The document discusses reflections on prototypes created to address the problem of university graduates needing more practical experience. Feedback was sought from end users to better understand their needs. It was determined that the ideas generated did not adequately resolve the problem, and a return to the drawing board would be needed to develop another solution. Both job fairs and virtual interviews are evaluated in terms of what worked, what needs improvement, and outstanding questions. Work experience through job placements is suggested as an idea that could better prepare graduates.

Prototype and test assignment prototype 2
This document presents a prototype for building a strong undergraduate/postgraduate/employer support network that focuses on helping new graduates transition into employment. The prototype involves an animated simulation showing how the network could work, allowing the user to click through different scenarios. In the scenarios, a new graduate gets advice from various network members - including their school, potential employers, and past graduates - on issues like whether a job is a good fit, what to wear on the first day, and how to prioritize work and know what is expected of them. At the end, the user provides feedback on the prototype, noting both what works and could be improved, like differing opinions and lack of reputation measures for advice-givers. Suggestions
How job selection criteria is like Tetris
Embrace your inner gamer and use the same skills needed for TETRIS to write successful selection criteria as part of your next job application. If you’re a university student still studying and looking for work or an internship, applying for a graduate position, or looking to advance your career in a new role, find out how high quality selection criteria form the building blocks for a great job application. From taking your time and understanding the requirements, to researching and the structure, there is probably more similarities between this classic game and addressing job selection criteria than you might think. For more tips and information on writing a résumé, choosing the right cover or application letter, and answering selection criteria, contact Student Services.

Reliance on tools like Skype can also be problematic if internet connections are unstable or computers need updates. Finding a quiet, dedicated workspace away from distractions is important for focus. Office Evolution aims to address these issues with virtual office solutions that provide professional space, reliable internet, meeting rooms, and 24/7 access to facilities.

The document provides examples of behavioral interview questions in each of these categories.
