INTRODUCTION
Work immersion is one of the necessary subjects for graduating students. Wherein the
senior high school students must undergo practicum that relates to the students course.
In this subject, the students are able to learn and experience things about their courses
since; they are exposed with the work-related environment to their field of specialization.
Hence, it will be a great help to enhance their competency level. They can also develop
work ethics such as; good work habits, attitudes, appreciation, and respect for work,
applying all the theories and concept that they’ve learned in school, acquire new skills
and help to develop their communication skills and interpersonal skills through the help
and guidance of industry experts and workers. These will help every student to be
prepare to meet the needs and standards of employment.
A. WORK ETHICS
By definition, Work ethic is a belief that works, hard work and diligence has a
moral benefit and an inherent ability, virtue or value to strengthen character. It is about
prioritizing work and putting it in the center of life. Social ingrainment of this value is
considered to enhance character through hard work that is respective to an individual’s
field of work
A strong work ethic is vital for achieving goals. A work ethic is a set of moral
principles a person uses in their job. People who possess a strong work ethic embody
certain principles that guide their work behavior, leading them to produce high-quality
work consistently and the output feeds the individual to stay on track. A good work
ethic fuels an individual’s needs and goals, it is related to the initiative by a person for
the objectives. It is considered as a source of self-respect, satisfaction, and fulfillment.
However, a negative work ethic is a behavior of a single individual or a group that has
led to a systematic lack of productivity, reliability, accountability and a growing sphere
of unprofessional/unhealthy relationships (e.g., power politics, lack of social skills, etc.)
1. Goal-oriented actions: it is not about making plans or the next logical steps;
it's about getting things done so that the work invested wouldn't be counter-
productive.
2. Dedicate on priority: focusing on qualitative activities that a person is
capable and where they can make a difference or a high impact based on
objectives.
3. Being available and reliable: spending time on the work and building oneself
up for the task.
4. Conscientiousness: a desire to do a task well, being vigilant and organized.
5. Creating a rewarding routine/system: Engaging in tasks that provide
strength and energy which can be transferred to your ultimate goals, creating
a habit and a habitat for success.
6. Embracing positivism: shape a problem with the statement "good, (action)
(problem)", e.g. "I'm tired and it is time for a workout" leads to "Good.
Workout tired".
CAPITALIST VIEW
Steven Malanga refers to "what was once understood as the work ethic—not just
hard work but also a set of accompanying virtues, whose crucial role in the development
and sustaining of free markets too few now recall".
ANTI-CAPITALIST VIEW
The industrial engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor (1856-1915) revised the notion
of work ethic as a means of management control that delude workers about the actual
reality for accumulated advantage, which is a form of avarice. Marxists, and some non-
Marxist sociologists do not regard "work ethic" as a useful sociological concept. They
argue that having a "work ethic" in excess of management's control doesn't appear
rational in any mature industry where the employee can't rationally hope to become
more than a manager whose fate still depends on the owner's decisions.
NOTE:
Since work ethics deals with a code of conduct, or a set of principles that is acceptable
in the work place, we need to look at what some of those principles are.
To show up on time.
To tend to company business for the whole time while at work.
To treat the company’s resources, equipment, and products with care,
To give respect to the company. That means honesty and integrity.

Meal periods- Subject to such regulations as the Secretary of Labor may prescribe, it
shall be the duty of every employer to give his employees not less than sixty (60)
minutes time-off for their regular meals.
All employees have the right to have a 24 consecutive hours of rest day after
every 6 days of work. Employers are responsible for determining and scheduling the
rest day of employees except only if the employee prefers a different day based on
religious grounds. However, the employer may require an employee to work during
his/her rest day in cases of emergencies, special circumstances at work in which
employees are seriously needed, to prevent losses or damage to any goods or to the
employer, and other cases that have reasonable grounds.
Nightshift differential and overtime
Employees are also given additional wages for working in night shifts. The night
shift starts from 10 o’clock in the evening until 6 o’clock in the morning, and employees
will receive 10% more of his/her regular wage rate. Overtime work for employees
(beyond 8 hours) are allowed and workers shall be paid with his/her regular wage plus
an additional 25% of the regular wage per hour worked or 30% during holidays or rest
days.
Household helpers
Household helpers, or maids, are common in the Philippines. Household helpers
deliver services at the employer’s home, attending to the employer’s instructions and
convenience. The minimum wage of household helpers is P800 per month for some
cities in Metro Manila, while a lower wage is paid to those outside of Metro Manila.
However, most household helpers receive more than the minimum wage; employers
usually give wages ranging from P2, 500 and above per month. On top of that,
employers are required to provide food, sanitary lodging, and just treatment to the
household helper.
POST- EMPLOYMENT
Termination by employer
The employer has the right to terminate an employee due to the following
reasons: serious misconduct or disobedience to the employer, neglect of duties or
commission of a crime by the employee, and such gives the employer a just case to
terminate the services of the employee.
Retirement
The retirement age for an employee depends on the employment contract. Upon
retirement, the retired employee should be given his/her benefits according to the
agreement or contract between the employer and the employee. However, if there is no
existing retirement plan or agreement for the employee, he/she may retire at the age of
60, given that he/she has served the employer for 5 years, and shall be given a
retirement pay of at least half a month’s salary for every year of service (6 months of
work given is considered as 1 whole year for the retirement pay).

PART II: APPRECIATING THE IMPORTANCE OF CREDENTIALS
CREDENTIALS
According to Cambridge dictionary credentials are
documents that state the abilities and experience of a person and show that
the person is qualified for a particular job or activity.
Even the smartest and most qualified job seekers need to prepare for their job
interview. Why, you ask? Interview skills are learned, and there are no second chances
to make a great first impression. These 10 interview tips will teach you how to answer
interview questions and convince the hiring manager that you are the one for the job.
Listen
From the very beginning of the interview, your interviewer is giving you information,
either directly or indirectly. If you are not hearing it, you are missing a major opportunity.
Good communication skills include listening and letting the person know you heard what
was said. Observe your interviewer, and match that style and pace.
Don't be cocky
Attitude plays a key role in your interview success. There is a fine balance between
confidence, professionalism and modesty. Even if you're putting on a performance to
demonstrate your ability, overconfidence is as bad, if not worse, as being too reserved.
Ask questions
When asked if they have any questions, most candidates answer, "No." Wrong answer.
Part of knowing how to interview is being ready to ask questions that demonstrate an
interest in what goes on in the company. Asking questions also gives you the
opportunity to find out if this is the right place for you. The best questions come from
listening to what you're asked during the interview and asking for additional information.
Interpersonal Skills

3. Tell me about a time when you were a part of a great team. What was your part in
making the team effective?
4. Suppose your supervisor asked you to get information for them that you know is
confidential and he/she should not have access to. What would you do?
5. Describe a time when you performed a task outside your perceived responsibilities.

What was the outcome?

what you liked about it.
2. What was the most creative thing you did in your last job?
3. What is your interpretation of “success?”

Once you have chosen your specific type of presentation, you can now start creating and
adding content. To ensure your content is effective and relevant, follow a few simple rules:
1. Keep it short. Statistics show that even the most interesting videos can lose the
audience’s attention in the second minute of playback. Place value on your user’s time:
keep it short.
2. Demonstrate your key message first. Don’t make your audience wait for your key
idea. Clearly demonstrate it upfront and then in sequence demonstrate all relevant
supporting details. As soon as you are done wrap up the presentation. Be brief, be bold,
and be gone.
3. Summarize your argument. Help users memorize key information by repeating it
several times. Start out with your key idea, explain it throughout the presentation and
then summarize it again at the end.
4. Create a relevant script. It’s very important that your presentation is brief. Keep it
relevant and pithy and accentuate the main points. Ensure your presentation is
understandable by using natural flowing language laced with inviting humor.
5. Invest in quality. Because video is the central part of your presentation, it must be high
quality. Use a high-resolution camera and make the recording in a professional studio.
6. Create a rich, dynamic feel. To attract the attention of the audience, make your
presentation dynamic: use animation and transitions and freshen up your presentations
by changing the layout of your slides.
Videos will be judged over a score of (50) points on the following criteria:
Creativity /Originality (15 pts):
Entries must be the students’ own work, in the student’s own words, and
may include personal experiences and thoughtful observations. Videos must
reflect that the student has carefully examined and thought through the topic.
