Promoting Professionalism
1. Professionalism, to me, means taking the workplace seriously, treating everyone in a respectful and professional manner, dressing appropriately, working hard, and positively contributing to the work environment. Good professionalism is my idea of what employers are looking for in an ideal candidate for the job. It is something that helps to create the business-like environment that so many companies have. Professionalism, as defined by the dictionary is, professional character, spirit, or methods; the standing, practice, or methods of a professional, as distinguished from an amateur.
2. Behaviors and attitudes common to students or workers who behave professionally are: attention to detail, hard working in every task assigned, working to be the best both personally and within their environment, the drive to do well and the pride felt after a job well done, and the ability to receive criticism in a positive manner and better his/her self based on the feedback given. With all of these characteristics put together, along with others, a student or worker will be able to greatly excel in school or a job.
3. Adapting professional behaviors and attitudes can greatly help in the success of a college student. If the goal of a college student is to be professional, his/her outcome will be greatly appreciated. The student would have priorities as to the amount of time spent on each subject, doing work well and on time rather than procrastinating, work on creating a team environment in the classroom that would only serve to help all involved, and the hard work put into school and working towards good grades would be rewarded when looking for a job. When a college student chooses to adapt a professional strategy to their schooling the only outcome possible is positivity.
4. This semester I plan on treating everyone with respect. I know that speech classes are nerve-racking and stressful, so the least
