This module discusses helping learners discover their "Version 2.0" self and their future career. It involves learners doing an activity where they draw symbols representing their current track, future job, and other career-related aspects on a drawing of their hand. This allows them to reflect on how prepared they are for the future. The module emphasizes developing skills like work ethics, personality, and understanding rights/responsibilities for both employees and employers. It discusses intrinsic and extrinsic motivators and how learners' goals and personalities can help meet societal needs through their chosen careers. Learners are guided to recognize factors that will help them transition successfully from school to work.
Congratulations, your students are now ready to develop plans for their chosen career and implement them!
From the previous session, they were able to identify their strengths and weaknesses, and analyzed opportunities and threats that run with them.

Introduction to Career Planning
In the lecture preceding this tutorial you will have seen an outline of the career planning process and the significant benefits to you of doing some initial career planning in your first year of study. Some of the benefits include:
· Increasing the chances of getting a job that matches your important life needs, and which uses the areas of skill and knowledge you’d prefer to be using, rather than just any job.
· Being able to make more informed choices about the selection of your sub-major at the end of this first year.
· The ability to develop and extensively research, over time, a targeted list of your ideal employers. As a res ...
This module is about helping the learners identify the skills and abilities that will help them in determining the most realistic profession and career for them.
The learners’ knowledge of their skills and abilities will enable them to easily make career decisions that match their potentials and expertise. Facilitating the learners’ skills assessment will aid them in making career choices that will empower them to maximize the available local and foreign opportunities after they exit from the senior high school curriculum.
There are many career options to choose from, so senior high schoolers like you must learn to manage your choice of career or life goal. When you encounter challenges that somehow affect you from reaching your goal, do not give up. Just as career options are numerous, so are the possible ways of addressing the tests that come along with the preferred career. The same is true when we encounter challenges that hinder us to reach our dreams. For each of the challenges identified in the attainment of your career choice, let us identify possible ways to address them.
This module will guide you in applying your abilities and maximizing your resources in deciding for your career. It will also make you realize that there are many factors that affect and in a way, strengthen you decision making for a career choice.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Version of Me 2.0
Introduction
This module entitled “Version of Me 2.0” refers to the individual who is discovering the
real Version of Me 2.0, that can be awesome in his/her own way and able to manifest greatness
in pursuing a lifelong career. It is a transition from school to the curriculum exits that the learner
will plan for the future job, that he/she will be productive and persistently sustain in the real
world of work―that’s the real version of me 2.0.
In order to figure out how learners will work with Me 2.0, the learners should understand
who they are and how they function well. This will be a great help to our learners to be aware
and be guided on what they want to become, who they want to be, and know where to begin.
What traits will learners possess that they can be proud of? No matter where the learners are or
what moment they are in, let us take this module and learn things forward together.
Time Allotment: 120 minutes
Materials
paper
ball pen
something that represents “My Future Job”
“My Future Job” and my list of Friends’ Future Jobs
“My Hand Version 2.0” Transition Worksheet (back to back)
“Version of Me 2.0” sheet (Feet)
I. Objectives
At the end of the session, the learners are expected to:
1. identify the rights and responsibilities of the employees and employers;
2. determine the aspects considered in planning for life and career; and
3. relate the chosen career to the needs of the society.
II. Motivation (15 minutes)
Activity: Me and My Future Job
This activity will encourage the students to be motivated to pursue their future job
that they want or dream about. In this activity, the students will learn more facts about
their future jobs as they will be sharing from what they have learned from the assignments
given to them in Module 4 and Module 5.

2. Module 7 Page 99
Directions:
1. Ask the class to find a partner (dyad).
2. Give Activity sheet no. 1 and have them write the name of their partner. (See Appendix 1.)
3. Each partner will introduce himself/herself; present his her symbol; name what job
represents his/her symbol; and what contribution to the society that job could give.
4. Learners will write the information in the worksheet then find another partner who will do
the procedures in no. 3.
5. Learners will gather as many as he/she can within an allotted time of five minutes. He/She
then will give his/her paper to the Teacher for validation.
6. The learner with the more names and information listed in the worksheet is the winner.
Synthesis:
Questions help clarify the situation. Questions put learners on the spot, where they have
to think―and thinking is always a good thing for everybody. Questions help learners clarify their
thoughts. Questions demand answers and require the situation to be thought through, to its
logical conclusions.
With this process, the learner will be able to decide better about their career goals.
III. Main Activity (20 minutes)
The main activity is based on the motivational activity and from the modules in Grade
10 and Grade 11. This activity focuses mainly on the process of transition of the learners
from school to the four curriculum exits and where they will find themselves in the
workplace that corresponds to their curriculum exit. This is taking into the hands of the
learners the realities they have to face once they set into the real world of work. In the
realm of work, learners will have to recognize work ethics and work values they have to
imbibe, including improving their personality in order to succeed in whatever career they
pursue.
Rationale
Our hands are very important parts of our body. The hands symbolize how an
individual works. A lot of memories are found in our hands, just like a scar somewhere in
the finger that reminds you of a time when you were chopping wood for fire, or helping
your mother prepare for dinner. Or it may be a scar from heated oil that scratched your
hand while frying fish. It may also be a callus on the hand that reminds you how
hardworking you are, such as when you go farming, wash clothes, and do household chores
for your family.
The brain serves as the master that the hand may follow (doer). This simply states
that our hand acts what the brain commands; as both are working together. As such, an
individual should have balance in work ethics and in work values in order to achieve
success in life.
3. Module 7 Page 100
Procedure:
1. Each learner shall be provided with a piece of paper;

6. Module 7 Page 103
Note to the Teacher:
Ask the learners to volunteer to answer the three questions and synthesize this to connect to the
lecturette.
Synthesis
Senior high school is a transition period or passage from one stage to another until the
learners reach their chosen career goal. There are important factors to consider in reaching the
chosen career goal. One is by exposing oneself to the world of work in order to get a taste of what
it takes to be working and to become workers. By exposing themselves to the real world of work
through work immersion, learners slowly learn and develop within themselves the work
principles and work values. As such, once they themselves are in the realm of real work, they
would know the rules and become exemplars of other coworkers in terms of practice of work
ethics and work values.
Note to the Teacher:
The definitions that follow are for the consumption of the teachers in preparation for the
lecturette.
Definitions of Terms
Conformity is a type of social influence involving a change in belief or behavior in order to fit in
a group.
Motivation is literally the desire to do things. It is the difference between waking up before dawn
to pound the pavement and lazing around the house all day. It is the crucial element in setting
and attaining goals—and research shows you can influence your own levels of motivation and
self-control. So figure out what you want, power through the pain period, and start being who
you want to be.
Personal development covers activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents
and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance the quality of life and
contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.
Personality development is the relatively enduring pattern of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors
that distinguish individuals from one another. The dominant view in the field of personality
psychology today holds that personality emerges early and continues to change in meaningful
ways throughout the lifespan.
Expectancy theory (or expectancy theory of motivation) proposes an individual will behave
or act in a certain way because they are motivated to select a specific behavior over other
behaviors due to what they expect the result of that selected behavior will be.
Two-factor theory (also known as Herzberg's motivation-hygiene theory and dual-factor
theory) states that there are certain factors in the workplace that cause job satisfaction, while
a separate set of factors cause dissatisfaction.
7. Module 7 Page 104
Trait theory (also called dispositional theory) is an approach to the study of human personality.
Trait theorists are primarily interested in the measurement of traits, which can be defined
as habitual patterns of behavior, thought, and emotion.
Operational Definition:
Work ethics is the guiding principle of correct working.
Work values is imbibing the guiding principle of correct working.
Goal motivator is a personal or hygiene motivation adopted from Hernsberg’s motivation
theory.
Return of Investment (ROI) is the human capital with work ethics who became productive and
efficient towards work.
IV. Lecturette (30 minutes)
“A life that not lived for others is not a life.” – Mother Teresa
The activity “My Hand Version 2.0” has something to do with the individual’s life, the
learner’s future career. The symbolic hand interprets how the individual works. The realization
of the learners chosen career with its work ethics, work values and personality that fits him/her
to their career goal.
In the future workplace, it is important for the learner to know the duties and
responsibilities of both employees and employers. (Refer to appendices 1 and 2.)
As the learner experiences education from the school, his interest is in future career
progresses. According to Gestalt, (here and now theory) the experience of the learner has
a strong influence that he could learn and develop his work ethics and work values in the
process of learning specific knowledge and skills towards his chosen career. These are the
factors that employers are looking for in an applicant (learner). Aside from the intellectual
part of the learner, another important aspect to consider in the lifelong career planning is
the personality of the learner.
The learner’s personality is an asset not just in the future workplace, but in everyday
living. Most if not all, employers highlight “pleasing personality” from an applicant.
Personality is progressive and developmental. The personality of the learner has been
recognized from Module 1 to Module 6. And as the modules progress, the learners’
personality also improves as it is enhanced in every module. Whether the learner will
decide to be employed, pursue college degree, make a business, or just stop moving forward
to its career advancement, that learner has his own unique personality.
8. Module 7 Page 105
Personality Development essentially means enhancing and grooming one’s outer and
inner self to bring about a positive change to one’s life. Each individual has a distinct
persona that can be developed, polished and refined.
Improving personality and Image is a reproduction or a mental picture of you as seen
as others. People react to you based on the way you present yourself, the way you look,
speak and behave. If you act defensively, you invite attacks. If you act strong and confident,
people will respond to you with respect and deference (Santos, 1984). Some Filipino men
and women generally appear overly modest and shy. Instead of behaving assertively, they
behave too submissively, they let the situation appear to be controlling them.
According to the study of Bencsik, et al., on the Relationship between Motivation and
Personality type, is proven that there is a significant relationship between the known and
accepted (attractive) goal of work its value and employee satisfaction. These relations are
factors that reinforce intrinsic motivation.
It is significant to note that the determined aspects (factors) that the learners have
considered in planning for life and career like the goal motivators of the leaner has to be
recognized since this factors that will lead him to his career success that could address to
the need of the society or may lead him halt him from career advancement to meet the
need of the society.
Here are some factors that made the learners what they are now: Where are they
were from? Are they from city or from a small town? What were their past experiences,
particularly in your family? The way they respond to people is a result of the way you
respond to your family members-especially your parents in your formative years.
The learner in this module would recognize its motivators as intrinsic and extrinsic
motivators in order to move forward to the next level and even to sustain their lifelong
career goals. Intrinsic motivators are internal variables within the individual give rise to
motivation and behavior. Example is the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory.
According to Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs an individual first have to satisfy
its basic Psychological needs (food, shelter and clothing) before the individual takes the
second step with it is up to the next need level which is the Safety and Security, then the
need of Belongingness (to love and to be loved), then the need of Esteem (Self-esteem) and
the Self-actualization of which is the highest need of a person.
While a process motivator emphasizes the nature of the interaction between the
individual and the environment. Examples of valued outcomes in the workplace include
pay increases and bonuses, promotions, time off, new assignments, recognition, and many
more.
Another external motivator to consider which focuses on environmental elements to
explain behavior is the motivator itself. Motivators are more concerned with the actual job
itself. For instance how interesting the work is and how much opportunity it gives for extra
responsibility, recognition and promotion. According to Hernzberg, hygiene factors are
9. Module 7 Page 106
factors which 'surround the job' rather than the job itself. For example a worker will only
turn up to work if a business has provided a reasonable level of pay and safe working
conditions but these factors will not make him work harder at his job once he is there.
To relate the chosen career to the needs of the society, the learner requires to process
himself/herself to change and take the balance in order to fit in and address the need of
the society.
The individual in the society is the learner who carries with him/her the factors that
will in able him/her to fit to the needs of the society. The learner’s factors are his/her work
values, skills, knowledge, personal qualities, enhanced personality, work ethics and not
limited to friendliness, approachable, genuineness, warmth and many more. An individual
develops and functions within the environmental context.
It is also important to note that as the learners move forward to their career goals
they need to recognize their own core work values and work ethics as well as recognizing
other learners work values and work ethics to work harmoniously as one team (senior high
school). The learners will encounter themselves in the same situation as they exit to work,
to have a business, to college, to middle career job and even if they halt to advance their
career. The learners have already learned how to cope and adjust themselves with the
changing career environment.
The process of this module is for the leaners’ goal is to recognize one’s knowledge,
skills, qualities (personality), values (personal values) and work ethics is to get the desired
career goal and to learn how to sustain in his/her desired curriculum exits to be able to
address to the need of the community and to the society as well.
Module 5 mentioned about ROI (Return of Investment) of which is not limited to
monetary investment. The individual learner with its work ethics and work values in the
future workplace may sustain and even be promoted to a higher position. As the quote
goes “As long as you’ve got passion, faith, and are willing to work hard, you can
do anything and have anything you want in this world.” – Unknown
It is important to note that, while learner’s work values play an essential role in their
career choice, they should not consider them in isolation. Learners may also look at their
other traits including personality type, interests, and aptitudes. It is then when learners
when l find themselves in a Better Jobs Fit equals better success and satisfaction that sustain
them in the position (Frank Parson, 1908).
Version of Me 2.0 then is a process that the learner will become ready not just in the
workplace but in everyday encounter. The learner then is ready to fit in himself to an
organization. Consider the My Version 2.0 – will now be a marketable person to its lifelong
career.

V. Application (20 minutes)
Activity: Human Knot
Objective: Untangle the Knot
Lessons: Responsibility, Accountability, Coordination, Sensitivity, Communication Skills,
Critical Thinking; Solve Problems; Solve different kinds of non-familiar problems in
both conventional and innovative ways; Contextual Learning; Flexibility;
understand, negotiate and balance diverse views and beliefs to reach workable
solutions (conflict management), particularly in multi-cultural environments
What to Do:
1. Have all 10 learners stand in a circle, facing inward.
2. Tell everyone to reach their right arm towards the center and grab someone else's hand.
Make sure no one grabs the hand of the person right next to them.
3. Next, have everyone reach their left arm in and grab someone else's hand (they are now
representing a human knot).
4. The learners are free to make their strategy on how to untangle their knot (it is expected
that the group will not let go of once hand while untangling the knot but realizing each-
others’ hand just enough to turn around).
5. Note: To make the game more challenging, tell the learners not to talk while they are
untangling the human knot.
6. The learners will do the activity in five minutes.
Processing Questions:
1. Relating to the chosen career, what have you learned from the activity?
2. What was your strategy behind that you were are to untangled the knot?
3. What difficulty have you encountered while your group was untying that human knot?
4. How were you able to cope with the difficulties in the process?
5. How will you relate this activity with your real life challenges?
Synthesis:
In our everyday life, we often encounter unique personalities who can inspire our day or
just make our day. The Knots symbolize our everyday life struggles. To make things easier for
us to handle, it is suggested that we take our day one at a time, stay positive, and avoid toxic
people if you think these people will just put you down.
The choice is with you to take. Remember, life is wonderful when we live joyfully and
harmoniously. By sharing our blessings with other people, success is in our reach.
“Live life without fear, confront all obstacles and show them.”

Appendix 5
Positive Work Ethics
Work ethics can be defined as a set of values, which involves the right approach, attitude,
precise behavior, respect for others and lively communication.
Basically, work ethics normalize what an employee would do in different situations in office
premises.
The habit of following good work ethics is inherent - it comes from within. It involves our
morality and other values, apart from what our parents have taught us.
Workers revealing good work ethics are considered suitable for better positions and more
responsibilities. Hence, it becomes important to be honest, responsible and dependable.
Positive Work Beliefs
Honesty: The old adage, "honesty is the best policy" is true today more than ever. Any job
assigned to a person should be done with utmost honesty, without double-dealing, untruthful or
larceny. Employee business ethics manuals from most scandalized corporations are likely to
contain slogans touting its commitment to honesty and integrity at work.
Integrity at Work: Integrity implies strength and stability. It means taking the high road by
practicing the highest business ethics standards. Representing integrity in the workplace shows
wholeness and reliability in a person's character and in an organization. It shows that person
have solid workplace behavior ethics that matter in the real world that promote positive work
ethics.
Dependability: Those who are dependable are considered reliable as well. Hence, it is necessary
to develop the quality of being a responsible person. This will, in turn, nurture brilliant results
and set you as a good example for those around you.
Responsibility: Accusing others, claiming victimhood, or passing the buck mays solve short-
term crises, but refusal to take responsibility corrodes respect and unity in an organization.
Ethical people take responsibility for their actions. Workplace stress issues are no excuse.
Likewise, actions show the ability to be responsible both in the little and big things. Good work
ethics show a deeper promise to personal responsibility.
Trust: There's no free drive to good work ethics. Trust is hard to earn and even harder to get
back after you've lost it. Everyone who comes in contact with you or your company must have
trust and confidence in how you do business ethics. Conflicts of interest in the workplace must
not be on your detector display.
23. Module 7 Page 120
Respect: Respect is more than a feeling, but a demo of honor, value, and admiration for
something or someone. We respect the laws, the people we work with, the company and its
assets, and ourselves.
Teamwork: Always remember that you are a part of the team, no matter what role you play in
it. Do what is not only good for you, but also, beneficial for the team as a whole. It is a business
necessity to work openly and supportively in teams whether formal or informal. You need each
other for effective problem solving in the work place.
Efficiency: Efficiency is vital for a person's own growth as well as the improvement of the
company he is working with. It is very easy to spot inefficient employees, who waste a lot of time
and resources. However, efficiency is still a hallmark of good workers.
Quality: Quality should be more than making the best product, but should extend to every aspect
of your work. A person who recognizes quality and strives for it daily has a profound sense of
self-respect, pride in accomplishment, and attentiveness that affects everything. From your
memos to your presentations, everything you touch should communicate professionalism and
quality. Don't let workplace stress issues rob you of striving for quality in everything you do.
Modesty: Humbleness and modesty are amongst the essential elements of good work ethics.
Only a dupe is arrogant, while a wise person always shows behaviors of humility.
Leadership: A leader is out front providing an example that others will follow. Problem solving
in the work place must be your first response. The real test of these values comes from the
resulting action. It takes a concerted, company-wide effort, beyond inserting these words in an
employee manual, to make it happen.
Positive Work Habits: Inculcate good working habits that will impress the people you are
working with and your superiors as well. Coming to work late, dressing inappropriately and
shuffling jobs are considered as signs of not following good work ethics.
Initiative: To be successful in whatever you do, it is vital to take initiatives on your part. Don't
wait to be told what to do. If you are doing the right thing in an acceptable manner, do not
hesitate to take initiatives.
Positive Attitude: Maintaining a positive attitude at work is very important to complete your
tasks successfully. This is because your coworkers get affected by your trait and respond
accordingly.

Duties and Responsibilities of Employees and Employers
Mechanical engineers create solutions and solve problems, playing a central role in the design
and implementation of moving parts in a range of industries
Mechanical engineers provide efficient solutions to the development of processes and
products, ranging from small component designs to extremely large plant, machinery or vehicles.
They can work on all stages of a product, from research and development to design and
manufacture, through to installation and final commissioning.
Most industries rely on a form of mechanical systems and mechanical engineering is
thought to be one of the most diverse of all engineering disciplines. Due to this, there are
employment opportunities in a range of sectors, including:
aerospace
automotive
biomedical
construction
manufacturing
power
railway.
Mechanical engineers can be involved in the management of people, projects and resources,
as well as the development and use of new materials and technologies.
Responsibilities
Projects that mechanical engineers work on can vary significantly, from researching and
developing medical products (such as mechanical hearts), to improving production processes in
large oil refineries or designing services within buildings.
Across all sectors, your tasks generally include:
designing and implementing cost-effective equipment modifications to help improve safety
and reliability
developing a project specification with colleagues, often including those from other
engineering disciplines
developing, testing and evaluating theoretical designs
discussing and solving complex problems with manufacturing departments, sub-contractors,
suppliers and customers
making sure a product can be made reliably and will perform consistently in specified
operating environments
managing projects using engineering principles and techniques
planning and designing new production processes
producing details of specifications and outline designs
recommending modifications following prototype test results
using research, analytical, conceptual and planning skills, particularly mathematical
modelling and computer-aided design
25. Module 7 Page 122
considering the implications of issues such as cost, safety and time constraints
working with other professionals, within and outside the engineering sector
monitoring and commissioning plant and systems.
Working hours
Working hours typically include regular extra hours, but not usually weekends or shifts.
Self-employment and freelance work are possible for qualified engineers with a good track record
and experience. Short-term contract or consulting work is also possible, often arranged through
agencies.
Employers
Mechanical engineers can find employment in a huge range of sectors; mechanical
engineering has usually played a part in almost all the products and services we see around us.
Employers of mechanical engineers include:
aerospace and automotive industries
the armed forces and the Ministry of Defence, e.g. the Defence Engineering and Science Group
(DESG)
construction and building services
energy utilities, including nuclear
engineering consultancies
government agencies
manufacturing industries
medical engineering
oil and gas industries, including petrochemical industries
process industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and cosmetics
the public sector, including the Civil Service, local authorities, hospitals and educational
institutions
research establishments, both academic and commercial
sports engineering
transport, including road and railways.
Recruitment agencies advertise vacancies and handle contract vacancies, particularly for
experienced engineers.
Professional development
It is possible to enter the engineering industry through a graduate training scheme. If you
do this, you will complete a structured course of training, which usually involves working within
a variety of disciplines.
It is likely that you will work towards gaining chartered engineer status (CEng), which is
an internationally-recognised qualification awarded by the Engineering Council.
With CEng status you have higher earning potential and improved career prospects.
26. Module 7 Page 123
You will need to be a member of a professional institution so that you can apply through
them for professional registration. Relevant bodies include:
IET
IMechE.
The process of becoming chartered is more straightforward if you have an accredited
bachelors degree, along with a Masters or an accredited integrated MEng degree. To see which
qualifications are accredited see the Engineering Council.
Some employers will offer opportunities to study for a part-time MSc in a relevant subject.
You will also need to demonstrate that you are working at a particular level and have the
required professional competences and commitment.
Most large firms offer structured training and encourage continuing professional
development (CPD). Usually, firms offer in-service training and short courses for specific needs.
This may include placements in different departments to widen your experience.
Some employers are unable to provide broad training opportunities themselves, and it is
worth checking what arrangements they have in place.
CPD can be aided by joining one of the professional bodies, such as IMechE or IET, which
offer support through structured CPD programmes. They also run events, courses and
conferences.
Career prospects
Most careers in engineering lead to a senior position with responsibility for other staff or
larger projects and budgets.
Gaining chartered status (CEng) is a significant help in career progression. It will be proof
that you have met a UK and international standard of experience and knowledge in the
engineering profession. More information is available at Engineering Council - Chartered
Engineer.
As companies operate in an increasingly international market, the European engineer (Eur
Ing) status and additional language skills will become a distinct advantage if you wish to progress
further in the profession.
All chartered engineers are eligible to apply for Eur Ing status. See Engineering Council -
European Engineer.
You may decide to develop additional skills, such as business or management, so that you
can get involved with larger projects and take on greater responsibility.
Good commercial awareness is essential for career development, as well as developing
people management skills, as it is likely you will be required to lead teams or manage projects.
You may be able to move into business functions, such as procurement, sales and
marketing or human resources (HR). Once you have developed your technical skills, you can
move into senior engineering posts, such as engineering director.

Appendix 7
Improving One’s Personality
Early in life, one’s personality is already revealed, however, experiences, education and
situations modify them at such length. It can be improved by constantly evaluating checking on
our behavior and accepting challenges and opportunities to modify a personality for the better.
Techniques to improve it:
1. Know yourself. Make an honest to goodness personality check.
2. Be willing to develop a strong desire to change for the better
3. Set a checklist of the good and bad or strong and weak points and make a plan on how you
improve on the weak points. The plan must be made in a step by step basis.
4. Follow up and evaluate progress of planned implementation
Poise and Grooming
How you look can make a difference…. Not only regarding the way you feel inside about
yourself, but also on your on – the job performance and in your interpersonal relationships.
Check your bearing and body movements. Rigid or relaxed the way you walk reflects how
you feel:
a tired shuffle
a nervously hurried pacing
a relaxed stroll
a proud strut
Correct any negative mannerism like:
Fidgeting with hair, jewelry, belt or belt buckle
Twiddling thumbs
Touching face
Sniffling
Scratching yourself
Picking your teeth
Foot tapping or foot rocking
Clearing your throat or swallowing air
Wear appropriate clothes. The image you should project is one of your Responsibility,
Respectability and Trust.
28. Module 7 Page 125
You and Your Wardrobe
Your clothes/accessories should suit you according to:
Figure
Occasion/time/place
Climate
Budget
Lifestyle
Age…. And more
Especially at work, don’t overdress. Clothes should not be so conspicuous as to distract
attention from the business at hand.
ACCESSORIES:
Jewelry – any piece of jewelry to be worn should be functional, or should add presence.
For women: use scarves to peck up simple designed outfits.
RULES FOR ACCESSORIES
For business dressing, moderation is the key.
Your accessories should suit the occasion, age and personality of wearer.
It is a right to mix real, fake and ethnic jewelry, provided the fake jewelry is not blatantly
plastic.
“After you have clothes and accessories together, take a final glance at the mirror. If you
have some doubts, take something off.”
Specifically: Shoes
Invest on a good pair. If your feet hurt, your face will show it
Shoe color should generally be darker than the color of your hemline.
Strappy sandals open to toes and heels, extremely high heels are not appropriate for office
use.
Shoes can match your bag in color or texture but not both.
White shoes looks good only for casual worn with white skirts or white pants.
Preferably made of leather. Condition of shoes should be satisfactory.
Wardrobe Turnoffs:
Underwear the wrong color for the clothing, so that it shows through
A skirt with a slit worn with slip that shows through the split
Bare feet in open-toed shoes in a business atmosphere
Open-toed shoes with reinforced toe nylons
High-heeled shoes in need of heel repair
Buttons opened below the bust line
An excessive amount of jewelry
29. Module 7 Page 126
More than one ring per hand
Clothing worn top too tightly
Strained or soiled clothing
And overstuffed handbag
Loose or missing buttons
Visible underwear lines
Bra straps that show
Nylons with runs
Uneven hemline
