How to become professional?

Be it at the workplace or at school, you can behave and dress professionally to garner respect from your counterparts. First impression is very important; so, make it a point to wear clean and unwrinkled clothes at all times. Based on the dress code of your organization or school, choose the appropriate attire and wear it with pride and dignity. 

To appear professional, one should be well-groomed. Men should keep their hair short and tidy. Unkempt facial hair is a deal breaker; so, maintain a clean shaven look. If you are keen on sporting a goatee or a mustache, keep it tidy at all times. Women should either tie their hair or prevent it from becoming messy in the course of the day.

Apart from donning the right attire and looking neat, one should exude confidence. You should be confident of your abilities. When you meet people, give them a firm handshake, which indicates that you are focused and determined to succeed. 

A professional always speaks clearly and logically. So, when you are interacting with people at the workplace or in school, greet them, maintain a genuine smile and speak in an objective manner. Also, you should not use slang while speaking.

Professionalism is all about respecting your counterparts. If you are invited for a meeting or an event, you should always acknowledge the invitation and arrive at the venue promptly. 

When you arrive at a function before or on time, it shows that you value others’ time. This will create a positive impression in others’ minds. And people will reciprocate in the same manner.

In addition, whenever work is assigned to you, make it a point to complete it before the stipulated deadline. 

When you are committed to your work, you not only rise high in your career and academic life, but you also stay in the good books of your colleagues and peers.
