Throughout your time at Deakin, your focus has mostly been on learning finance concepts and theories. In

MAF$302,$ you apply your learning to real$-$world problems through the discussion of case studies. Integrating this

with your experience outside of university $($e$.$g$.$ part$-$time work, studies abroad and internships$)$ will help you in

developing a competitive application for a graduate position or equip you with the fundamental knowledge and

skills to set up your business.

Your presentation will include:

$1.$ Introduction $$ your career aspirations, highlights from your studies $($eg$.$ internships, awards, professional

experience etc$),$ and a professional photo of yourself.

$2.$ Body $$ talk about your capabilities including, but not limited to:

$$ Knowledge, application and judgement $$ what finance skills and knowledge have you developed

throughout your course that can be applied to solve finance$-$related problems taking into account

ethical, social, regulatory, sustainability and$/$or global considerations? Consider your experience in

MAF$302,$ other units, work or beyond.

$$ Communication and teamwork $$ what role have you played in your team in MAF$302$ or in other

teamwork experience? How effective do you consider your written and oral communication to

specialist $($finance$)$ and non$-$specialist audiences? What worked well and what would you change for

the future? Consider your experience in MAF$302,$ other units, work or beyond.

$$ Alignment with the Finance Learning Standards and employer expectations $$ discuss how your

acquired capabilities fit in with the Finance Learning Standards as well as your selected job

opportunities and why you believe these opportunities are appropriate for your career journey.

Regardless of the position you choose, you need to justify your selection and provide some insights

into the organisations and associated industries$/$sectors they operate in $($e$.$g$.$ is the industry growing?

What are the key skills expected, and what are the key challenges this organisation faces and the

industry it operates in$?).$ You will need to refer to business research, as well as credible news

sources, such as the Australian Financial Review, to support your arguments and justification. See

below for further instructions on this section.
