Introduction
This module is designed for use by teachers. It is intended to help users facilitate the career
decision-making of Grade 12 learners especially in choosing curriculum exit before they graduate
from senior high school. The title of Module 1 “Entering the Exits” means entering a curriculum
exit after Grade 12. The learners will have to choose whether he or she will proceed to college,
do business, will look for a job, or will develop the middle-level skills.
The module will help learners identify their interests and personality traits through NCAE
that will help them choose the curriculum exit suited for them. Through this module, Grade 12
learners can determine his/her life and career based on chosen curriculum exit. Lastly, it is
expected that at the end of the module, Grade 12 learners will appreciate chosen life, career and
curriculum exit based on one’s interests and personality type.

Procedure
1. Arrange the chairs on the sides so that space will be maximized for the activities.
2. Tell the learners to dance as the music plays. (If there is no music to be played, ask the
learners to sing any song that everybody can relate.)
3. Tell the learners that as the music stops they will have to find a partner on the dance
floor. Emphasize that it will provide them a chance to share their interests and
experiences in senior high school with others in the group.
4. Stop the music and ask the learners to share with their partner what is asked in the first
sharing. The music will continue after the first sharing and the learners will find another
partner for the second up to the fourth sharing.

Module 1 Page 3
Helping people make career decisions have been fundamental to counseling
psychology since its emergence as a profession, and it continues to be central to its identity
today (Gelso & Fretz, 2001, as cited in Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2010).
After acquiring all the knowledge, skills, and attitude and being aware of their
interests and personality types, Grade 12 learners will now choose the curriculum exit they
will pursue after senior high school. Grade 12 learners may choose to work immediately
since they are of legal age and have the competencies to perform a specific job, or to pursue
a business they can start to earn money. They may also proceed to higher education and
pursue a degree course or take up any Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority (TESDA) courses for middle-level skills development.
Employment. Any senior high school graduate who plans to work after senior high school
can check with the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in their locality for possible
job vacancies, or they can browse in the Department of Labor and Employment website,
www.ble.dole.gov.ph for possible local employment.
Higher Education. Senior High School graduates who would want to pursue a degree
course in higher education may directly inquire at any colleges and universities in their
area. They may also inquire at www.ched.gov.ph, the official website of the Commission
on Higher Education (CHED) for the recognized programs of schools per region.
Middle-Level Skills Development. Senior high school learners who may want to pursue
middle-level skills development after finishing a specific track and strand in senior high
school may inquire at their local TESDA offices for the courses offered in their locality.
Those who went to Technical Vocational Livelihood Track and earned a National
Certification Level II may apply for a higher level of national certification if they opt to.
Senior high school graduates may go to any curriculum exit regardless of the SHS
track they took. If a learner took up a TVL Track, he/she can still enroll in college to pursue
higher education. Moreover, after entering a specific exit, any SHS graduate may proceed
to another exit. For example, a graduate who chooses to pursue higher education and gets
employed after graduation may enter into a business or pursue middle-level skills
development while employed.
Nonetheless, whatever curriculum exit senior high school graduates pursue is their
own decision. They only have to maximize their talents and resources in order to be
successful. As what author and speaker Mack R. Douglas said, “You are responsible for
everything you do.”

2 Discovering the Cs
Introduction
Your learners are now another step closer to achieving life and career success!
From the previous module, they were able to identify their curriculum exit.
Understanding where to start their career whether from employment, entrepreneurship,
middle-level skills, and higher education upon graduation will give them better chances of
success.
In this module, they will learn the relationship of academic achievement to life and career
success. This will encourage the learners to strive harder under their respective strands and
tracks consequently, improving their academic standing. The module is also designed for
learners to utilize the Labor Market Information (LMI) for various job opportunities. Finally,
they will be able to identify the seven C’s of Lifelong Skills that will prepare them to meet both
the occupational changes and changing individual needs associated with life and career.
So, let us now open the door and explore the C’s of life and career!
Materials Needed
Module 2 Page 21
I. Objectives
Guess Who?
A strong relationship between academic achievement and life and career success has
been identified in the lives of some of the most reputable personalities in the country. In
this activity, the learners will be asked to identify the famous faces of successful people
who are academic achievers. These people who are highly regarded in the different fields of
work will be shown to allow the learners to identify themselves to their future life and
career. This activity does not intend to only provide a possible model for their career but
also, encourage them in improving their academic standing.
Note: In case computers and projectors are not available, pictures of the famous faces
should be printed beforehand. Read the descriptions as clues. You may also localize by
including prominent community personalities. However, it is recommended that you
refrain from using politicians as examples.
Module 2 Page 22
Processing Questions:
Learners need to make informed decisions as they prepare for career and vocation.
With so many industries and jobs available, it is easy to be overwhelmed and to wonder
where to start. In this activity, they will be given a chance to look into the industries and
jobs available in their community juxtaposed the needed skills to succeed in those fields.
This activity will help them plan and set goals based on the wide range of profession and
vocation available in their community.
Module 2 Page 23
Processing Questions:
After the activity, ask the learners the following questions:
1. How did you find the activity?
2. What information were present in the Labor Market Carousel?
3. How will you use the information you have acquired from the activity in preparing
for your chosen career?
4. In relation to your chosen career, what are some of the skills needed for you to
succeed in that particular sector/industry?
With the rapid pace of technological advances in the global labor market, various
occupations are continually being created. These demands open doors to numerous job
opportunities today and in the future.
In an article from the Society of Human Resource Management (2013), five
global trends affect the future of the global labor workforce:
Outsourcing. Today more than ever, companies try to cut on cost and save resources.
One practice by which they are able to do these is by outsourcing. Outsourcing is
getting portions of work done through outside suppliers rather than completing it
internally. The call center industry is an example of an outsourcing practice that
continues to expand in the country.
Demographics and diversity. With better medical care, people are living longer and
life expectancy increases. In the next 10 years, five generations―traditionalists,
Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z―will be working together. Different generations
must be able to capitalize on their tools while working harmoniously with one another.
Module 2 Page 24
Lifelong Learning
Module 2 Page 25
Seven C’s―21st Century Lifelong Skills
You are now ready to learn the lifelong skills that will propel you to succeeding
in both life and career. These skills will guide you in adapting the ever-changing
demands of life and work. Let us take a look at each one of them:
Critical Thinking and Doing. This skill requires you to look at a problem with
“discerning eyes.” You should be able to see the flaws and errors and decide on a
solution. In a myriad of information, you have to develop this skill of discriminating
what is important and relevant. This entails research, analysis, and decision-making.
Application completes the steps. You need to follow calculated steps and manage the
implementation of your decision.
Creativity. Successfully turning new and imaginative ideas into reality is needed to
create and design best fit solutions. This includes innovation that generates unique
products and services or even, new ways of doing things.
Collaboration. No one lives and survives alone. You need to engage and work with
others to survive. Empathy which is putting yourself in other people’s shoes is needed
for understanding. Compromising and community-building can only be achieved by
looking at someone else’s perspective and situation as well.
Cross-Cultural Understanding. Every day, millions of people around the globe travel
for education, leisure, business, and profession. Keeping yourself levelheaded and
respectful of the many differences among cultures will enable you to live peacefully
with the peoples of the world.
Communication. You are not only communicating to be understood but also, in order
not to be misunderstood. Therefore, another skill that must be developed is your ability
to craft ideas and messages and deliver them in a manner that is clear and purposeful.
Career and Learning Self-Reliance. Throughout your life you must be able to grow,
redefine, and reinvent yourself. This means being able to develop yourself by managing
change and adapting to it. Just like what Heraclitus said, “the only thing that is
constant is change.”
Module 2 Page 26
Processing Questions:
At this time, the learners should already know how to utilize the Labor Market
Information. Give each learner a copy of the Let’s Make It Work sheet. Based on the
LMI, ask the learners to fill out the table. At the bottom, learners will have to complete
the sentences which would examine the prospects of their chosen career.
Module 2 Page 27
VI. Reflection (10 minutes)
Hierarchy of C’s
Procedure:
The learners will create their Hierarchy of C’s by filling in the spaces of the pyramid
with the appropriate lifelong skills. An assessment of one’s self will enable them to
reflect on the levels of their lifelong skills so that they may highlight their advanced
skill while working on the ones that need development. At the bottom, learners will
have to complete the sentences which would signify their commitment in maintaining,
enhancing and improving their skills.
Shaping Up Slip
Procedure:
Give each learner a copy of the Shaping Up Slip. The learners will be asked to fill in the
shapes with the appropriate responses by group. The heart must be filled with the
learnings they “loved and enjoyed;” circle with the learning they found “essential to
know”; and rectangle with the learning they found “interesting to know”. This activity
will help the learners track their own learning and the teachers, collect data to improve
teaching or strategies.
Ask the learners to bring their Mini Me, Career Information Worksheet, LMI List of
KEGs (from Module 2 Grade 11 CGP), and list of Hard and Soft Skills (from Module 5
Grade 11 CGP). If the learner does not have the materials, a session on Grade 11 Career
Guidance Program: Module 3 may be conducted. Finally, instruct the learners to
prepare their Grade 11 general weighted average (GWA) to be used for the next
module.

3 The Choice of Choosing
Introduction
The choice of choosing is an ultimate freedom granted to all human beings. This freedom
of choosing can be best enjoyed to its fullest when practiced with responsibility. The choice of a
profession is one of the lifetime decisions that every individual shall make. Self-introspection
and careful self-analysis can be concrete bases for decision making. This module will provide
you with an avenue to explore within yourself and thus enjoy the benefit and freedom of
responsible choosing.

Module 3 Page 31
3. Use various relaxation methods to create an ambiance for sharing such as music,
mantra, breathing exercise, or silence.
4. Set agreements for the sharing.
Agreements for Sharing
a. One sharer at a time.
b. Everything within the circle remains in the circle (confidentiality of information
among all the learners).
c. Respect each other’s feelings, emotions, and sharing by observing silence at the
course of the activity.
d. The activity is covered by the provisions of DepEd Order No. 40, s. 2012 entitled
Child Protection Policy.
e. The class may also provide additional agreements for sharing.
5. Make a creative way of selecting a learner who will start the sharing (spin a bottle,
select a number, left or right, fishbowl)
6. Show or present the Guide Questions.
Guide Questions
a. Looking at your Career Information Worksheet, does your academic achievement
affects your choice of the career? In what way?
Example
1) Yes. As a STEM student dreaming of becoming a civil engineer however,
my grades are below 80. I may survive the Grade 12 yet, I may not be
qualified to enter the college since there may be a qualifying average or
grade for engineering course.
2) No. With my current grades, I do believe that I may be easily hired the
moment they will look at my credentials.
7. Let the learners share based on the guide questions. (2 mins per learner at
approximately 40 learners per class)
8. Be aware of the time allotment.
9. After the last sharer, the teacher should affirm the openness of the learners in a
creative way (hug each other, tap each other’s shoulder, etc.)
10. After affirming the class, highlight and consolidate their sharing and provide a
synthesis that will provide a bridge to the next activity.
Sample synthesis:
Thank you for being open and for trusting the group with your inner thoughts and
feelings. We may encounter different realities; however, we must remain focused on our
goals, dreams, and aspirations. It is important that when we make decisions, the choice
that we make should be an informed one. In order to know more about your realities and
your directions in life, you will fill up the Career Analysis Profile.
Module 3 Page 32
IV. Application (22 minutes)
V. Reflection (6 minutes)
Closing
“Pitiful is the person who is afraid of taking risks. Perhaps this person will never be
disappointed or disillusioned; perhaps she won’t suffer the way people do when they have
a dream to follow. But when that person looks back – and at some point everyone looks
back – she will hear her heart saying, “What have you done with the miracles that God
planted in your days? What have you done with the talents God bestowed on you? You
buried yourself in a cave because you were fearful of losing those talents. So this is your
heritage; the certainty that you wasted your life.”

II. Motivation
Where are your learners now in terms of achieving their dreams? What have they
already done? Are they already geared up to take a step farther upon completion of the
Grade 11 modules? Have your learners take a brisk walk down their memory lane. Let
them recall various milestones in their plan of action toward the realization of their
dreams. Here is a poem that will help them revisit their decisions. Afterwards, let them
reflect by answering the follow-up questions.

Here is an example.
Module 4 Page 48
IV. Lecturette
It has been said that first hand information can be a very rich source of
information for learners. These are the information (the beliefs, attitude, and skills) and
success stories that we get from people who inspire us and make us feel more
enthusiastic about pursuing our goals. This is also called observational learning.
It is from this context that the Grade 12 learners are given assignment to observe a
person with whom they want to emulate in the future using the informational interview
form (attached in the appendix). By shadowing the person or the “More Knowledgeable
Other” or MKO (Vygotsky, 2014) in his place of work and by asking pertinent questions
based on the observation tool that was crafted, it is believed that these new information
will help them in cementing their decisions to pursue their chosen career.
Informational observation also strengthens the claim of the creative job hunting
principle (Woodcock, 2014) where it says that the best way to choose a career is to talk to
people doing the job and to try it out via work shadowing and experience. There is a lot
of truth in the statement that you don’t really know what it’s like until you have been
doing it for a while: at least shadowing gives you a good idea of what’s involved.
The idea of the observation is to promote a learning context where the learners
play an active role and become responsible for their own learning. The role of the
teacher therefore is to closely collaborate with learners to facilitate meaningful learning
experiences they acquired.
Module 4 Page 49
As Stephen Covey says from his famous book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People, “Begin with the end in mind.” We encourage our learners to visualize what they
wanted to become and they are already on their first step of achieving their goals.
Relative to this, encourage them to craft their own career road map by taking into
consideration the information they gathered during their observation and the learning
they acquired through the different activities. While we encourage creativity, do bear in
mind that the content and direction of their career road map plays a more important
thing and the visual effect comes only secondary. Instructions on crafting the career road
map follow for a more specific guide as to how the learners will craft their outputs.
V. Application
Having processed the different data gathered by the learners in the field during the
informational interview, by now they must be aware that there are attributes of a person
(in the same profession as their chosen curriculum exit) that needs to be learned in
school and there are attributes that could be learned outside the four walls of the
classroom. At this point, you can guide your learners to craft their own career road map
so that they will have a prepared future plan as to how they want to arrive at their
destinations – the fulfillment of their career goals.
According to an article by Cao (2013) a career road map outlines specific steps to
undertake for moving from one step to another in ways that will facilitate growth and
career advancement. This could be an illustration or diagram that could easily be
understood by the individual who crafted it.
Career road maps are flexible enough and could be revisited and revised over time
or as the circumstance warrants in order for the learner to keep track of his progress or
to address issues that hinder the achievement of the desired goal.
The career road map, upon accomplishing should be communicated by the learners
to their parents/guardians or significant people whom they think in one way or the other
will be involved in the attainment of the desired goal. The learners should inform their
parents/guardians or the people whom they identified of what specific help or support
they are expecting from them. It is also very important to remind the learners that they
should also communicate to their support group the specific steps they will take and the
projected time frame of its accomplishment. In so doing, the learners will have an active
support system that will help him out in achieving their career goals from time to time.

VII. Evaluation (10 minutes)
Fitting in Other’s Shoes
Here is a concluding activity that will somehow encapsulate the concepts needed to
be learned by the learner and as a valuable take away when they proceed to the next
modules.
Let them accomplish the task and have a gallery of their outputs either by hanging
them as mobiles or posting them on the walls of the room as collage for viewing.
The template is provided for this activity. Do not forget to process the different
outputs. The following reflection questions may help in processing and re-affirming their
decisions to keep on track in pursuing their career goals as they have mapped out in
their career road map. You can add more questions as you see it necessary.
1. What helped you decide about the visions you made for yourself 10 years from now?
2. How do you intend to surpass the different obstacles that you foresee?
2. What are the challenges that you foresee in achieving your career choice?
Note: When you prefer the outputs to be hung as mobiles, be ready with small clothespin and
strings to be used as clothesline inside the classroom. When you prefer it to be posted as
collage on the walls, assigned specific area in the classroom where the shoe outlines will be
placed.

VIII. Assignment (5 minutes)
VMCV of My Future Company
Do you ever know of a company or a business enterprise that never seems to
accomplish very much because of lack of a mission statement, goals, or core values? If so,
do you want to work in these companies or at least put one for yourself in the future?
Definitely, you do not want to end up in a mess because of lack of direction. A company
or an enterprise needs vision because it provides the destination of the business or the
enterprise; a mission statement which is the guiding light of the destination, and so on.

Appendix 1
Informational Interview
What is an informational interview? Is there really a need to do it? What benefits can you get
from it? Read the following information.
To better understand the job or business, you will also include in the interview the mission
statement and core values of the company or business of the person you interviewed.
In addition, this interview will also help you develop your communication skills and
confidence as well.
1. Interview someone who has a similar job or business with your career choice. To help
you identify the person or business owner to interview, ask assistance from your
friends, neighbors, family, teachers, alumni, or your barangay officials. List at least
three persons as possible interviewees. The first one to be available will be your final
interviewee.
2. Contact your potential interviewee by letter, email, or phone. State your name and that
you are a Grade 12 learner. Tell him/her about your intention―why you are contacting
him/her and from whom you received his/her name. Specify that you will just be
asking for the opportunity to conduct an interview about his/her job or business as a
means of exploring on your dream job or business.
3. If he/she consents to be interviewed, ask for his/her most convenient time and manner
of interview (whether via phone or face-to-face). Request for 15-20 minutes for a
phone interview, or 20-30 minutes for a face-to-face interview. If possible, request for
a face-to-face interview.
4. Respect the interviewee’s time by staying within the time frame agreed upon.
5. Assure the interviewee that the information you have gathered from him/her will not
be used in other purposes, except for the assignment given. Express your words of
gratitude after the interview.

Introduction
This cliché emphasizes the need for people to work zealously in tandem with others to
make their endeavors succeed. The same holds true for learners’ career development. While
they consider the personal, academic, and familial factors in their career development, they
must likewise connect their life aspirations to the pressing demands and trends in the local and
global scenario. The word combo, an abbreviated form of the word combination, signifies the
convergence of personal career choices to the actual needs in the labor market and industries.
By doing so, Grade 12 learners are guided to fulfill the vision of the Department of
Education, which expects them to “contribute meaningfully in building the nation.” This also
ensures that learners are able to attain their life and career goals vis-à-vis working for the
greater interests of the country at the macro-level. To help learners clearly determine the
direction of their career choices, mission statements become essential as the baseline of their
career plans and actions. This module intends to facilitate the learners’ ability to make such
convergence possible.

referring to the introduction and explaining the appropriateness of the title to the
objectives.
II. Motivation
Procedure:
1. For this activity, teacher will post a picture on the board or present it using a slide
presentation if a laptop and a projector are available (refer to the Appendix sheet
for a copy of the picture).
2. Ask the learners: What is their first reaction when they saw the picture? What can
they do to help the person in the situation? If they will set a mission to change the
condition reflected in the picture, what do you think would they do?
3. Let them write their answers in metacards or sheets of papers provided and have
these posted on the board or on manila paper adjacent to or below the picture.
Processing Questions:
1. How did you find this activity?
2. Have you experienced doing a mission to help others? Have you ever supported an
organization’s mission for charitable purposes? Can you relate the experience?
3. How did this charitable work affect you?
4. Will you be willing to volunteer for missions that will help others? Why?
This section of the module guides the students in the formulation of a personal
mission statement in relation to the learners’ life and career decisions.
Procedure:
1. Ask learners if they have some background information about mission statements.
Allow learners to share their mission statements if they have any.
2. Introduce the sample worksheet in the formulation of a personal mission statement.
3. Let learners fill out the worksheet for their own personal mission statement. Then,
ask them to develop and finalize their statement.
Module 5 Page 67
4. A soft background music may be played to stimulate the learners while formulating
their mission statements.
What is the most important thing or event I treasure my being a good student; I treasure
in your life right now that you treasure? my family. I believe that if I finish SHS, I can

Final Personal Mission Statement:
Module 5 Page 69
Note to the Teacher-Facilitator: Allow students to write their personal mission statement
in their mother tongue.
Even organizations have their mission statements that define the reason for their
existence. Their activities are aligned toward these statements. Small scale entrepreneurs and
those who are self-employed are also guided by their own mission statements to become
successful. Learners must realize that their personal mission statements must harmonize with
the mission statements of their prospective occupational fields.
Note to the Teacher-Facilitator: Ask learners to bring out the assignment given in
Module 4 on the mission statement/s of the company/industry/school/entrepreneurs where
they plan to enter after graduating from Senior High School.
Processing:
1. What was your experience while writing your personal mission statement? How will you
be able to fulfill it? What may hinder you from not being able to fulfill it?
2. Is the mission statement from the person/organization you interviewed related to your
personal mission statement? What are the similarities?
3. Do you think your personal mission statement can contribute to national development? In
what way?
“Where do I go from here?” This question may be posed by learners now that they
are about to complete their Senior High School. To help them answer this, the personal
mission statement becomes very essential.
Module 5 Page 70
To enable learners to craft a personal mission statement, the following contents
should be reflected:
1. their values and personal beliefs,
2. goals,
3. things that make them happy,
4. their dreams and vision about their future,
5. what they are good at,
6. what they are passionate about, and
7. how they want others to perceive you.
(conduct.tcnj.edu/files/2011/11/Personal-Mission-Statement-Assignment.pdf).
Although a personal mission statement serves the purpose of directing the learners
to life and career decisions, the process of career development entails another step. That
involves the gathering of information for them to make the wisest choices.
In Module 3 of the Career Guidance Program for Grade 11, learners familiarized
themselves to government agencies for career linking. This included Project JobsFit that
provides timely, relevant, and accurate labor market signals for in-demand jobs and
skills shortage.
The Department of Labor and Employment assures that there are plenty of local
jobs in the country. It has logged an estimated 200,000 vacancies by employers in the
enhanced Phil-Jobnet, the government’s online job search (Source:
http://www.ro1.dole.gov.ph/default.php).
The Department’s labor market study, Project JobsFit: DOLE 2022, reflects the
regional industries, key employment generators, and current occupational and courses
trends and demands in the local and global scenario (refer to Appendices 3 and 4).
What the learners must also realize and sincerely understand is that their mission
statements do not end in their personal development and interest. Rather, it is intricately
linked to what they aspire their country to be. Dr. Jose P. Rizal rested his hopes that the
youth will be instrumental in nation building when he remarked that they are the hope
of the motherland. This implies that when they plan for their career choice, they should
also consider factors like the country’s economy and hence, synchronize their career
choices to benefit the country as well.
The learners are the youth of today who will soon build the nation of tomorrow. It
is very essential for them to realize that even at their young age, they could embrace
their social responsibilities by being aware that they could already do something to
contribute to nation building. By fulfilling their tasks and duties as children to their
Module 5 Page 71
parents and as students in schools, they are already trained to take on roles that allow
them to be productive and value-laden citizens.
Now that they are about to exit from Senior High School, they should be more
conscientious that they are critical in contributing to making the Philippines progressive.
As such, the learners are highly enjoined to commit themselves to live up to their
personal mission statement in making a difference to other people’s lives and give a
contribution to the community at large. When learners collectively align their personal
missions to this end, the vision of nation building through them becomes attainable.
Needless to say, the parents and relatives of these learners and the government
have invested on them as human capital, with the hope that in the near future, they will
partake in the noble mission of building the country and ushering it to the progress that
it has visualized for the people and the nation as a whole. Being the human capital, it is
but fitting that they enhance their skills, values, and interests that would tell them of the
most appropriate curriculum exits they would finally choose. By working to ensure that
they work best in what they will be doing, they become empowered and ready to engage
in activating the most promising future for them, their family, their community, and the
nation at large.
Note to the Teacher: Refer to Appendices 3 and 4 to discuss briefly the current trends and
demands in the courses in the Philippines, and employment and industries in the region.
Explain to the students that they are not pressured to synchronize their career choices to
these current trends and demands, but if there are career choices in line with these, affirm
that the learners will be able to fill up what is most needed in the country/region/global
scenario. Affirm also that those whose career choices are not aligned with the current
trends and demands can still do their share to contribute to nation building.
V. Application
Procedure:
Prepare the following road trips that will be posted in the classroom walls.
On the first manila paper, paste the Yellow Road Trip Sign and label it as Career
Choices.
Module 5 Page 72
On the second manila paper, paste the GAS UP Road Trip Sign and label it as Goal
Motivators.
On the third manila paper, paste the RED Sign and label it as HINDRANCES.
On the fourth manila paper, paste the GREEN Road Trip Sign and label it as
Curriculum Exits.
Prepare meta strips or clean sheets of paper. Distribute four sheets to all students.
Instruct learners to write the following on these sheets of paper:
Paper 1: Label it with career choice, and write the career choice – to be posted in
the Yellow Road Trip Sign.
Paper 2: Label it with Goal Motivators, and write their goal motivators – to be
posted in Gas Up Road Trip Sign.
Paper 3: Label it with career hindrance and write their career hindrances – to be
posted in the Red Road Trip Sign.
Paper 4: Label it with curriculum exits and write their curriculum exit – to be
posted in the Green Road Trip Sign.
After writing on the four sheets of paper, group learners into four.
Tell the learners that they are about to go on a road trip with their friends using the
sheets of paper.
Let the group form a HUMAN TRAIN.
Tell the learners that when you call out loud a color on the road trip sign, they must
prepare the corresponding sheets:
Career Choice – Yellow
Goal Motivators – Gas-UP
Hindrances – Red
Curriculum Exits – Green
Module 5 Page 73
Tell further that when the upbeat music plays, they move around the room where the
first person leads the dance move. All members of the group will follow the dance
steps.
As the music stops, say this aloud: “YELLOW!” and allow learners to find a
partner. Let them share what particular career choice they are considering at the
present. After briefly sharing with the learners, they will post their sheet of paper
to the corresponding road sign posted on the wall and immediately go back to their
human train formation.
After this, say this aloud: “CHANGE!” and the last person in the human train will
go to the front and become the new leader.
The music plays again and everyone in the human train follows the new leader as
they dance and move around.
Then, say aloud the next road sign and allow learners to look for a new partner to
share what they have written on their paper until all road signs have been called
out.
The procedure is done until all road trip signs have been introduced and pairs have
shared their answers to each other.
Note to teacher-facilitator: Arrange the room to provide space for this activity. The
following will be prepared in advance and to be posted on the wall inside the classroom to
prepare for the activity.
Processing Questions:
1. Based on the activity, do you think you made the right career decisions? How so?
2. What did you realize from this activity? What are the hindrances that you identified?
Can you overcome these through your goal motivators? in what way?
3. Based on the discussion on the current trends and demands, is your career choice
aligned to what is needed in your region? What do you think is the effect of aligning

6 Keep Me Balanced!
Module 6 Page 89
Introduction
Values are a fundamental building block of your Mission in Life (Clarke, 2012). Brown
(1995) in her Values-Based Holistic Approach to Career Development third tenets stated that
values play an important role in the career decision-making process of individuals more than
their interests. An individual’s value orientation greatly molds and influences his/her
functioning as this presents the direction to a desired end state and has a central role in setting
goals or expected outcomes. Values also serve as the basis for evaluating one’s own actions and
the action of others, particularly in terms of how the individual and others must function (Villar,
2009).
This module will let our learners identify their possessed values to keep them balanced
with those values shared by their significant others—school, family, and community. They may
be able to know their selves better as they continue navigating vast opportunities in their lifelong
journey.

Big group sharing (15 minutes)
Group leaders consolidate their group’s responses and share them to the entire
class. Each group leader is given two minutes to share.
Values that are influenced by other people’s value systems may not truly represent
the individual’s true values.
People with divergent values but who must live or work together experience
interpersonal conflicts. (Example: Your teacher values authoritarianism but you value
independence.)
Module 6 Page 94
Value conflicts create tension and anxiety which can lead to stress. They can
make people indecisive, a situation that can confuse the ones they live or work with. If
these behaviors become inconsistent, this can result in interpersonal problems. So, how
do people resolve conflicts in values?
To resolve an intrapersonal conflict, one has to be clear about his or her priorities.
Priorities depend on one’s roles, goals, and personal mission. Interpersonal conflicts can
be resolved through communication in which both parties try to see and understand the
situation of the other. If organizational values conflict with one’s personal values, a
choice of either setting aside the latter or embracing the values of the organization, or
leaving the organization and working for one whose values are compatible with his or
hers. (Santamaria 2009)
Authentic values are brought out through an insightful dialogue involving self-
reflection. True values, when fully expressed, are capable of leading a person toward focus,
purpose, satisfaction, and happiness. Furthermore, a value is crystallized once it has a label
that is meaningful to the individual. Once values are crystallized and prioritized, the
individual can go on directly to career choice making (Villar, 2009).
Directions:
1. Distribute the template for the activity.
2. Go over the values listed in “Side A, Side B.”
3. Identify the values listed in Side A that are not listed in Side B and write those values
under the column entitled “Values least valued.”
4. Make a plan on how you will resolve the conflict in values that may lead to the
attainment of your career goals.

Directions: In your journal notebook or on a piece of paper, write your insights and
realizations on the Side A, Side B activity using the following format:
Directions:
1. Present the given scenario to the students.
Ten years after graduation, you were invited by your high school alma mater
as speaker to the Commencement Exercises of the Senior High School with the theme
“Values Brought Us to Success.” Banking on your own experience and realizations
from the activities you just had, what are you going to tell the graduates? You are
given only five minutes to convey the inspiring message.
2. Call one volunteer to deliver the speech.
VIII. Agreement
The learners will discuss their career plans with their parents or guardians and elicit
suggestions/opinions on how they can best contribute to the realization of their plans.
Write those suggestions/opinions in your activity notebook.

7 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.
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.
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.
Module 7 Page 98
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.
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.
Module 7 Page 99
Procedure:
1. Each learner shall be provided with a piece of paper;
2. Learners observe their two hands and choose which hands represent him/her the
most. Is it the right hand or the left hand?
3. On the bond paper, they trace the hand they chose;
4. Have learners draw symbols:
On the SMALL FINGER: Draw a symbol that represents your present
track/strand/specialization (Grade 12).
Sample drawing for Academic: A nurse’s cap because the learner wants to become
a Nurse, a Statoscope because the learner wants to become a
Physician/Doctor.
Sample drawing for TVL: Hammer, Ladder, Bread, Cake and many more
On the MIDDLE FINGER: draw a symbol that represents your career exit (Kolehiyo,
Trabaho, Negosyo and Skills and Development Center).
Sample drawing for Academic: Drawing of a Business building, Bridges, Road
and many more
Sample drawing for TVL: Academic: Drawing of a Hospital, Building, Bank
On the POINT FINGER: Draw a symbol that represents your future job.
Sample drawing for Academic: An injection for a nurse, a statoscope for a
Physician, high rise building for Engineering, Hospital, Bank Orphanage
and many more
Sample drawing for TVL: Drawing of an Electrical Store, Construction site,
Bakery, Beauty House or Salon and many more
On the THUMB: Draw a symbol of your contribution to the society in relation to your
future job (success-like story).
Sample drawing of Academic: The heart and the family. Because the nurse helps
by taking care and helps sustain the life of one sick individual in the family.
Sample drawing for TVL: Drawing of good food for a healthy life style by a
chief cook
On the PALM AREA: Draw a symbol that represents your Career Motivational Goal;
(strength and sustainability/holding on)
Sample drawing of Academic: Drawing of a heart that symbolizes life “as long as
there is a heart beating…life must go on” by a Physician and Nurse.
Sample drawing for TVL: Drawing of a Go, Glow and Glow food that gives
strength to an individual.
Sample Activity Worksheet 2: Transition Work Sheet Analysis on Curriculum Exits “My
Hand Version 2.0”
Processing Questions:
1. How did you find yourself in the chosen career in relation to the expected duties and
responsibilities?
2. Being aware of your chosen career, name at least three you consider your work principles.
3. What/who do you think motivates you to pursue your career goal? Can you explain how?
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.
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.
Operational Definition:
Return of Investment (ROI) is the human capital with work ethics who became productive and
efficient towards work.
“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.
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.
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.
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.
Synthesis
“We are shaped by our thoughts; we become what we think. When the mind is pure,
joy follows like shadow that never leaves.” - Buddha
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.”

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.
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.
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.
Appendix 6
Mechanical engineers create solutions and solve problems, playing a central role in the design
and implementation of moving parts in a range of industries
They can work on all stages of a product, from research and development to design and
manufacture, through to installation and final commissioning.
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
Module 7 Page 121
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.
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.
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.
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
Wear appropriate clothes. The image you should project is one of your Responsibility,
Respectability and Trust.
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.
“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
