What is Professionalism ?

Question

In an interview what is considered professional? What is unprofessional? If you get told by a manager to be more professional what are you tips?

Answer 1

keeping your personal prejudices and opinions outside of the workplace and treating people, colleagues and customers fairly and equally

Answer 2

Do your professional work in the best way, at the right time, at the right place, to or with the right person/s (punctuality, modesty, preparedness). Do your work not for selfish reasons (unprofessional) but for the sake of making humanity and most importantly your God happier even just a bit. Because at the end of the day, your professionalism figures and materializes not only in your office's output but in you and the persons that connect to your work.

Answer 3

Dress nicely and conservatively. Dont swear or chew gum. Dont EVER answer a ringing cell phone (put it on silent before the interview). Have all your past job history and references handy. Many employers object to facial piercings and odd colored hair or hair cuts. Be on time and dont bring your friends with you to sit in the lobby and wait.
If someone told you to be more professional, ask them for their advice so that you know exactly what they would suggest.

Answer 5

my definition is giving your work the top most priority sometimes even at the point of compromising your health and family.. sad but true.. :(

sometimes i feel this way because you just keep on working and working and giving your all for your work and company but the chances of losing other important things in your life is at a high level. :(
