Work, careers and livelihood

Choosing opportunities according to qualification is a better decision. In exams remember honesty and information in job search.

A resume shows a person's education skills and experience. In exams connect it with job application.

Politeness demonstrates professional behaviour, respect for others, and effective communication skills. Therefore, it helps the candidate create a positive impression on the interviewer. Hiding wrong answers is not politeness; it is inappropriate conduct. Exam tip: When writing about interview skills, mention courteous language, attentive listening, and respectful behaviour.

Work experience gives understanding of real work. In exams connect experience with career growth.

Honesty at work—such as giving correct information, completing assigned duties responsibly, and not misusing resources—is an example of work ethics. Work ethics includes integrity, responsibility, and fair conduct. Laziness shows a lack of commitment to work, so it is the opposite of work ethics. Exam tip: Link qualities such as honesty and responsibility with work ethics.

Workplace safety rules are designed to protect workers from injuries, fires, slips, machine-related accidents, and other hazards. Therefore, option A is correct. Such rules do not reduce work quality or remove responsibility; they promote safe and orderly work. Exam tip: The main purpose of safety rules is always the prevention of accidents and injuries.

Teamwork succeeds through cooperation and shared responsibility. In exams connect teamwork with cooperation.

Gender equality at work means that people of all genders receive fair treatment and equal access to employment, pay, promotion, training, and leadership opportunities on the basis of merit and ability. Options B, C, and D show gender-based discrimination, not equality. Exam tip: Link gender equality with equal opportunity and non-discrimination.

Punctuality and following rules show discipline. In exams connect discipline with professionalism.

Problem solving helps choose the right option during difficulty. In exams consider it a life skill.

Adaptability is the ability to adjust to changing situations. In exams write it as a modern work skill.

Resource management reduces waste and improves work. In exams connect resources with efficiency.

Sustainable livelihood considers both present and future. In exams connect sustainability with long-term security.

Social entrepreneurship focuses on income and social good. In exams write both profit and purpose.

A mentor uses experience and knowledge to advise a learner about career options, required skills, and goal setting. A mentor supports informed decision-making rather than making decisions for the learner. Hiding options or preventing skill development is the opposite of mentoring. Exam tip: Remember that a mentor provides guidance, encouragement, and direction.

Practice and experience increase confidence. In exams connect confidence with skill practice.

Self-evaluation shows the path of improvement. In exams connect self-evaluation with growth.

Preparing and selling homemade pickles earns money in exchange for a product, so it is an income-generation activity. Watching television, hiding vocational skills, or wasting resources does not produce income. Exam tip: Link an activity with income generation when it can provide an economic return.

A self-help group supports savings and enterprise. In exams connect SHG with livelihood support.

Transparency in work means keeping rules, decisions, processes and necessary information clear and accessible to the relevant people. It promotes trust, accountability and fairness. Hiding information is the opposite of transparency, while decisions based on personal preference indicate bias. Exam tip: remember transparency as clear information and open work practices.
