My Personal Definition
My Personal Definition
In my opinion, being professional isn't just your ethic and management, its also the connections and attitude that you bring to your place of employment. By asking questions and being genuinely interested in your field will create the best environment in your desired profession. Having a good attitude will encourage your coworkers to talk to you and build that foundation of references to build your career. A good example of using connections would be reaching out for recommendations by keeping past employers in your contacts when looking to apply at future jobs.
