Professionalism

I love the main points in the reading. they seem like common sense but I see people who never act lijke this.
1. Common Courtesy-Be polite. Talk kindly and don't use slan or cuss words. Talk to them as if they were the president.
2.Be respectful. If they dont feel respect from you they won't hire you.
3. Thank the Employers for their time. Wouldn't you want thanked for the time you took out of your day to interview you?
4. Be flexible. If you are flexible they will return the favor. The world always throws curveballs at you so it is good to know you will be able to adapt to changes.
5. Look good. My roomate was applying for a job at Montana Wheat. She was dressed in jeans and a plain t shirt. I stopped her before she walked out the door and made her change. I told her that even if you are going to get a job for selling food. Show that you care and look nice so they are sold the minute you walk through the door.
I need to remember to talk calmly and in a way that they can undersatnd me. I need to avoid um's and run on sentences.
