4. Assignment 3 task (25 marks)
On-demand interviews or one-way interviews are a newer form of video interview. In these automated forums a
candidate typically video records answer(s) for a pre-recorded set of questions. The video recording is then watched by
the hirer at a later point. On-demand processes offer greater scheduling convenience for both parties and are
becoming an increasingly common tool for employers particularly for initial screening. Although simple sounding, these
videos take some practice to get them to look professional. Many graduates find them difficult. Organisations like
Accenture, ANZ, Commonwealth Bank, Deloitte, NAB and Telstra routinely ask candidates to prepare one-way video for
the interview process.
For the purpose of this assignment, you will be given a scenario and a question in the context of Cloud foundations.
You are to prepare a single video to answer these questions. Please note the guidelines for the video:
a) The total length of the video must not exceed 10 minutes.
b) You must personally appear on the video- no PowerPoint or any form of presentation tool is allowed. The
video is about your body language, presentation technique and professional etiquettes.
c) You should make an attempt to look semi-professional. You do not need to be attired in suit/dress etc. But you
should not look unkempt. Think of it as a one-way video that you are preparing for a future job.
d) You may use any tool for preparing the video, it should be clear in terms of audio and video quality.
e) You should not be reading answers – in other words do not look like a news reader. Do your homework prior
to making the final video. Practise before you make the final video.
f) After answering a question there should be a pause of 5-10 seconds.
g) No annotations or fancy editing is required for the purpose of this assignment
h) The final video must be in mp4 format
i) The maximum allowable video size = 800 MB and,
j) Finally, look confident, interested and sharp!
Here is the scenario and the question that you need to answer:
Consider a scenario where the state government of Victoria (Australia) wants to use AWS infrastructure and services to
create a brand-new web platform for a smooth rollout of the COVID vaccination. The web portal would publish relevant
information, provide access to clinics, hospitals, and doctors to set up the logistics of vaccine rollout. It will also allow
general population to read information, make bookings, and print personal reports.
What are some essential things that must be considered by the state government before commissioning such a web
portal backed by AWS Cloud?
You have up to 10 minutes available so do not rush your answer. Explain your answer by providing sufficient
justification.
