Introduction
Before we immerse into the workplace, we will first understand the immersion process, proper
work ethics, workplace safety, confidentiality, and effective conflict resolution and teamwork skills, as
agreed in the DepEd Order No. 30 s. 2017. Also, we need to hone our skills in writing a resume, filling of
application forms, and complying requirements.
Learner’s Activity
You will also prepare and accomplish own portfolio and update it from time to time because at
the end of the work immersion you will need to present this portfolio. Make sure to attach needed
documents, answer reflection leaf and paste pictures. Happy working !
Work is on your way. Are you prepared to work? Do you have the potential, character, talents,
and skills to take up the vigor of being a worker? What should you possess to become a good worker?
How will you prepare for work immersion?
I’m the kind of person who is always ready so I know that I am prepared to work. I have the
capabilities of being a good worker. Leadership, agility, and hardworking are my skills or characteristics
that can take up the vigor of being a good worker. Working effectively with others in your office or
workplace is a crucial element of becoming a good employee. Having a good attitude can assist boost
general workplace morale and indicate to your coworkers that you want to operate as a team. Respect,
civility, as well as kindness, should be provided to them. I have these characteristics so, I know that I will
be a good worker someday. In addition, I am a determined and goal-oriented person. I’m always focused
on my goal, and I always finish my work as soon as I can. I think this is my advantage as a person because
I always want to finish all my work and pass them early. Moreover, I have the stamina to do outstanding
work.
Since its pandemic, our work immersion is different. We have to do 5-6 modules and make an
educational vlog about them. To prepare for doing this, I learn and read those things that can guide me to
do these modules. For the educational vlog, I practiced speaking and explaining clearly in front of the
camera. These things can help to successfully do our work immersion.
After the pre-immersion orientation, list the Do’s and Don’ts in doing the immersion.
DO’s DON’Ts
1. Be cooperative Don’t be lazy
2. Work as a team Don’t bring your emotions into your work
3. Be positive Don’t gossip
4. Be responsible Don’t be afraid to ask questions
5. Be helpful Don’t do anything that isn’t related to your work,
be focused instead on your goal
6. Be punctual Avoid making arguments with your
groupmates/co-workers because it might affect
your work.
7. Do maintain a good communication Don’t talk back to your boss
8. Stay Motivated Don’t be nervous, but also don’t overstep your
boundaries
9. Be respectful Avoid having a loud conversation when at work
10. Be courteous to your group When doing a meeting, don’t suggest anything
that isn’t related to your work
11. Follow the rules Avoid using cellphones during your work
12. Be professional Don’t come late
13. Be flexible Don’t use emoji or multiple exclamation point in
work
14. Dress appropriately Don’t have personal conversation at your desk
15. Always smile Don’t “Reply All” to an email chain
Reflection
1. Do you agree to the company’s policy guidelines, rules and agreement? Support your answer.
Yes, I agree. It’s their rules and guidelines so I have to respect that. I am the one who works for them, so I
have to follow all of it. Besides, I know that the company’s guidelines, rules, and agreements are for the
betterment of the company and the people who work for it.
2. Was there a rule that you think is not acceptable to you? Why?
None, I always accept and follow rules.
Even if he/she is my friend, I will not help him/her. First of all, I signed a confidentiality
agreement, so I have to do what I need to do. It’s my job to protect the documents and, it is part of my
work. I need to be responsible for the things that are related to it. If you agree to this situation, then you
are a good worker and you are not ready to work. A good and responsible workers don’t do anything
contrary to their work.
Did you ever experience disagreement and conflict with others? How did you handle the
situation? How would you rate your skills in handling differences of opinion? Please give an example
that illustrates that skill.
I haven’t experienced conflict with others when it comes to saying and listening to their opinions. I
always understand their point of view and respect their opinions. I’m an understanding person, and if I know
that there is something wrong with their opinions, I always explain it to them in a polite way.

To prepare for a job interview, study first the job description so you can explain your
suitability for the position's tasks and responsibilities during your interview. Pay close
attention to keywords like needed skills and experience, as well as the duties that a
successful candidate would have. Consider how your credentials and objectives connect
with the job description so you can provide relevant examples to the recruiting team.
Think about the questions in advance. You should know the questions that they may ask
you and prepare a good answer for them.
Practice your answers to common interview questions. Practicing can help you to boost your
confidence in your job interview
During the interview, show that you are not nervous and you are confident in your answers.
After the interview, you might take additional efforts to enhance your chances of getting the
job. Sending a thank-you note to the hiring manager within a day after the interview is a
good idea. Reaffirm your interest in the position and show your appreciation for the
interview in the email.
Here are some questions that you may encounter during an interview. Try answering them.
Interpersonal Skills
1. What are your strengths? What are your weaknesses?
My greatest strengths are being a goal-oriented, focused, and determined person. My works are done
intentionally to move me closer to my vision. I am always concentrated on my objectives. I don’t just work
by completing the task instead, I strive to be better with time and meet my set milestones. I organized my
task and do them as much as possible. I always finish my assigned task early and always pass them one
week earlier before the due date. When it comes to my weaknesses, I am a bit shy when facing different
people. But, I am now improving and making myself more confident. Now, I’m practicing talking in front
of many people. Doing this can help me lose this weakness of mine.
2. What do you do when you know you are right and your boss disagrees with you?
Give me an example.
I acknowledge first my boss’s perspective and ask if I can clarify my own. Even if it is a difficult
discussion, I always answer and explain my point in a positive way. If he disagrees with me, it is possible
that I have information that my boss doesn’t. I explain it to him which would change his perspective.
And, I know that a good boss is always ready to hear his employee’s opinions.
3. If your colleagues had an opportunity to tell us your primary strength what would
that be? And, your primary weakness-what would that be?
My primary strength is that I am focused on what I want, and I won’t stop until I get. When it applied
to my job, I am focused on my work, and I won’t stop until I finish it. For my weakness, I have a hard
time letting go of a project at times. I'm the harshest critic of my own work, and I'm always looking for
ways to better or modify it. To assist myself develop in this area, I set revision deadlines for myself.
I don’t take rejection personally. A concept or an action is better if it is rational and not primarily motivated
by emotions. If they reject my proposal or ideas, it simply indicates that they don’t need it. Second, they
might want something fresh or different, so I went back to my thought and refined it. If they still rejected
it, I continue improving my idea. I also know that great ideas don’t have an expiration date. When my ideas
are rejected, I keep them because I know that sooner or later they will need them in the right situation.
Behavioral
1. Suppose you are in a situation where deadlines and priorities change frequently
and rapidly. How would you handle it?
Even if the deadlines and priorities are changed frequently and rapidly, it will not be a big problem for
me. I am a hard-working person so if you gave me a task, I will do it immediately. I don’t waste time,
and I always do things quickly and perfectly. If there’s a change about the deadline, I am sure that my
work is either finish or nearly finish.
2. How do you know when you are stressed? What do you do to de-stress?
I get pressured when I’m thinking about the things I will do. When I feel pressured, I get stressed. And to
de-stress, I always think of the positive side. Like for example, having a lot of tasks to do is so stressful, but
when I think that it is just a part of my milestone to get my ambitions, I will be more determined to do all
of it.
3. Tell me about a time when you were a part of a great team. What was your part
in making the team effective?
I already had a great team. It is a great team for me because we are all responsible. We always do
what is tasked to us. We share our ideas and listen to each other’s opinions or suggestions. We
also help each other to make things effective. And, the part that I did to make it effective was, I
always lead the things we were about to do. I guide them and tell them the things they need to do
to make their work better.
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?
I will not get private information, and my supervisor is not permitted to obtain such material. My
supervisor should understand basic office ethics, and he should realize that I am only doing my job
rightfully.
2. What was the most creative thing you did in your last job?
I gave a creative idea that makes our work better and different from others.
Leadership
2. What strengths did you rely on in your last position to make you successful in your
work?
I’ve been a critical thinker. I analyze things and use my creative thinking to improve my work and make it
better. I always look for a room where I can improve something. I always think carefully about how I can
turn my work into something different and better.
4. Explain, step by step, how you have coached an employee who had performance
problems.
The first thing I did is I clearly describe why he needs to change. I explained how his performance affects
the team and how that ultimately affects everything on the job. Second, I asked and confirmed if he
understands the things I said. I didn’t proceed until it wasn’t clear to him. After confirming, I asked him
why his work was like that or why he did not perform well. The third is, I discussed to him the potential
solutions and approaches. Then I continue to identify the root cause for the performance gap. I collaborate
with him to set SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-framed) performance goals for
improvement. Then I asked myself what I can do to prevent this problem in the future. The last step that I
did is to tell him that I appreciate who they are, and not just what they are doing. By this, he became more
motivated and determined to do his work well.
Optional Situational Questions: Please explain how you would handle the following situations:
1. You observe two of your employees arguing in a central location in the office.
When I see two of my employees engaged in a fight, I will intervene immediately to diffuse the situation.
After that, I will ask them to go to a private area to avoid public scenes. If a customer witnesses a fight
between my two employees, our company may look unprofessional. When already in a private area, I will
talk to each employee individually to hear their side of the story. Also, I know that separating gives them
time to cool their tempers. Then, if we meet as a group, I will let them know that name-calling or put-down
will not be tolerated. I will make it clear that the fighting must stop and will not accept any longer. I will let
them know that conflict creates a negative work environment for all staff members, and if they cannot put
their differences aside, I will have to consider taking disciplinary actions against them. When everything is
clear, I will offer solutions to the problem. These solutions require both employees to make sacrifices.
Lastly, I will ensure that the problem doesn’t come up again.
2. One of your employees comes to you complaining about another employee and
insisting they should no longer work together.
I will know first the reason behind this and make sure to take action about it. I will call both of them to
talk about this problem. I will make sure that the other employee should improve himself, whether it is
about his attitude or skill. He needs to improve to avoid complaints about him.
General
1. Could you share with us a recent accomplishment of which you are most proud?
I was accepted into my dream school in college. I am now enrolled and just waiting for the start of the
classes. I am proud of myself because I did it.
2. Tell us a bit about your work background, and then give us a description of how
you think it relates to our current opening.
The last company that I worked is about doing a module and making an educational vlog about it. It is
like what your company is doing. You are both enhancing the employee’s confidence, but I believe that
your company will give me more challenges that can help me to improve, not just my confidence, but
also my other skills.
I see a lot of opportunities in this position, and I know this its fits me. It will help me to improve my skills
and be a best worker.
4. What skill set do you think you would bring to this position?
I am a hardworking, determined and goal-oriented person. I have clear objectives, and I’m always focused
on my goals. I can do any task quickly and perfectly. In addition, I am good at communicating, so I can
communicate well with clients or customers.
5. Tell me about your present or last job. Why did you choose it? Why did you/do
you want to leave?
My present job is about doing a module and making an educational vlog about it. I chose it because it
helps me to improve my confidence and my communication skills. I have been working with a great
team in my company. They have helped me a lot in learning. However, I believe that I have reached
the optimum of learning here and would like to take a step ahead to learn the intricacies and more
complex aspects of my field. Moreover, I’m also looking forward to a fresh set of challenges, and the
job profile offered by you seems perfect. It would help me push my limitations and move out of my
comfort zone, and I am confident that I would be able to contribute to the team as well.
8. In what areas would you like to develop further? What are your plans to do that?
I want to improve my flexibility because today’s business environment is so dynamic, I must develop these
skills to help adapt to ever-changing work-related situations. I want to be a person who can do and take any
responsibility. In order to achieve this, I will start improving everything about myself.
9. What are some positive aspects of your last employment/employer? What are
some negative aspects?
It helps me to improve some of my skills especially my confidence and communication. However, I
think I’m already done improving on this company, so I am looking for a job that can give me more
challenges.
12. After learning about this opportunity, what made you take the next step and apply
for the job?
I know that this can be a great opportunity for advancement and a chance to continue building my skills in
a certain area.
14. Now that you have learned about our company and the position you are
applying for, what hesitation or reluctance would you have in accepting this job
if we offer it to you?
I wouldn’t have any hesitation or reluctance. I want the position and the work, and I will accept all the
things about it. I will do any task or workload you will give to me because I will love what I will do.
During the conduct of the mock job interview, do you think you did well?
Yes, I know that I did well because I tried to give them the best answer in this interview. Giving all you can is the most
important thing.
What are the areas that you think you are good at and areas that needed to be improved?
I am good at time managing as well as handling my task. And, when it comes to the areas I needed to
improve, I think it would be my confidence. I am not that confident when facing different people but, I
am now improving myself to conquer this weakness.
Yes, I am now more prepared and ready for my upcoming job interviews. Those questions help me to be
familiar with the questions that the interviewer may ask. Because of that, I think I can give the best
answer to each question, which can help me pass the interview.

A daily task record is a work log that summarizes how an employee spent his time on the job.
Through a daily work log, an employee can create a mental picture of what comprises his day and how
he uses his time. It is also helpful in understanding how productive an employee is during a particular
period of the workday.
Since we are doing an educational vlog, I’m always preparing the day before it. I read and
understand the given topic so I can able to explain it clearly in front of the camera. I’m also practicing what
I am going to say because doing this can help me avoid having some difficulties during the shoot.
When the day for the shoot comes, I always go early to prepare and be ready. I’m reading again the
lesson that I will be discussing in the video. When we are already complete, we begin to shoot. I and my
groupmates spent 3-4 hours doing each educational vlog, and within this hour, I make sure that we did all
of our agenda for that day. I spent my time on our shooting by doing my part for the video. I’m also giving
some suggestions to make our work better. I take some responsibility for my other groupmates when they
are not able to do it. Doing this can help us finish our shooting early, and I am happy with what I am doing.
Helping and giving them ideas can make all of our work easier and good.
When we finish shooting, I checked our work to see if it is complete. I make sure that there is no
part that we forgot to shoot. If all were done, I say goodbye and remind them of our next shooting.

ACTIVITY 22 | Work Performance Artefacts
Attach photos, illustrations, and other evidences (e.g. certificates of awards received) of performed
hands-on skills that include knowledge of work and quality of work done
Dear students you are now on the final stretch of your work immersion course. At this juncture
you need to revisit the things that have been done in the past few days. What are the events that are
memorable to you, what are the key learning’s that you have achieved and lastly you need to evaluate if
the experienced gave you more confidence to face what lies ahead.
This Work Immersion gave me a lot of memorable things. The most memorable for me is the
bond that I and my groupmates had every time we shoot for the educational vlog. I enjoyed working
with them, and I'm happy that they are my team. Work Immersion also taught me to become more
active, cooperative, and collaborative. I learned to be more engaged with others and to be good at
communicating. Moreover, it allows me to be more confident in front of the camera. The educational
vlogs that we did help me to improve my confidence. I can now speak and explain things clearly when
I'm in front of it.

Throughout the semester, I learned a lot from this subject. I discovered and experienced new
things that helped me to be more knowledgeable. My experiences change me on how am I before.
The things that we did on this subject help me to improve myself as a student. Before I am not that
good at explaining the lesson, I’m having some difficulties on how am I going to explain the topic
clearly. Also, before the Work Immersion, I’m a bit shy when I’m in front of the camera. But,
because of what we did on this subject, I can now do things that I am not good at before. This
subject also helps me to be more cooperative and collaborative. Since we have done this as a group,
I learned to be more engaged with others. It allows me to share my creative ideas and suggestions
that can make our work better. I learn to always share my opinion because I know that it matters.
This subject also taught me that I should not be afraid to ask questions because if I clearly
understand all, I can do it rightfully.
Work Immersion has taught me a lot of things, and it changes me as a person. It turned me out to
be the best version of me. It allows me to change everything that is wrong with me. It helps me
turn out to be more cooperative, collaborative, and good at communication. I know that these skills
and characteristics will help in the future because every job needs this.
