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. Work Ethics is a group of moral principles, standards of behavior, or set of values regarding proper conduct in the workplace. 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:
