RE C A P From your last module, you learned about confidentiality in the workplace and conflict resolution. Suppose you work in a police station or a law firm and signed a confidentiality agreement regarding all their cases at hand, suddenly your friend who was a suspect to a crime asked you for some documents that are in your office’s possession that may help him in his case. How would you deal with the situation? Briefly write your reaction to this scenario. __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ LESSON One of the duties and responsibilities of the Work Immersion students is to prepare the documentations and reports required in the curriculum and by the partner institution. It is assumed that after your work immersion, you either study in college or land for a job. When you start applying for a job, you will realize that more often than not, a college degree is not enough for you to be qualified. Nowadays, employers are usually looking for a “complete” package; not only you should be competent in your chosen field, but you should also be able to exhibit a pleasing personality and above average speaking and writing skills. Although these may not be directly related to your job, these can surely facilitate effective communication both within the workplace and potential clients. One of the most important aspects of workplace communication involves the reading and writing of on-the-job texts. These are treated as official company documents because of this, they should be treated with utmost care. Resume is a short document used to summarize a job seeker’s experience and qualifications for a prospective employer. It includes the job seeker’s contact information, work experience, education, and relevant skills in support of a job application. Through this record of both your personal background and accomplishments, it helps the employers to evaluate whether you are qualified for a particular job or not.  Follow instructions exactly, it may ask for BLOCK CAPITALS in some sections.  Answer the questions fully, using sentences where possible.  Write your address in full, not forgetting the post code.  Make sure you list all course and qualifications. List examinations taken or about to be taken. Enter estimated grades if known.  Complete the section on previous employment by entering part-time jobs, paid or voluntary, and your work experience placement.  Include the things you enjoy doing in your spare-time in the interests and activities section.  Use the opportunity to sell yourself in the section which asks for further information. Try to relate your strengths to the skills and qualities that the employer will be looking for.  Check if your application is accurate and has no misspelled words.  Keep a copy of your application form for future reference.  Use your Personal Education Plan (PEP)/progress file and action plan to help you complete the form.  Return your application form promptly – there is often a closing date for receipt of applications.  Don’t leave blank spaces, write ‘not applicable’ (N/A for short) or none to questions that do not apply to you. Besides resume and application forms, you will also need other documents such as: Barangay clearance, Police clearance, mayor’s clearance and medical certificate. How do you get them? You have to visit the barangay hall, and other offices where they are being processed. What is Barangay Clearance? This certificate is usually requested for employment requirements, ID application, supporting documents in application to government agencies, supporting documents to medical certificates, Affidavits, and whenever any office requests or requires it. The certificate is signed by the Barangay Chairman. Stamped and sealed with the official Barangay Seal. Barangay Clearance Requirements: Recent Cedula (Community Tax Certificate) Application Form Application Fee (may vary depending on the Barangay, some barangays charge fee) Valid ID Steps in securing the Barangay Certificate (may vary in different barangays) 1. Look for the location of entrance especially during this new normal. 2. Wait for temperature check. 3. Log in and get a number. 4. Wait until your number is called. 5. Fill out a given request slip. 6. Wait again until your clearance is signed by the Barangay Chairman. Your name will be again called. 7. No fee is collected unless for business purposes. What is Police Clearance? Police Clearance is a document issued to a person to prove and certify that he/she is free and cleared from any case, liability, crime, offense, and bad record in the local town or municipality he/ she is currently residing. The Police Department or PNP Station is authorized to issue this certificate to any individual under its jurisdiction. Police Clearance is usually requested when you apply for a job either local or abroad or when you need to show some supporting documents in applying for an ID like passport or when a government agency or any office requires it. Police clearance is valid for 6 months while NBI is valid for one year. Mayor’s Clearance Individuals need to secure a Mayor’s Clearance before they can apply for a firearms license. People seeking employment are sometimes also required to secure the same. This is especially true of applicants to the Philippine National Police (PNP). Some schools and overseas employment agencies require their students/recruits to secure a Certificate of Good Moral Character before they are allowed to enroll or apply. REQUIREMENTS: Original Copy of Police Clearance Latest Community Tax Certificate Official Receipt from the Municipal Treasury Office Steps: 1. Filing / Recording of request.

Obtaining a Medical Certificate It is so important for medical practitioners to keep in mind their legal and professional responsibilities when issuing medical certificates. When issuing a medical certificate, it must be honest and not misleading. Practitioners may only sign medical certificates they believe, to be completely accurate. This means the medical certificate must be based on facts known to the doctor. Many doctors require a consultation before providing a medical certificate. This includes the practitioner’s own observations as well as information provided by the patient. Any medical statements in the certificate must have a factual basis. With this being said, medical practitioners may decline to issue a certificate. This may occur if they do not consider that absence from work is necessary given the nature of the illness. This could also be if a certificate is requested retrospectively. The practitioner must be confident about the facts of the matter. What should be included in a medical certificate? In order to be considered valid, documentation of a medical certificate must include:  Being in the form of an official, original & hard copy document.  The name and address of the practitioner issuing the certificate are clearly stated.  Date of the certificate is written and signed by the practitioner.  Date of the medical examination.  The condition of degree of incapacity of the patient.  Date the medical practitioner considers the patient is likely to be recovered.  Be addressed to the party requiring the certificate as evidence of illness, for example, an employer, insurer or magistrate.
