Directions: Identify the kind of form or certificate being described by the following statements. Write
B if it is Barangay Certificate; R if it is Resume; P if it is a Police Clearance; M if it is Mayor’s
Permit, or C if it is Medical Certificate.

1. This certificate must be based on facts known to the doctor, including the practitioner’s own
observations as well as information provided by the patient.
2. This document is issued to a person to prove and certify he or she is free and cleared from any case,
liability, crime, offense, and bad record in the local town or municipality he or she is currently
residing.

4. A brief document used to summarize a job seeker’s experience and qualifications for a prospective
employer.
5. It is used as supporting documents to medical certificates, affidavits, and whenever any office
requests or requires it.

D.2 DEVELOPMENT

Resume is a short document used to summarize a job seeker’s experience and qualifications for a
prospective employer. It includes the job seeker’s contact information, work experience, education,
and relevant skills in support of a job application.

Through this record of both your personal background and accomplishments, it helps the
employers to evaluate whether you are qualified for a particular job or not.

Importance:
1. A well-organized, tailored resume will increase your chances of landing in an interview.
2. It gives the hiring manager an overview of the qualifications you have for the job for which you’re
applying.

Tips in Writing a Resume

 Begin resume by writing your full name, address, telephone number, fax, a*
 Write an objective. The objective is a short sentence describing what type of work you hope
to obtain.
 Use dynamic action verbs such as accomplished, collaborated, encouraged, established,
facilitated, founded, managed, etc.
 Begin work experience with your most recent job. Include the company specifics and your
responsibilities.

2
  Do not use the subject 'I', use tenses in the past, except for your present job. Example:
Conducted routine inspections of on-site equipment.
 Place your work experience before your education. In English speaking countries, especially
in the United States, work experience is the most important factor in hiring.
 Ask for permission to use someone as a reference before you interview for a position. It's also
a good idea to let your references know that you will be interviewing if you haven't
interviewed for a while. In this way, references will be in the loop if a potential employer
calls or sends an email for further information. But don’t include the contact information of
your references on your resume. The phrase available upon request will suffice.
 Your entire resume should ideally not be any longer than one page. If you have had a number
of years of experience specific to the job you are applying for, two pages are also acceptable.

Below is an example of application letter applying for a higher position. Study the parts and its
content.

Mr. John Wu
Chief Executive Officer
JW Group of Companies
Ayala Avenue, Makati Philippines

Dear Mr. Wu:

Greetings of peace!
I am Nicholas C. Reyes, and I believe that my work experience and educational background
qualify me to be the Vice President for Operations of JW Group of Companies.

My venture into the professional world started when I was in college. All that time I decided
to work as a service crew at Jollibee Katipunan in order to orient myself with the rudiments
of the fast-food business, and perhaps, how medium and large-scale business operate in
general. Because of my dedication as an employee and my foresight, I was later on
promoted as the outlet’s store manager. Nonetheless, this was only beginning of my
professional growth. Later on, I landed in managerial and executive positions in two other
companies and eventually earned my master’s degree in business administration (MBA).
Thus, at this point in my life, I feel that I have already acquired sufficient experiences
To enable me to efficiently oversee the operations of your company.

Should you decide to hire me, I promise to do my best to ensure the growth of your
company.

Thank you so much for going through my application. I am looking forward to working with
you soon.

Sincerely,

Nicolas C. Reyes
Applicant

What is Police Clearance?

Police Clearance is a document issued to a person to prove and certify that he/she is free and
cleared from any case, liability, crime, offense, and bad record in the local town or municipality he/
she is currently residing. The Police Department or PNP Station is authorized to issue this certificate
to any individual under its jurisdiction.

you need to show some supporting documents in applying for an ID like passport or when a
government agency or any office requires it. Police clearance is valid for 6 months while NBI is valid
for one year.

Mayor’s Clearance
Individuals need to secure a Mayor’s Clearance before they can apply for a firearms license.

applicants to the Philippine National Police (PNP). Some schools and overseas employment agencies
require their students/recruits to secure a Certificate of Good Moral Character before they are allowed
to enroll or apply.

Obtaining a Medical Certificate

It is so important for medical practitioners to keep in mind their legal and professional
responsibilities when issuing medical certificates. When issuing a medical certificate, it must be
honest and not misleading. Practitioners may only sign medical certificates they believe, to be
completely accurate. This means the medical certificate must be based on facts known to the doctor.
Many doctors require a consultation before providing a medical certificate. This includes the
practitioner’s own observations as well as information provided by the patient. Any medical
statements in the certificate must have a factual basis. With this being said, medical practitioners may

4
decline to issue a certificate. This may occur if they do not consider that absence from work is
necessary given the nature of the illness. This could also be if a certificate is requested retrospectively.
The practitioner must be confident about the facts of the matter.

Job Interview Skills

Developing skills in interview is a must for all would-be young professionals, who, after
graduating from Senior High School or College will certainly apply for a job.
A job interview is an interview consisting of a conversation between a job applicant and a
representative of an employer which is conducted to assess whether the applicant should be hired.
How you answer questions during job interview can have a big impact on you being hired or accepted
as an employee.
The interview is frequently impromptu in character. There are two general types:
1. Private interview consists of talking between an employer and a job applicant or between school
official and student seeking admission into college. In this kind of talk, the person interviewed is
assessed and evaluated by means of his responses during the interview, by his personal appearance
and by his qualities as a candidate for acceptance or admission into the organization.
2. The public interview is a formal or informal talk performed before a large group of audience who
may or may not be present within the premises where the interview takes place.
