According to employers who attended our 2020 Career EXPO, professionalism was noted as “Extremely Important” or “Very Important” by 99% of employers surveyed. Professionalism is often mistakenly thought of being just about communication and dressing in a professional manner, however it encompasses several other skills that are critical to success in the workplace such as:
- Work Ethic
- Time Management
- Initiative
- Commitment
Practicing professionalism doesn’t mean that you should be someone that you are not. Being professional is about showing a level of maturity that shows your employer that you are serious about your career. “Mastering professionalism in the workplace is critical for anyone hoping to sustain a long and successful career.” – Rasmussen College.
