Imagine you are an employer of a company. There are two applicants left
after previous screenings. But you need only one to fill in the vacant position. Whom
are you going to choose? Is it the applicant with very good credentials besides being
an honor graduate, but during the interview, he appears to be arrogant as seen on
his ways or actions; or is it the other applicant who is just an ordinary graduate
but seems to be humble and sincere as what is projected in the interview?
Most of the time many choose the second applicant. He may not be as
academically good as the other applicant but the way he answers during the
interview revealed his character; the interviewer considers much the attitude. That’s
why, your attitude towards work is very important which is about our lesson for
today, Work Ethics.
Some of you after graduation, you might prefer to work right away or others
after college they will go on work. During this Work Immersion, you will be deployed
in a certain institution or company. It is necessary to know if your actions conform
to the work ethics. You can ask yourself: Do I show respect to everyone in the
workplace? Am I becoming rude to others? or Did I tell the truth about the problem?
There are many instances or stories you heard about employees being fired from a
job or work. What could be the reasons? These are some of them:

reasons.

2. There are companies or other workplaces that allow trainees like Work
Immersion students to just finish the work for the day and they can go home.
That scenario happens to you, so you can go home already as per instruction. But
you see other trainees like you are still working.
