LESSON

Each person is covered by their own personality which is different from one
another, the reason that people have different point of view, but when it comes to
work, human being are tied-up with ethics.

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 who comes into your office
dressed in rugged outfit and 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 comes to
your room in a formal outfit and 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 is why, your
attitude towards work is very important which is about our lesson for today, Work
Ethics.

Work Ethics - is the ability to maintain proper moral values within the workplace.
It is an attitude that shapes the way an individual performs its job duties with high
moral standards. https://www.myaccountingcourse.com/accounting-dictionary/work-ethic.

Some of you after graduation, you might prefer to work right away or others after
college they will go on work. In Work Immersion, you should be deployed in a
certain institution or company. But cannot implement because of the situation that
our country is facing right now.

It is necessary to know if your actions conform to the work ethics. At this point 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:
