Professionalism

Professionalism creates credibility for numerous reasons. First, it establishes a sense of trust between you and those around you.  Professionalism allows you to be punctual, credible, confident, respectful, and knowledgeable.  It's said that "you only have one chance to make a great first impression."  I believe this to be true.  If you show up to a job interview in shorts and a t-shirt, you will not impress the company.  If you show up in a business suit, they will most likely take you seriously.  It is important that we maintain a sense of professionalism when we are dealing with outside vendors, administration, and different entities on campus.  By being respectful and on time to things we will establish a professional relationship with those around us. Also, by communicating with our team members around us we will be successful in our endeavors and it displays a sense of professionalism.
