1. Work values are significant most especially when you want to be a successful
employee in your chosen career. Based on my own experience as a working student
now, it is not easy dealing with work without values that you are upholding. I’ve came
up with these list of work values as I go through lot of adjustments and endurance
entering this work. By the way, I work as a tutor, and it made me realize that salary
won’t be enough as your drive to continue working but instead it is your passion or
your dedication to your service. I can’t really deny the fact that I felt exhausted during
my first week in work, I almost break down but later, as I tried to cope up, I am gradually
loving what I am doing until now.

2. I can really state that my own list of core values will be beneficial towards pursuing
my future job because first and foremost, these values are accumulated according to
my own experiences in life. And I can also assure that these work values will be
displayed to the profession I am currently pursuing now. As a future educator, I must
demonstrate these values as these are important values that will set as to be a good
role model. Somehow, my chosen values are anchored to the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers. Values such as leadership is mentioned in the Article 2,
Section 2 that states “Every teacher shall provide leadership and initiative to actively
participate in community movements for moral, social, educational, economic, and
civic betterment.”

3. Moreover, I am convinced that my specialization and my chosen career field will

best fit to my core values because these are based on my own definition of job
satisfaction. Well, these values also determined my identity and interest in the field of
work. Teaching for me is a call to respond which led me to take this course. Way back
before, I am really doubting if I could make it to the end but now as I am on my journey
towards graduating it’s such an overwhelming experience. That’s why I can say that
the values I laid down are not just based on practical standards, but these are essential
values that a teacher must really acquire.

4. My Self-Assessment Work Values Inventory says how I defined job satisfaction. I

have come up with these top five priority values based on the factors that I considered
important in the workplace. These values would be a great help in guiding me to
become a better employee in the future. As I look to what’s coming ahead, I am excited
to consider these values for success. Even now that I am a working and at the same
time studying, I am practicing these values already so that when the time comes, I
would not be caught unprepared.
