Keeping A Job - On Being Professional

Our profession is that field of activity for which we assuredly "profess" competence. Society, for its part, rightly expects that certain standards of technical expertise and conduct will govern the life of professional people. These standards do not change, make no exceptions, extend to many aspects of a professional person's life, receive recognition and rewards when observed and sanctions when disregarded. We embody them in policies, principles, practices, skills, and values. Their vital importance behooves us to know them and live them out. Some organizations specify their expectations of employers and employees in documents that vary in length from a paragraph to a manual.

Serious as this is, we must not interpret it as harsh and threatening, for we are speaking here of lofty and attainable standards intended for everyone's well-being.

Professionalism has about it always a touch of class-it bears something of graciousness and good taste, is pleasing when encountered, is universally attractive to people of integrity and earns their respect.

With so much expected of us in professional life, it's helpful to formulate our own code of workplace principles and ethics with which we can occasionally appraise ourselves.

1. List as bullet points five personal qualities that you expect of people in all professions and justify your selection of each quality.

2. List as bullet points five technical skills essential for proficiently practicing your profession.

3. Write your own workplace code of ethics by listing five principles that must at all times govern your thought life and conduct and give a reason for your selection of each quality.

Don't include those listed for question 1.

4. Professional life is not without its dangers. We must be vigilant for signs of growing confidence in our ability to deceive, all the while flying below the radar.

Jails are full of people who thought like that. Confident that they were smarter than the system, they forgot about radar systems installed at ground level. In a paragraph of 120 words, draw from a real-life example of a careless and complacent person or group of people who made the news for falling into one or more pitfalls like

- Healthy professional pride and self-confidence devolving into arrogance

- Honesty devolving into dishonesty

- Straightforward openness devolving into deviousness

- Planning devolving into scheming

- Diligence devolving into laziness, cutting corners, and carelessness

5. Write in a paragraph of 120 words why a particular person is a role model for you with regard to their character, ability, and accomplishments. If you don't want to disclose the name of the person about whom you are writing, use a fictitious name. The person may or may not be famous, may be a friend, a relative, a coach...

6. Read you final draft over for:

Typos

Spelling errors including hyphenated words

Slips of the eye

Page layout glitches

Problems with coherence-ideas, sentences, and paragraphs flowing naturally and

logically

Verbosity
