Direction: Answer the questions below. Write your answer in your activity/assessment
notebook.Entitle your work as Q3-Lesson 1 – Activity 2.
1. What do you mean by Work Immersion?
2. Why Work Immersion important?

4
 The word “immersion” as it applies to the K to 12 curriculum is defined in the Department of Education
(DepEd) Order No. 40, series of 2015: “Work Immersion refers to the part of the Senior High School (SHS)
Curriculum consisting of 80 hours of hands-on experience or work simulation which the Grades 11 and 12
students will undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting and to enrich the competencies provided
by the school under the supervision of the School Head and the designated personnel of the Partner.”
Activity 3 – VIDEO VIEWING 1 (OPTIONAL)

Instructions: In order to have a better idea of what work immersion is all about,, follow this
link: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=What+is+work+immersion%3F.Watch it
carefully so that you are prepared for the next task. This is for those who have internet connectivity.
INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY
Immersion is done outside the school campus in a “Workplace Immersion Venue,” defined as “the
place where work immersion of students is done. Examples of work immersion venues include offices,
factories, shops and project sites.” What could lead to confusion is that the word “immersion” actually has two
meanings in K to 12. The first meaning refers to a required SHS subject in the curriculum. The second
meaning refers not to a subject but to a preferred mode of delivery of Tech-Voc subjects.

Activity 5 – READING
PART I: EXPECTED BEHAVIOR
Every worker should possess good behavior in their workplace to maintain the balance and
harmonious work environment.
A. WORK ETHICS
By definition, Work ethic is a belief that work, 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 entailment 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.)
Here are some factors of a good work ethics:

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.

5
 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".
Max Weber notes that this is not a philosophy of mere greed, but a statement laden with moral language.
It is in effect an ethical response to the natural desire for hedonic reward, a statement of the value of delayed
gratification to achieve self-actualization. Franklin claims that Bible readings revealed to him the usefulness of
virtue. Indeed, this reflects the then Christian search for ethic for living and the struggle to make a living.
Experimental studies have shown that people with fair work ethic are able to tolerate tedious jobs with
equitable monetary rewards and benefits, they are highly critical, have a tendency for workaholics and a
negative relation with leisure activity concepts. They valued meritocracy and egalitarianism.
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.

A list of work ethics for an employer or a company might be:

 To provide a safe work environment for its staff and employees,

 To treat employees with dignity and respect,
 To provide a fair wage for the services rendered,
 To handle all business transactions with integrity and honesty.

A list of work ethics for the employee might include:

 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.

B. SAFETY IN THE WORKPLACE

Workplace safety is important. You know that implementing an effective safety program for your workplace is one of the
best decisions a company can make — both for its workers and for its bottom line.

6
Here’s the Top 10 Workplace Safety Tips Every Employee and Employers Should Know to create a
workplace safety environment based on shared responsibility:
1. SAFETY PROGRAMS CREATE PRODUCTIVE WORK ENVIRONMENTS
 Properly managed safety programs show commitment to safety by the management in turn creating a
great safety culture where everyone ‘wants’ to be safe.
2. ABSENTEEISM DROPS WHEN EFFECTIVE SAFETY PROGRAMS ARE INTRODUCED
 Workers want to work in a safe environment; absenteeism drops when effective safety programs are
introduced.
3. WORK PREMISES ARE KEPT TO HIGHER STANDARDS
 Work premises are kept to higher standards for safety, cleanliness, and housekeeping
4. A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT PRODUCES HAPPIER EMPLOYEES
 A safe work environment produces happier employees; everyone wants to go home safe each day.
5. EMPLOYEE INSURANCE CLAIMS DECREASE IN SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENTS
 Worker Compensation insurance claims decrease, in turn lowering WCB Rates. This is a benefit to any
company that has to pre-qualify to work; a lower rate gives you a better grade with your clients.
6. A COMPANY’S MOST VALUABLE ASSET IS PROTECTED — IT’S PEOPLE
7. SAFETY PROGRAMS ENABLE A COMPANY TO WIN AND RETAIN BUSINESS CUSTOMERS
8. SAFETY PROGRAMS CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE SAFETY IMPROVEMENTS ARE
CONSIDERED, ENCOURAGED AND IMPLEMENTED
 In turn, workers feel like they are part of the safety solution.
9. SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENTS ENHANCE THE BRAND VALUE AND GOODWILL FOR A
COMPANY
 Enables a company to win and retain business customers. Clients want to work with companies that are
safe (less downtime due to incidents).
10. SAFETY REDUCES BUSINESS COSTS AND DISRUPTION
 Reducing business costs creates productive work environments.
C. WORKPLACE RIGHTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

1. LABOR CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES

The Labor Code of the Philippines governs employment practices and labor relations in the
Philippines. It also identifies the rules and standards regarding employment such as pre-employment policies,
labor conditions, wage rate, work hours, employee benefits, termination of employees, and so on. Under the
regime of the President [Ferdinand Marcos], it was promulgated in May 1. 1974 and took effect November 1,
1974, six months after its promulgation.
PRE-EMPLOYMENT
 Minimum employable age
The minimum age for employment is 18 years old and below that age is not allowed. Persons of age
15 to 18 can be employed given that they work in non-hazardous environments.
 Overseas employment
As for overseas employment of Filipinos, foreign employers are not allowed to directly hire
Philippine nationals except through board and entities authorized by the Secretary of Labor. Travel agencies
also cannot transact or help in any transactions for the employment or placement of Filipino workers abroad.
Once Filipinos have a job in a foreign country, they are required to remit or send a portion of their income to
their families, dependents, and/or beneficiaries in the Philippines.

7
 Regulations and conditions on employment
 Minimum wage rate
Minimum wage rates in the Philippines vary from region to region, with boards established for each
region to monitor economic activity and adjust minimum wages based on growth rates, unemployment rates,
and other factors. The minimum wage rate for Non-Agriculture employees, in Manila region, established under
Wage Order No. NCR 15 is P404 per day, but in May 9, 2011, a (cost of living allowance) of P22 per day was
added to P404 wage, making the minimum wage P426. COLA was also added to the previous P367 minimum
wage for the following sectors: Agriculture, Private Hospitals (with bed capacity of 100 or less), and
manufacturing establishments (with less than 10 workers), leaving the sectors with P389 as minimum
wage. The 426 combined rate is locally referred to in the Philippines as "Manila Rate" due to this regional
disparity.
 Regular work hours and rest periods
Normal hours of work - The normal hours of work of any employee shall not exceed eight (8) hours a
day.
Health personnel in cities and municipalities with a population of at least one million (1,000,000) or
in hospitals and clinics with a bed capacity of at least one hundred (100) shall hold regular office hours for
eight (8) hours a day, for five (5) days a week, exclusive of time for meals, except where the exigencies of the
service require that such personnel work for six (6) days or forty-eight (48) hours, in which case, they shall be
entitled to an additional compensation of at least thirty percent (30%) of their regular wage for work on the
sixth day. For purposes of this Article, "health personnel" shall include resident physicians, nurses,
nutritionists, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, laboratory technicians, paramedical technicians,
psychologists, midwives, attendants and all other hospital or clinic personnel.
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.
 Rest days
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.

8
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).

WRITING A RESUME

10
 According to Cambridge dictionary, a resume is a written statement of your educational and work
experience.
A resume is a means of advertising yourself to get a job that you want and will give a short
impression about you to the employers whether you attain their standards or not. That’s why writing a good
resume is very important.
3 formats of resume

I. Reverse-Chronological

This is the more traditional format and is what you are most likely to come across. Chronological
format is flexible and can be used for applicants with any level of experience.

I should use if:

I want to show a vertical career progression.

I want to apply to a job in a similar field.
I want to promote my upward career mobility

I shouldn’t use if:

I have major gaps in my employment history.

I am changing my career path.
I change jobs every few months.

II. Functional
While chronological places emphasis on career progression, a functional format focuses on your
abilities and skills. Since it heavily emphasizes the applicant’s qualifications, functional format is more
suitable for those with an expert level of experience.

I should use if:

I have gaps in my employment history.
I am changing my career industry.
I want to highlight a specific skill set.

I shouldn’t use if:

I want to highlight my upward career mobility.

I am an entry level candidate that lacks experience.
I lack transferable skills

III. Combination
As you can probably guess the combination format merges bits and pieces from both chronological
and functional formats. Like the functional format, it focuses on specific qualifications, yet the body of the
document contains professional experience similar to chronological format. This format is generally reserved
for those with a great deal of experience in a particular industry.

I should use if:

11
I want to highlight a developed skill set within a specific career.
I want to change my career path.
I am a master of the subject I am applying to.

I shouldn’t use if:

I want to highlight my education.

I lack experience.
I am an entry level candidate

CHRONOLOGICAL RESUME

13
FUNCTIONAL RESUME

14
COMBINATION RESUME

15
Here are the following steps and tips on how to write a resume:

STEP 1: I. Contact Information

The contact information section is pretty self-explanatory. This section does not require a label (Contact
Information or Contact Details). When listing your contact details you should follow this order:

 Name (largest font on page, middle initial is optional

 Mailing Address
 Telephone Number (Check that you have an appropriate voicemail message)
 Email Address (make sure it’s appropriate, don’t use your [email protected] account.)
 Link to online portfolio (optional, ensure it is relevant to the position)
 LinkedIn Profile

STEP 2: II. Choose a Resume Introduction

Like formats, job seekers have 3 choices for their resume introduction: a qualifications summary, career
objective, and professional profile. The goal of all three are to gain the attention of an employer by highlighting your
skills and experience that will help their company. However, the method through which each introduction achieves
this goal differs. See below:

Qualifications Summary
With regards to format, the qualifications summary is a bullet point list (ranging from 4 to 6 points) of your
most outstanding career achievements. Avoid using generic statements and try to list your skills in a way reflects
your unique voice.

I should use if: I shouldn’t use if:

I am applying to a job that requires a rigid set of I lack experience.
abilities. I am an entry level candidate that lacks specific
I have a wealth of experience in the industry. skill sets.
I possess multiple skill sets. I lack measurable achievements.

Career Objective
A resume objective, also referred to as a career objective, is a 2-3 sentence statement that provides an
overview of your skills and experience. This resume introduction is best for entry-level candidates.

I should use if:

I am an entry-level applicant. I shouldn’t use if:
I do not have in-depth experience in the I have a wealth of industry-specific skill sets.
industry. I am changing career paths.
I am a recent college graduate. I am writing a cover letter.

Professional Profile
The professional profile is a combination of both the career objective and qualifications summary. It is also
the most flexible of the three styles as it can be formatted as short paragraph of bullet-point list.

16
I should use if:
I have had major achievement in my past
experience
I am applying to a position in the same industry
I have a special area of expertise in my field

I shouldn’t use if:

I am an entry-level applicant
I am recent college graduate
I lack measurable of accomplishments

17
 18

Finally, when deciding what skills to add to either of the two, try to target skills specific to the job you
are applying for. Don’t just simply copy and paste skills right out of the job description, but instead try to use
words common in the industry.

STEP 3: III. Professional Experience

The section is the core of your resume, where you are tasked with proving the skills you have listed in the
qualifications summary or career objective. When it comes to labeling this section some use “Relevant
Experience,” or “Work Experience” as an alternative to “Professional Experience.”

Remember to list your work experiences in reverse chronological order and only list experience that is
relevant to the job you are applying for. For each company create a heading including the company’s name, city
& state, your title, and the dates of employment (month and year). If you are still currently working at a
company, you can simply write “month, year-Present” for the employment dates.

STEP 4: IV. Education

Having a solid education section helps to display the foundation of your knowledge and
expertise. Depending on your professional experience, you may want to consider switching the order of the
professional experience and education sections.

For instance, college or high school students that lack seasoned professional experience benefit from
emphasizing their education by placing it before the professional experience section. In addition, if you possess a
wealth of professional experience then it is appropriate to keep this section short and sweet.

Here are the main points to include in your education section:

 The names of your university, community college, or technical school(Don’t include high school unless you
did not attend college)
 Location of the schools (city, state)
 Date of graduation (month, year)
 Degree(s)
 GPA (only include if your GPA is above 3.0, round up to the first decimal place , and use this format: GPA:
3.5/4.0)

STEP 5:V. Additional Sections

By now you’ve already added the nuts and bolts to your resume and may want to consider adding to help strengthen it.

JOB INTERVIEW SKILLS TRAINING

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.

Practice good nonverbal communication

It's about demonstrating confidence: standing straight, making eye contact and connecting with a firm
handshake. That first nonverbal impression can be a great beginning—or quick ending—to your interview.

Dress for the job or company

Today's casual dress codes do not give you permission to dress as "they" do when you interview. It is important
to know what to wear to an interview and to be well-groomed. Whether you wear a suit or something less formal
depends on the company culture and the position you are seeking. If possible, call to find out about the company dress
code before the interview.

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 talk too much

Telling the interviewer more than he needs to know could be a fatal mistake. When you have not prepared ahead
of time, you may ramble when answering interview questions, sometimes talking yourself right out of the job. Prepare
for the interview by reading through the job posting, matching your skills with the position's requirements and relating
only that information.

Don't be too familiar

The interview is a professional meeting to talk business. This is not about making a new friend. Your level of
familiarity should mimic the interviewer's demeanor. It is important to bring energy and enthusiasm to the interview and
to ask questions, but do not overstep your place as a candidate looking for a job.

Use appropriate language

It's a given that you should use professional language during the interview. Be aware of any inappropriate
slang words or references to age, race, religion, politics or sexual orientation—these topics could send you out the door

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.

Take care to answer the questions

When interviewers ask for an example of a time when you did something, they are asking behavioral interview
questions, which are designed to elicit a sample of your past behavior. If you fail to relate a specific example, you not
only don't answer the question, but you also miss an opportunity to prove your ability and talk about your skills.

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.

Don't appear desperate

When you interview with the "please, please hire me" approach, you appear desperate and less confident.
Reflect the three Cs during the interview: cool, calm and confidence. You know you can do the job; make sure the
interviewer believes you can, too.

INSTRUCTION/DELIVERY
How to create a portfolio

You need a portfolio to showcase your work and to help to demonstrate your skills to prospective
employers. Nothing impresses more than a beautifully presented portfolio at an interview. But don't send it
unless requested. Always bring it with you if you have an interview.

 Go for quality, not quantity: employers will probably spend only a few minutes looking at your portfolio,
especially at interview. Less can be more so select only your strongest work.
 Put your portfolio on a web site if possible as it is so easy to access. You then simply need to provide the web
link on your CV.
 Make sure that the portfolio is carefully laid out and in the correct order.
 All items need to be clear and easy to understand
 A physical portfolio can include anything that is portable! Anything flat can be folded into a portfolio, but you
are not restricted to things that can fit inside the portfolio! If an item is too large to take to the interview take high
quality photos of it to show with close ups to elicit details.

What should my portfolio include?

A good portfolio would probably have most of the following:

 An index of the contents

 Your CV including your interests and any evidence of project management skills.
Your CV should give the impression that you think like a designer.
 Perhaps a profile or personal statement
 Your key achievements and skills
 Examples of your work of course with good documentation.
Place the best and most relevant work first and start and finish with strong pieces of work.
 Include a variety of examples of work you have done.
 Your main example needs to reflect your strengths and your creative approach and flair.

 23

 Items that show your thought process and development of ideas are valuable: sequence of photos for
example.
 Production portfolios can also include budget sheets, idea pitches and marketing materials.
