Page 4 of 5
Where an extension is approved you will be given between 1 day and 2 weeks to submit your
work. https:
www.deakin.edu.au/students/studying/assessment‐and‐results/special‐
consideration
Work or holidays 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 co
upted files will NOT
e accepted as valid reasons for an extension of any length.
Penalties for late submission (with no approved extension): In accordance with sections
46 and 47 of the University’s ‘Assessment (Higher Education Courses) Procedure‐ Penalties for Late
Submission of Assessment Tasks’, the following marking penalties will apply if you submit an
assessment task after the due date without an approved extension: 5% will be deducted from
available marks for each day up to five days, and work that is submitted more than five days after the
due date will not be marked and will receive 0% for the task.
'Day' means working day for paper submissions and calendar day for electronic submissions. The Unit
Chair may refuse to accept a late submission where it is unreasonable or impracticable to assess the
task after the due date.
In accordance with this policy, the late penalty on this assessment task, due by 8:00 pm Friday August
7, 2020 (AEST), in which a total of 20 marks are available, will therefore be calculated as follows:
1 day late: submitted after 8pm on Friday (7/8) but before 8pm Saturday (8/8) – 5% penalty
= 1 mark.
2 days late: submitted after 8pm Saturday (8/8) but before Sunday 8pm (9/8) – 10% penalty
= 2 marks.
3 days late: submitted after 8pm Sunday (9/8) on due date but before Monday 8pm (10/8) –
15% penalty = 3 marks.
4 days late: submitted after 8pm Monday (10/8) on due date but before Tuesday (11/8)
8pm – 20% penalty = 4 marks.
5 days late: submitted after 8pm Tuesday (11/8) on due date but before Wednesday (12/8)
8pm – 25% penalty = 5 marks.
Dropbox closes Wednesday, 12/8/2020 at 8pm Melbourne time.

Building evidence of your experiences, skills and knowledge (Portfolio):
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.
