Professionalism

As we know, it is essential to behave "professionally" in the workplace. If you want to impressed people in an organisation and have them think of you as an asset to the team, doing things in a professional way is vital.

Here's the commonly seen question: What exactly do employers mean by this term? 

1. Make it a Priority to Be on Time

Show up at least a few minutes before you are supposed to start work and return from your breaks on time. People can depend on you to show up on time, submit your work when it’s supposed to be ready.

2. Dress Appropriately

Whether you have to dress up for work or you can wear more casual clothes, your appearance should always be neat and clean.

3. Don't Be a Grump

Leave your bad mood at the door when you come to work. We all have days when we aren't feeling our best. Remember not to take it out on your boss, your co-workers, and especially your customers. 

4. Respect For Others

Treating all people as if they mattered is part of your approach.

5. Staying Work-Focused 

Not letting your private life needlessly have an impact on your job, and not spending time at work attending to personal matters.

6. Supporting Others

You share the spotlight with colleagues, take time to show others how to do things properly, and lend an ear or give a hand when necessary.

7. Being Positive

No one likes a constant pessimist. If you complain incessantly about your workplace, it will bring others down. Having an upbeat attitude and trying to be a problem-solver makes a big difference.

8.  Listening Carefully

People want to be heard, so give people a chance to explain their ideas properly rather than fighting to speak your own opinions. 

Being a professional and keep yourself up to date, rather than letting your skills or knowledge become outdated.

Experience Project Team Working

I am currently working on a new project in a team with Pallav, Harry and Hassan where this project is going to last us in a team for three stimulation weeks. I have found this project team working has given me some new insights about group work.

➷ Working in team can make work a lot more easier leading to an involving and satisfying experience for students. By engaging myself into a group, I increased  my involvement in the project, put in more effort, gained satisfaction and become more oriented in completing the group's task.

 ➷Also, working in groups can be challenging at times and it demands a set of skills. With this project, gained fair knowledge about the way task-oriented groups work and what complexity it involves.

➷Besides that, working in a group is a great way to practice skills you're not sure of. Some of the most important things I like when working in a group is staying organized, finishing off tasks before the deadline, enjoy working with others and rising up concerned issues if there's any.

➷With group work, I've been learning more in less amount of time and also enabling myself to check on everybody's progress to see if anybody needs help. I have certainly developed a stronger sense of obligation among the members and increased pressure towards the completion of the task.

In conclusion, this project has given me a new insight about group work with an opportunity of learning group skills. These skills promoted my self-independence and less dependence on trainers.
