There are so many ways to become professional and the slides talk about 5 tips for becoming one. What I learned in these workshops is that to have professionalism, you have to slowly build trust because it demonstrates expertise, competence, and reliability. All of these are good traits that a supervisor might look out for. To get this done you would have to get work done on time and honor your commitments. Another reason why it's so important is because it builds respect and enhances reputation. A supervisor would not want to hire a person who is…
