My definition of professionalism is a little more specific that CDE's interpretation. Although time and work management is important, I think the key word "consistency" is missing. If someone has good time management skills but isn't consistent with their work, they represent unprofessionalism. Likewise career literacy is only important if the love of the career exists. You could know information about a career well, but if there is no intrinsic motivation, the work will never be up to par. Along with that, one has to have the ability to make sacrifices for their career. If resilience isn't incorporated into work, then that makes one seem weak and unprofessional. Lastly, one of the most important factors to professionalism is dependability. If your boss doesn't know if you are reliable enough to show up, that's a bad sign. One would want to make sure that they are honest and able to do what they say they can do as actions speak louder than words.
