Recommended: Importance of professionalism in the workplace

Professionalism is an important conduct of individuals in every job, career, and even some students while attending school. I understand professionalism to be the art of carrying oneself, handling, and resolving situations with the utmost integrity, confidence, and respect. By embodying professionalism while at your job, career, profession, and while attending school in many circumstances, it allows for situations, conflicts, and relationships to be in favor of a positive outcome.
Being professional is inclusive of the actions and behaviors of an individual. Actions will line up with what the individual says; showing integrity and trustworthiness to employers, customers, and those who are interacted with. A professional individual carries …show more content…

I knew I had work at 5:30pm so I made sure to set an alarm for 3:30pm to make sure we would make it back in-time for me to be at work on-time. By 3:30pm we were in the car heading back to my apartment in Tampa. However, there were 2 major accidents that added 30 minutes to our trip. Once I got back to my apartment, I then had to get dressed for work then drive an additional 45 minutes to Wesley Chapel (where I work)- google maps showed I wouldn’t get back to my apartment by 5:30pm. So, while driving out of St.Petersburg I made the call to my manager. She did not pick up on her personal phone so I left a voicemail with the concern and issue that I would not be able to get to work on –time. I then called my store’s phone number and talked to her. She was over-stressed, exhausted, and certainly did not hold back on delivering honesty with an attitude and complaint of me not being able to get there on-time and it’s affects. Though I apologized and said I would be getting there as soon as possible, I am certainly expecting a discussion on the situation and any possible consequences with her when we work together again. It was certainly unprofessional of me to leave the beach even earlier than planned due to any traffic or accidents, calling her personal cell phone and leaving a voicemail before calling the store directly, and allowing such a situation to occur at my job. I have certainly

Review: The Jungle By Upton Sinclair

1949 Words | 8 Pages

“..a man who was one minute late was docked an hour .. came ahead of time he got no pay for that..” (87). If an employee came to work one minute late, they would not get paid for that one hour. If an employee came early to work, they would not get paid for that time coming early. This working condition is unfair because sometimes the late or early arrival to work is due to transportation. The weather in Chicago is insane.

Those measly 10 turned into 40, I waited for 3 hours for someone who swore to be better, someone who acted as if nothing had happened.

Importance Of Accountability In The Military

983 Words | 4 Pages

I’ve realized that not being on time can cause a lot headaches and unnecessary punishments, not because it isn 't deserving but because it is easy to avoid. The standard for the Army for time hacks is ten minutes prior to the set time, this allows squad leaders and team leaders to get an accurate count of everybody and take count of anyone who isn’t there, it also gives the people who are prone to being late to be on “time” according to the actual set time. AR 600-8-6 is the regulation that cover accountability and strength reporting, which is important to the subject at hand because if a squad leader or team leader is missing personnel, it covers how it should be reported. Allthough there is no set regulation for certain things such as time hacks, they are command driven so whatever your command puts out a set time or if you were to miss the set time, it is up to your command on how to handle

Melkite Vs Byzantine Church

567 Words | 3 Pages

The Melkite Greek-Catholic Church is one of the 22 Eastern Catholic Churches. The history of the Melkite Church began when the doctrines of the Catholic Church were established in the first seven Ecumenical Councils. Many churches were formed over the years because not all Christians agreed to the points of doctrine, theology and the church structure. One council named the Council of Chalcedon, had a teaching that Jesus was both human and divine in nature. The Christians who accepted this teaching were named the ‘Melkites’, which comes from the Syriac word for king, hence the church was named the Melkite Catholic Church.
