As we grow older, we take in some of the lessons taught to us by the invaluable people in our lives. For the first ten years of our life, it is our loving parents who take the part of instilling us with the introductory morals and ethics we are expected to mature with. Professionalism is one of the core values we should always regard after the eight more years that follow.
Professionalism can be achieved in many ways through different persons. Simply following the rules and guidelines can put in a sense of professionalism within you. Becoming an open-minded individual is the foundation towards becoming a professional employee to your co-workers and directors. Factors that display your expert side should always be kept at heart:
1. Dress code. The most basic presentation of your professional self is through strict observance of the dress code most especially in work places. During a job interview, you dress up into your spotless suit and pants so as to impress your prospective manager. Neckties complete the set because these little add-ons depicts expert on its own. Careful not to mix the black ones with the festive neckties. The human resource officer will turn his attention to the tie instead of you. And nobody wants to be ignored at first sight especially when your goal is to impress without limit.
2. Personal Hygiene. Never mind it if your clothing is designed with pin stripes. If you show up at work without your teeth brushed and your body washed up. Please, just please. Be considerate enough for the people around you who might unfortunately smell you as you walk over their stations. Their working mojo will easily be destroyed just at the sight of you. It doesn’t matter whether the company or department wills an air of casualty in the office. You smell and look disgusting, you’re out!
3. Personality. It is a must to have an adaptive personality as you struggle your way into the real world. Experiences you might encounter will test your endurance up to your limit so you should make sure your strong enough to live through them. As a professional, being open-minded is of utmost significance. There are a lot of things that will truly render you speechless and if you’re body and mind are not ready for it, you might lose the game.
Becoming a professional is hard work which is in equal ground with gaining respect as an individual. A person should constantly check himself, his actions, and his words to continue living without worry which in itself is a paradox. And this may be one of the most important lessons of maturity that we continuously have to go through by ourselves.
