Conducting Oneself Inside the Company/Business Establishment/Working

Environment During the Immersion Period

There’s a lot of things that I have learned that will surely be useful not just for this coming immersion but
also to the next jobs that I’ll be having in the near future. So I will be illustrating some of the things that I
have really absorbed. Be punctual. Make it as your top priority. Always make sure that you will arrive on
time because it demonstrates your commitment to your job. Remember, school is different from work, no
more excuses/consideration. In short, do not be late. Be honest because honesty will always be the best
policy. It is also one of the key to success so always be honest even if others are not. Be persistent.
Patience is a virtue. Don’t give up so easily, take it as a challenge for it will make you better.

Be diligent. Keep in mind that no one has ever succeeded because of laziness. So always push yourself to
the limits. Don’t procrastinate for it can damage your potential. Be flexible. You should always be willing to
change or to learn even if it’s already out from your comfort zone. Be sensitive. Always care for the people
around you. Extend your help to those who needs you, if possible ask them on how you may help them
because you’ll never know when will you be needing a help from them. Remember, “No man is an island”,
even if we say we don’t need or want a friend, time will come that you’ll be needing a help from others, so
always be kind and polite.

Observe good manners and right conduct. Always keep in mind that you are not just bringing your name,
rather you’re bringing the name of your school and your family’s name. So make sure you possess
formality, act according to your level, pay careful attention to your office etiquette and make sure your
behavior is in line with expectations.Presence of mind. Make sure you’ll be useful to their team/company.
Don’t be such a nuisance. Greet people around meet. Another DON’T, is forgetting to greet people around
you especially the ones with a higher position. Even if they won’t response or you do not like the person, it
is still a manner to greet them. Dress appropriately. Wear appropriate clothes that suits you well. Your
appearance should always be neat and clean. If there isn’t a dress code, pick attire that is the norm for
your place of employment. Because sometimes, people will treat you on how you look.

Don’t be distracted so easily. Keep away from any temptations that will make you distracted. Always focus
on what you want to achieve and to your goals. Don’t be an “Eye Service”. This is what we call “Pakitang-
tao”. It is also equal to dishonesty. Do not try to deceive other people because you’re not just lying to them
but to yourself also. Don’t ask for anything in return. Especially when it comes to “money”. Don’t expect
for any monetary value because remember, it’s you who needs them. If you have, then just be thankful but
never expect and ask. Reflect on what you’ve learned. Always see every day as an opportunity towards
your brighter future. Make sure you always end up your day to learn something new. And lastly, believe in
God and in yourself. Don’t forget to ask God for guidance and protection, that you may be able to continue
living for tomorrow and for the next days. And always believe in yourself.
