IV. Working as a Team & Making Contributions
“… [T]he ability to work effectively and harmoniously in a group is a strength that employers want
their employees to have. In fact, they will likely ask you how you function in a team during the
interview process, so come prepared with an anecdote that highlights your ability to compromise
and collaborate.” (Indeed.com)
Job applications and interviews look for previous work experience and ability to work in a team.
In this assignment, you will work within a team to accomplish a task - just as in a professional job.
Achievements in this assignment and good team work can enhance your résumé!
To work effectively as a team and to ensure your individual contribution to this team work is
recognised, please:
1. Meet online, discuss your expectations and assign responsibility early on; meet online
regularly (for any offline meetings, please adhere to the required social distancing
requirements)
2. For each part in the report, specify the team member(s) in charge for the part and specify
each member’s percentage contribution. The allocation should be agreed by all members
who sign the submitted assignment coversheet
Every team member should contribute equally to the assignment.
An important aspect of effective team work is to identify teamwork issues EARLY and manage
the situation professionally (see tips below). If you encounter an insurmountable issue despite
your best efforts, please document the evidence of those efforts and contact the lecturer or tutor
as soon as possible. In such instances, it is most likely that the team will be reorganized, and the
new teams will each need to start afresh by selecting a new company (but keeping the same
currency pair). This is necessary as disputes over attributing efforts to the previous company can
cost significant time and efforts, hindering your overall progress on your assignment.
Tips for effective team work could be found in the ANU Study Skills website
(https://www.anu.edu.au/students/academic-skills/study-skills/group-work).
