HOW TO CONDUCT ONESELF INSIDE THE COMPANY/BUSINESS

ESTABLISHMENT DURING THE IMMERSION PERIOD?

Being professional doesn’t just mean dressing up smartly

at work or doing a good job. So, what is professionalism, and
why does it matter? And how can you show your
professionalism?

According to Google, professionalism is “the competence

or skill expected of a professional.” It also defines as “the
conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a
profession or a professional person.”

The question is “How can you show your

professionalism?” The first thing you must consider is arriving
on time at work and meetings. This demonstrates commitment
to your job. When you arrive late, it shows disrespect to your co-
workers, superiors and the entire organization. Keep an eye on
the clock both at the start of the day and during lunch break to
make sure you arrive and return on time. Second, “Keep It
Positive.” Bad days, everyone has them. But bringing your bad
attitude into work not only reflects poorly on you but affects
good performance. Third, dress appropriately. Even if you’re
happy in your job, it’s still important to look your best. This
doesn’t necessarily mean wearing a suit, but simply looking
neat, clean and well-groomed at all times. Practice good hygiene
and avoid overly casual wardrobe pieces, such as shorts and flip
flops. Fourth, lend a hand. If your co-worker needs help with a
project, offer to pitch in. Fifth, listen up. Just us you should
willing to share your knowledge and talents with your co-
workers, you should be equally receptive to the contributions of
others. Sixth, give up on gossips. Sharing your negative
opinions and personal gossip interferes with productivity.
Seventh, learn from your mistakes. It’s inevitable that workplace
mistakes will occur, but acknowledging your error, making your
best effort to correct them, and learning along the way can help
you recover and avoid future falters. Eight, understand office
etiquette. Pay careful attention to office etiquette and make sure
your behaviour is in line with expectations. Lastly, have respect.
Independent of level or title, every person in your workplace
deserves to be treated with respect. The more respected the
team members feel, the better you’ll be able to communicate
and collaborate with them that results to better outcome.
 To show our professionalism is to be always on time, keep
it positive, dress appropriately, lend a hand, listen up, give up
on gossip, learn from your mistakes, understand office
etiquette, and have respect .
