You know that it's essential to be
professional if you want to be a
success. But what does "being
professional" actually mean?
Defining Professionalism
 The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines professionalism as "the
conduct, aims, or qualities that characterize or mark a profession or
a professional person"; and it defines a profession as "a calling
requiring specialized knowledge and often long and intensive
academic preparation."
 These definitions imply that professionalism encompasses a number
of different attributes, and, together, these attributes identify and
define a professional.
 So, what are these attributes?
 Specialized Knowledge - They've made a deep personal
commitment to develop and improve their skills, and, where
appropriate, they have the degrees and certifications that
serve as the foundation of this knowledge.
 Competency - Professionals don't make excuses, but focus
on finding solutions.
 Honesty and IntegrityThey keep their word, and they can
be trusted implicitly because of this. They never
compromise their values , and will do the right thing, even
when it means taking a harder road.
Identify
Career
Choices
 Geographic Considerations - It's important to think about
where you'll need to live in order to work in the field that you
select.
 Compensation Considerations - Before settling on a particular
career, it's important to think about how much money you are
likely to earn in that occupation.
 Work Schedule - When you're identifying career choices, it's
important to think about the type of hours you're likely to work
when you go to work in the particular fields that interest you.
 Benefit Availability - You should also consider the types of
benefits you'll be able to get when identifying career choices.
