Characteristics of Personality
1. Personality is something which is unique in each individual. It refers to internal as well as
external qualities, some of which are quite general. But it is unique to each individual. It is
not possible for any other individual to reproduce or imitate the qualities of the personality of
the individual.
2. Personality refers particularly to persistent qualities of an individual. Every individual has
certain feeling as well as other permanent traits and qualities. Personality is mainly
composed of the persistent of permanent qualities that exhibit themselves in form of social
behavior and attempt to make adjustment with the environment.

the process of learning. It takes place in reference to the environment. We do not acquire
all the traits of personality all at once.
4. Personality is greatly influenced by social interactions. It is not an individual quality. It is a
result of social-interaction. In other words, it means that when we come in contact with
other members of the society, we acquire certain qualities while we exhibit certain others.
All these come to form personality.
5. Personality represents a unique organization of persistent dynamic and social
predisposition. In personality various qualities are not put together. They are in fact,
integrated into one. This integration is nothing but a result of organization which may be
different man to man.

of human interaction. In any sphere of life, it is difficult to get along without communicating
with others. In the service industry, it is just impossible.
Communication Process
The communication is a dynamic process that begins with the conceptualizing of ideas
by the sender who then transmits the message through a channel to the receiver, who in
turn gives the feedback in the form of some message or signal with the given time frame.
Thus, there are seven major elements of communication process.
1. Sender. The sender or the communicator is the person who initiates the conversation and
has conceptualized the idea that he intends to convey it to others.
2. Encoding. The sender begins with the encoding process wherein he uses certain words or
non-verbal methods such as symbols, signs body gestures, etc. to translate the information
into a message. The sender’s knowledge, skills, perception, background, competencies,
etc. has a great impact on the success of the message.
3. Message. Once the encoding is finished, the sender gets the message that he intends to
convey. The message can be written, oral, symbolic or non-verbal such as body gestures,
silence, sights, sounds, etc., or any other signal that triggers the response of a receiver.
4. Communication Channel. The sender chooses the medium through which he wants to
convey his message to the recipient. It must be selected carefully in order to make the
message effective and correctly interpreted by the recipient. The choice of medium
depends on the interpersonal relationships between the sender and the receiver and also
on the urgency of the message being sent. Oral, virtual, written, sound, gesture, etc. are
some of the commonly used communication mediums.
5. Receiver. The receiver is the person for whom the message is intended or targeted. He
tries to comprehend it in the best possible manner such that the communication objective is
attained. The degree to which the receiver decodes the message depends on his
knowledge of the subject matter, experience, trust and relationship with the sender.
6. Decoding. Here, the receiver interprets the sender’s message and tries to understand it in
the best possible manner. An effective communication occurs only if the receiver
understands the message in exactly the same way as it was intended by the sender.
7. Feedback. The feedback is the final step of the process that ensures the receiver has
received the message and interpreted it correctly as it was intended by the sender. It
increases the effectiveness of the communication as it permits the sender to know the
efficacy of his message. The response of the receiver can be verbal or non-verbal.
Communication Barriers
1. The use of jargon. Over-complicated, unfamiliar and/or technical terms.
2. Emotional barriers and taboos. Some people may find it difficult to express their emotions
and some topics may be completely off-limits or taboo. Taboo or difficult topics may include,
but are not limited to, politics, religion, disabilities (mental and physical), sexuality and sex,
racism and any opinion that may be seen as unpopular.
3. Lack of attention, interest, distractions, or irrelevance to the receiver.
4. Differences in perception and viewpoint.
5. Physical disabilities such as hearing problems or speech difficulties
6. Physical disabilities to non-verbal communication. Not being able to see the non-verbal
cues, gestures, postures and general body language can make communication less

effective. Phone calls, text messages and other communication methods that rely on
technology are often less effective that face-to-face communication.
7. Languages differences and the difficulty in understanding unfamiliar accents.
8. Expectations and prejudices which may lead to false assumptions or stereotyping. People
often hear what they expect to hear rather than what is actually said and jump to incorrect
conclusions.
9. Cultural differences. The norms of social interaction vary greatly in different culture, as do
the way in which emotions are expressed. For example, the concept of personal space
varies between cultures and between different social settings.
Overcoming Communication
1. Make your ideas clear before communicating. Give thought to what you are going to say.
You need to have clear ideas about what you are about to speak. Know the motive behind
the subject. Begin with a clear goal of communication and precise thinking.
2. Ensure the time of your communication is good. When you speak to someone, try to see
the time and the mood of the person. Do not go and knock on your colleague after office
hours. Time is an important factor in communication. When a group of people initiates
communication, you must pay attention and communicate in due time.
3. Use a language your listener can understand. You have to ensure that you are speaking
the language which your listener can understand. Make your grammar and vocabulary as
easy as possible while talking and writing. You can always show your language skills in
report or thesis writing. But when delivering a meaningful message or conversing formally
and informally, avoid any complex language using a different accent.
4. Make your message to the point and short. When speaking or writing emails or chatting,
make your message to the point. Firstly, avoid any kind of unnecessary information.
Secondary, only communicate one idea, thought or feeling at a time.
5. Check if the other person has understood your message. When you communicate with
someone else, ensure that they understood the message properly. Giving and requesting
feedback proves that you ae serious about what the other person says and their views in
the subject.
6. Take care of your body language, tone and content of the message. Your expressions,
gestures, posture and voice tones are powerful tools, whenever you are speaking, make
sure you are communicating with correct body language.
7. Listen before you speak again. As Polonius said in Hamlet, “give every man thy ear, but few
thy voice”. For effective communication, you must always listen to the person attentively.
Even though you and the other person may have a different perception of the subject
listening to the person overcomes barriers.
8. Do not interrupt when someone else is speaking. Strongly avoid interrupting someone when
they are speaking. Wait till they are finished with what they are saying. It is considered rude
behavior. But when interrupt someone, it distracts them from things they were saying. As a
result, they might lose their flow.
9. Make your messages judgement free. When you are speaking do not speak rudely or
impolitely about someone’s culture, religion or belief. It will demean your listener and may
affect your listener emotionally. As result, they will lose interest in the conversation.

2. Surround yourself with people who uplift you. Its important to realize that your inferiority
complex might be linked to the people around you. It might be your relatives, your friends at
college, your siblings or your colleagues.
3. Stop worrying about what other people think. One major cause of inferiority complexes is
constantly thinking about what others are thinking about us. We seek validation from them
for every action of ours. Sometimes we are thinking about their actions, while sometimes
we are imagining what they think. Disassociate yourself from their judgements. Its ultimately
your opinion about yourself that matters. When we feel good about ourselves, others feel
good about ourselves.
4. Do not be harsh on yourself. There is absolutely no need to be harsh on yourself. Practice
self-care. Love yourself. Be kind yourself. Do not over analyze situations. Do not expect
yourself to change overnight. Give yourself time to him! Practice positive self-talk.
Encourage yourself. Praise yourself for al the good traits that you have. People who have
an inferiority complex tend to do negative self-talk to themselves. Try to change the tone
and words that you use for yourself.
1. Stop comparing yourself to others. Whether you compare how you look to your friends on
income, comparisons, aren’t healthy. In fact, a 2018 study published in Personality and
Individual Difference found direct link between envy and the way you feel about yourself.
2. Surround yourself with positive people. Pay attention to how your friend make you feel. Do
you friends lift you up or bring you down? Are they constantly judging you or do they accept
you for who you are?

3. Take care of your body. It’s hard to feel good about yourself if you’re abusing your body. On
the other hand, if you practice self-care, you know you’re doing something positive for your
mind, body, and spirit, and you’ll naturally feel more confident.
4. Be kind to yourself. Self-comparison involves treating yourself with kindness when you
make a mistake, fail or experience a setback. It’s way of relating to yourself that allows you
to become more emotionally flexible and better able to navigate challenging emotions, and
enhances your connection to self and others.
5. Practice positive self-talk. Using self-talk that is optimistic can help you foster self-
compassion, overcome self-doubt, and take on new challenges. On he other hand, negative
self-talk can limit your abilities and lessen your confidence by convincing your subconscious
that you “can’t handle it” or that something is “too hard” and you “shouldn’t even try”.
6. Face your fears. Stop putting things off (like asking someone on a date or feel more
confident. The best way to build your confidence is by facing your fears head-on.

the table and knows more than others. They make all the decision with little input from team
members.

Fun activities that help people see each other in a different light allow them to
connect in a different setting. People on your team are asked to think about the implications
of these activities at their workplace.
One of the most powerful reasons for team building is to get results. Through a
series of planned team building that are fun and motivational, teams build skills like
communication, planning, problem-solving, and conflict resolution. These team building
activity ideas help to facilitate long-term team building through fostering genuine
connections, deeper discussions, and processing.
But conflicts aren’t always a bad thing. Conflicts can sometimes turn into constructive and
valuable work. Disagreements, especially, might arise if people diverse experience are
grouped rather than those with similar experience. The key to resolving such conflicts is
that people should be open to hear and accept diverse opinions and perspectives. If team
members can group their diverse opinions, skills and experience, they can achieve more
than a group formed on similar experiences.
9. Employees can acquire skills. Working in a team helps employees take on leadership roles
and see their team members fulfill their responsibilities. To perform and achieve their goal,
they need to arrive at a consensus before making any decision. This requires employees to
hold discussions, communicate, and actively listen to each other. Teamwork enables
problem-solving capabilities, strategizing, and decision-making skills. It also teaches team
members to hold responsibility and accountability for their decisions and actions.
10. Improves company culture. When team work together, it fosters creativity and innovation
ion the workplace. Employees communicate and collaborate more. This improves their
performance and efficiency, resolves conflicts and misunderstanding and makes people
more accepting towards each other. More people start getting recognized which motivates
them others to achieve more and better next time. This improves the company’s overall
bottom line and simultaneously foster a positive and motivation workplace culture.

V. LESSON CONTENT
Types of Intelligence
Theory of Multiple Intelligences
This theory suggest that traditional psychometric views of intelligence are too limited.
Gardner first outlined his theory in his 1983 book Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple
Intelligence, where he suggested that all people have different kinds of “intelligence”.
1. Visual-Spatial Intelligence. People who are strong in visual-spatial intelligence are good at
visualizing things. These individuals are often good with directions as well as maps, charts,
videos, and pictures.
2. Linguistic-Verbal Intelligence. People who are strong in linguistic-verbal intelligence are
able to use words well, both when writing and speaking. These individuals are typically very
good at writing stories, memorizing information, and reading.
3. Logical-Mathematical Intelligence. People who are strong in logical-mathematical
intelligence are good at reasoning, recognizing patterns, logically analyzing problems.
These individuals tend to think conceptually about numbers, relationship, and patterns.
4. Bodily-Kinesthetic Intelligence. Those who have bodily-kinesthetic intelligence are said to
be good at body movement performing actions and physical control. People who strong in
this area tend to have excellent in hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
5. Musical Intelligence. People who have strong intelligence are good at thinking in patterns,
rhythms, and sounds. They have a strong appreciation for music and are often good at
musical composition and performance.
6. Interpersonal intelligence. Those who have strong interpersonal intelligence are good at
understanding and interacting with other people. These individuals are skilled at assessing
the emotions, motivations, desires, and intentions of those around them.
7. Intrapersonal intelligence. Individuals who are strong in intrapersonal intelligence are good
at being aware of their own emotional states, feelings, and motivations. They tend to enjoy
self-reflection and analysis, including daydreaming, exploring relationship with others, and
assessing their personal strengths.
8. Naturalistic Intelligence. Naturalistic is the most recent addition to Gardner’s theory and has
been met with more resistance that his original seven intelligence. According to Gardner,
individuals who are high in this type of intelligence are more in tune with nature and are
often interested in nurturing, exploring the environment, and learning about others species.
These individuals are said to be highly aware of even subtle changes to their environments.
social living. Topics called “HOTS” Higher Order Thinking Skills” form of cognition-
concept formation, reasoning, problem solving, and creativity, as well as memory and
perception are related to human intelligence.
2. Human Intelligence is the ability to acquire, recall, and use knowledge to understand
concrete and abstracts concepts, relations among objects and ideas, and use
knowledge in a meaningful way.
a. Nature. How much does our intelligence depend on our genes? For more than a
century, researchers have been studying how much our genetic legacy influences
our intelligence. After all that time, they’ve determined that our genes do
influence intelligence and IQ. (40-80%)
b. Early Nutrition. As it turns out, really are what you eat. And what your mom ate
during her pregnancy. Prenatal and early nutrition are linked to brain structure,
behavior and yes intelligence. The greater nutrition is the foods we eat, especially
for males in the weeks just after birth, the greater the size of the caudate-that’s
the part of our brain that specializes in learning and memory-and the greater our
verbal IQ scores.
c. Birth Oder. People have been studying whether or not birth order affects human
intelligence for more than a century, yet were still not sure. For years, git was
believed that firstborns and older children in families were more intelligent
younger siblings.
d. Environment. We may be genetically predisposed to a certain brain volume,
structure and pathways-a certain level of intelligence set by our biology-but how
much we achieve isn’t based in biology alone. The type of life we lead also
affects intelligence. Environmental factors, such as the diet we eat, the toxins
we’re exposed to both in the womb and as we age, and even the neighborhood
we choose to live in be it dangerous or safe-all influence how genes are
expressed in our lives.

Stress Management
Stress is mental tension caused by demanding, taxing or burdensome
circumstances. Stress doesn’t just affect our mental state and mood; it affects our physical
health as well. When we are very stressed, a hormone called cortisol is released into our
bloodstream, suppressing the functioning of our immune, digestive and reproductive
systems. That is why it is so important to practice stress management in order to keep our
minds and bodies healthy.
Stress Management consist of making changes to your life if you are in a constant
stressful situation, preventing stress by practicing self-care and relaxation and managing
your response to stressful situations when they do occur.
b. Make a priority list. Prepare a list of tasks and rank them in order of priority.
Throughout the day, scan your master list and work on tasks in priority order. Say no
if you don’t have time to do a task.
c. Protect your time. For an especially important or difficult project, block time to work
on it without interruption. Also, break large projects into smaller steps.
4. Keep Perspective. When your job is stressful, it can feel as if it taking over your life. To
maintain perspective:
a. Get other points of view. Talk with trusted colleagues, family or friends about the
issues you’re lacking at work your feelings. They might be able to provide insights or
offer coping suggestions. Sometimes simply taking about a stressor can be relief.
b. Take a break. Make the most of workday breaks. Even a few minutes of personal
time during a busy workday can be refreshing. Similarly, take time off when you can,
whether it’s a two-week vacation or an occasional long weekend. Taking time to
relax can help you have more energy when you return to work.
c. Take care yourself. Be vigilant about taking care of your health. Include physical
activity in your daily routine, get plenty of sleep and eat a healthy diet. Try relaxation
techniques, such as yoga, meditation, mindfulness techniques and deep breathing.
Go outside for walk.
d. Make boundaries. Try to make small steps toward setting boundaries between work
and your life, such as not checking email in the evenings or weekends, not going
back to your computer in the evening, or keeping a standard work schedule. And set
aside time when you don’t use your phone or computer, such as not checking email,
texts, or social media.
Conflict Management
Introduction to Conflict Management
Conflict management is the practice of being able to identify and handle conflicts
sensibly, fairly, and efficiently. Since conflicts ion a business are a natural part of the
workplace, it is important that there are people who understand conflicts and know how to
resolve them. This is important in today’s market more than ever. Everyone is striving to
show how valuable they are to the company they work for and at times, this can lead to
dispute with other members of the team.
Levels of Conflict
The five levels of conflict are intrapersonal (within individual), intrapersonal (between
individuals), intragroup (with a group), intergroup (between groups), and intraorganizational
(within organizations).
1. Intrapersonal Conflict occurs within an individual, often involves some form of goal conflict
or cognitive conflict. Goal conflict exists for individuals when their behavior will result in
outcomes that are mutually exclusive or have compatible elements (both positive and
negative outcomes).
2. Interpersonal Conflict involves two or more individuals rather than one individual. Two
managers competing for the same promotion, two executives maneuvering for a larger
share of corporate capital examples of conflict individuals are legion and quite familiar.
Reasons:
1. Personality
2. Perceptions
3. Clashes of values and interests

3. Intragroup Conflict. A group experiencing intragroup conflict, may eventually resolve it,
allowing the group to reach a consensus. Or the group may not resolve the conflict, and the
group discussion may end in disagreement among the members.
4. Inter-group conflict. An organization is a collection of individuals and groups. As the
situation and requirements demand, the individuals from various groups. The success of
the organization as a whole depends upon the harmonically relations among all
interdependent groups, even though some intergroup conflicts in organizations is inevitable.
The idea is to study intergroup behaviors within an organization so that any conflict can be
recognized and dealt with the management.
5. Intra-organizational conflict. Four types of intra-organizational conflict exist: vertical conflict,
horizontal conflict, line staff and role conflict. Although these types of conflict can overlap,
especially with role conflict, each has distinctive characteristics.
a. Vertical conflict. Vertical conflict refers to any conflict between levels in an
organization; superior-subordinate conflict is one example. Vertical conflicts usually
arise because superiors attempt to control subordinates and subordinates.
b. Horizontal conflict. Horizontal conflict refers to conflict between employers or
departments as the same hierarchical level in an organization.
c. Line staff conflict. Most organizations have staff departments to assist the line
departments.
d. Role conflict. A role is the cluster of activities that others expect individuals to
perform in their position. A role frequently involves conflict.
Managing Conflicts
Except in very few situations where the conflict can lead to competition and creativity
so that in such situations the conflict can be encouraged, in all other case where conflict is
destructive in nature, it should be resolved as soon after it has developed as possible, but
all efforts should be made to prevent it from developing.
a. Goas structure. Goals should be clearly defined and the role and contribution of each
unit towards the organizational goal must be clearly identified. All units and the
individuals in these units much be aware of the importance of their role and such
importance must be fully recognized.
b. Reward system. The compensation system should be such that it does not create
individual competition or conflict within the unit. It should be appropriate and
proportionate to the group effort and reflect the degree of interdependence among units
where necessary.
c. Trust and communication. The greater is the next step to communication. Properly
coordinated activity reduce conflict. Wherever there are problems in coordination, a
special liaison office should be established to assist such coordination.
Time Management
Time management is the process of planning and controlling how much time to
spend on specific activities. Good time management enables an individual to complete
more in a shorter period of time, lowers stress, and leads to career success.

V: Public Speaking
Public speaking is a great way of building personality development on many levels,
since improving communication skills is helpful in almost every of life. Whether your goal is
to engage in political debate, make a career as a motivational speaker or gain confidence in
front of an audience, public speaking can help you meet your goal.
Benefits of Public Speaking
1. Career advancement. Effective public speaking skills can help with career advancement, as
they indicate creativity, critical thinking skills, leadership abilities, poise and professionalism,
qualities which are very valuable for the job market.
2. Boost confidence. Public speaking can significantly boost your confidence. Overcoming the
fears and insecurities that accompany public speaking is empowering. Furthermore,

connecting with audience can be a strong reminder that you have valuable insights and
opinions to share with the world.
3. Critical thinking. Public speaking is an excellent way to build critical thinking skills. Writing a
speech requires a great deal of careful thought, from the audience analysis to the closing
sentence. It’s not enough to have a message, you also need to figure out how to tailor the
message to fit the needs of your audience.
4. Personal development. Communication skills are crucial for personal and professional
success and improving this area is one of the greatest benefits of public speaking.
Preparing a speech forces speaker to take a step back and think critically about effective
ways to communicate. In everyday life, it’s easy to fall back on communication habits we
formed many years ago.
5. Improve communication skills. When you write a speech, you have to think carefully about
the best framework, persuasive strategy, and diction to communicate your message to the
audience. This type of thinking can help yocu improve your communication skills in other
areas of your life.
6. Make new social connections. Public speaking engagements are good places to meet other
people who share your interests. You’ll find that people approach you after your
presentation to engage in conversation. It makes it much easier to make new social
connections. Try to mingle with the audience for as long as you can after your speech,
answering questions and seeking perspectives on your topic.
7. Personal Satisfaction. Public speaking is a very common phobia, right up there with spiders
and heights. Many people would prefer to do almost anything instead of standing up and
talking in front a crowd of people. Delivering a speech can feel intimidating and risky.
8. Expand your professional network. Another benefit of public speaking is that when you
speak at an event, you will suddenly find that everyone wants to talk with you. This is
valuable opportunity for making friends, building business contacts and generating
business.
9. Develop your vocabulary and fluency. You’ll know the effect of the words you choose to
express your message and you’ll also know they need to be different for different
audiences. As well as having a flexible vocabulary, you’ll no longer use common fillers we
hear in everyday conversation indicating that the speaker may be unsure about what
they’re saying or anxious about speaking.
10. No fear of impromptu speaking. When called upon to say a few words at a moment notice
at a wedding, awards ceremony or other special occasion, your heart will not pound.
Instead you’ll find yourself graciously accepting the opportunity for an impromptu speech.
This is a huge benefit of public speaking and you’ll stop constantly worrying at formal
events about being asked to speak.
11. Be a better listener. Listening may be a lost art, but a public speaking course actually
teaches you to become a better listener. When you attend conferences, you’ll hear several
different types of speeches about a wide variety of topics, from people who may be very
different from you. This will passively build your listening ability and note taking.

endless ringing or send them to voicemail when you should’ve been able and ready to
reply.
2. Immediately introduce yourself. Upon picking up the phone, you should confirm with the
person whom they have called. In personal calls, it’s sufficient to begin with a “Hello” and let
the caller introduce themselves first. However, you want to allow the caller to know if
they’ve hit a wrong number, as well as whom they are speaking with.
3. Speak clearly. Phone calls, while a great option for those who detest in-person interaction,
do require very strong communication skills. For one, the person on the other end of the
line can only judge you based on your voice, since they don’t get to identify your body
language and hopefully-kind smile.
4. Only use speakerphone when necessary. We all know the traits of speakerphone. It’s
easier for you because you can use your hands to multitask. However, for the caller, it’s like
to hear one voice through a honking crowd of taxis in Manhattan-impossible and frustrating.
5. Active listen, and take notes. Speaking of paying attention to your customers, its essential
that you’re actively listening to them throughout the conversation. Actively listening means
hearing everything they have to say and basing response off their comments, rather than
using a prescribed script. This proves to your customers that you’re present and are
empathetic to their inconveniences.
6. Use proper language. A key difference between professional and personal phone calls is
obvious-the language. It might be acceptable to use slang and swears when talking on the
phone with your friends, but this kind of language can cause you to lose a customer for life.
7. Remain cheerful. You never know when a customer is having a bad day. When someone is
rude to you on the phone, your immediate reaction may be to put them in your place. First,
though, take a moment to step into their shoes and recognize why they’re so upset.
8. Ask before putting someone on hold or transferring a call. There’s often nothing more
infuriating than being put on hold. After waiting on hold for ten or fifteen minutes to speak
with a real-life human being, you finally get to explain your problem. Then you’re
immediately put back on hold and then transferred to someone else to whom you must re-
explain the whole problem. Talk about exhausting.
9. Be honest if you don’t know the answer. You might need to put a customer on hold or
transfer their call if the dreaded occurs- you don’t know the solution, perhaps you’ve tried
everything you can or simply have no idea what they’re talking about. Don’t panic; customer
support representatives are humans, too, and its okay not to be the omniscient voice of
reason.
10. Be mindful of your volume. You may be so focused on your phone call with a customer that
you’re barely paying attention your present setting. When working in a call center, things
can get pretty loud. You always want to be mindful of your volume and ensure that you’re
not disrupting the ability of your co-workers to speak to customers and get their work done.
11. Check for and respond to voicemails. It’s quite possible that a customer might reach out
you when you’re on a break or after you’ve left work for the day. If it’s possible for you to
receive voicemails, make sure you’re always checking for them. It’s easy for a voicemail to
slip under the radar, but the customer won’t easily forget.
2. Be aware of smells. Within a tight space smells can be magnified, so use consideration
when packing you lunch or snacks. Try to eat meals in the kitchen, break room or outside,
rather at your desk. Since many people have allergies to scents, forgo wearing perfumes,
cologne or strong after shave to the office. Pay attention your personal grooming as well.
Unfortunately, common sense is not so common anymore.
3. Keep noise and distractions to a minimum. Noisy conversations (either between workers or
on the telephone) or habits such as taping on the desk, fidgeting or getting up and down
can create an annoying distraction to those trying to concentrate. If you want to listen to
music, podcast or videos, use headphones or ear buds.
4. Be tidy. Your messy desk can be distraction to other and will detract from the professional
image your organization is trying to establish. Keep your belongings confined to your own
personal space and tidy up your immediate area each before leaving work. It you share a
desk, be sure to clear away any personal items like coffee cups and office supplies.
5. Respect another space. Just because another’s workspace is within each of your desk
doesn’t make it common domain. Treat each person’s space as if it was a private office. Do
not help yourself to anything on their desk or in their area. Ask first or go to the supply
closet if you need a pen or a stapler
6. Don’t come to work sick. When you work in close quarters, it easy to transfer germs. Stay
home if you are sick. It’s good hygiene to cover your mouth you cough, keep hand sanitizer
on hand, don’t leave used tissues around, and wipe down the desk, computer keyboard and
phone from time to time to help prevent germs from spreading.
7. Be considerate. Respect is key when working in an open-office environment. Act respectful
and expect others to act in the same way. Set rules of conduct and reiterate boundaries
when they are crossed. It’s best to address problems and concerns directly and
diplomatically before they escalate.
8. Be tolerant. The open-office environment brings together myriad personalities, with different
styles. Be tolerant of these differences and find ways to adapt. Everyone is not going to
agree with you one hundred percent of the time. Keep an open mind listen with the intent to
learn and focus on the positive aspect of your job.
9. Think like a team. In order to maintain a cohesive do not spread gossip, cause another to
feel like an outcast, or grumble petty things. Hold regular meetings to set goals, share ideas
and talk about concerns.

case we violate these rules, we must be prepared to suffer the consequences of our actions
and take the corresponding sanctions.
Cooperation
A good citizen is always ready to help and cooperate with other members of the
society. The spirit of bayanihan runs in our bloodstream. Cooperation is certainly a
necessity especially in this age of globalization which calls for the nation to move as one as
it completes with the rest of the world.
Patriotism and Nationalism
Patriotism refers to one’s love of country, while nationalism refers to one’s love of his
countrymen. As good citizens, we must always ready to fight for the freedom and honor of
both our motherland and countrymen. We can also show our love by appreciating its
beauty, protecting its environment and fulfilling our duties and obligation as citizens.
PHILOSOPHIES OF LIFE
An individual’s personal philosophy is his way looking at the world and the people
around him. His personal philosophy is one of the most fundamental elements of his being,
for it enters into his thinking, his emotions, his actions and reactions.
Some people do not have only one philosophy or way of thinking. They may be
electric, meaning they partake of several philosophies.
circumstances. Events, ideas, people, environment, and that the interaction among all
these things is the basis of reality. The pragmatism is concerned with change, for
experience is never static. An individual’s right to his personal philosophy must be
respected and what he does if taken in the light of that philosophy, becomes more
understandable. If one can do this, his ability to get along with people and consequently, his
chances of improving his own personality will be greater. A person values is based on his
philosophy-the things he considers to be of worth and importance. Other factors that
influence a person’s choice of values is his cultural tradition into which he was worn, the
values of the society in which he moves. One may value money, power, and others a
combination of all of these.
1. Wardrobe Improvement. Pay more attention (and money, if necessary) to what you wear,
how you coordinate various fashion items, colors, etc. make the best fashion statement
possible.
2. Hairstyle, cosmetics. Spend more time with your hairstyle, facial appearance, etc.
3. Looking healthy. Devote time to an exercise program. Anything that will create a healthier
appearance. Include posture, dental care, weight control and diet.
4. Being yourself. Refuse to be over-influenced by other and the media. Stay with your own
idea of what your image should be. Be different in the way you want to be different.
5. Image-attitude connection. Accept the premise that your attitude will suffer if you don’t keep
a good self-image. Even if you don’t care about how other think you look, care about how
you look to yourself because it is important to your own attitude.
Assertive behavior
Many people think that being assertive is pushing for his or her own way, refusing to
give an inch. Others think of someone who is stubborn on certain issues. This is not so.

to be more important than our own. Nonassertive behavior helps create win-lose situations.
A person behaving non-assertively will lose while allowing others to win. Following this road
leads to being a victim, not a winner.
Aggressive behavior is more complex. It can be either or passive. Aggression can be
direct or indirect, honest or dishonest-but it always communicates an impression of
superiority and disrespect. By being aggressive we put our wants, needs and rights above
those of others. Assertive behavior is active, direct, and honest. It communicates an
impression of self-respect and respect for others. By being assertive, we view our wants,
needs, and rights are equal with those of others. We work toward a win-win outcome. An
assertive person wins by influencing, listening and negotiating so that other choose to
cooperate willingly. This behavior leads to success without retaliation and encourages
honest, open relationships.

many ways you can use resume samples, there are three main takeaways you should look
for:
1. Make is simple and easy to read. Resume samples are simple and straightforward. This is
because employees have a minimal amount of time to review your resume, so readability is
key. This also means selecting a professional, clean font.
2. Make it brief. You’ll notice that each selection of the resume sample is short and to-the-
point, including the summary and experience descriptions. Including only the most key and
relevant information means employers are able to consume more information about you,
and more quickly understand your fitness for the role.
3. Include numbers. You might also notice that there are often metrics included in the
experience section of resume samples. This is because employees are highly responsive to
measurable proven value. Numbers allow them to better understand the value you may
bring to the position.
Include only the most relevant information and put the most import information first.
While you might have extensive work or educational experience, it’s important to keep your
resume as brief as possible without leaving out key information. Hiring message don’t
spend a lot of time reading each resume. Research has shown that hiring managers tend to
spend only 6 seconds per resume. If your resume includes old or irrelevant information,
such as jobs held over 10 years or minor degrees and achievements, it may distract from
key information.
Use active language. Your resume should be written using active language without
extraneous words. This means using power words such as achieved, earned, completed or
accomplished. If your resume is too long or sems hard to read, you might consider making
sentence shorter or ideas more concise.
Call attention to important achievements. Instead of listing your job duties under the
experience section, select your top three most important achievements in each role you’ve
held. Where possible, include numbers that measure your success for that particular goals
or achievement. You might also consider including a separate achievements or skills
section to specifically highlight relevant achievements in your education, career, volunteer
work or other experiences.
Only include subheading and sections you need. Whether you’re using a resume
template or creating your own you may find there are some recommended sections you do
not need. For example, you may need a resume summary or a resume objective, but you
should not include both. If you are just graduating from college or high school and have not
yet held a professional position, do not include an empty work history section. Instead, you
might replace the experience section with relevant coursework, academic achievements
and other experiences like internships or extracurricular projects.

sides of your resume with single spaces between the lines. If you have too much with
space, you might consider making your lines spaced by 1.15 or 1.5. you can also increase
your margins if you find it is difficult to fill your resume, but they should below two inches.

proofreading to ensure there are no spelling or grammar errors. While there are several
proofreading programs and tools you can use, it is also helpful to ask trusted friends or
colleagues to review your resume. It is helpful for an objective third party to look at your
resume as an employer might to find ways you can correct or improve it.
