Working for the company was a major change for me since it was my first civilian job. Transitioning into the civilian work force was my first step in ensuring that I prove myself and to the company that I am capable to lead.

...Professional Presence Unit 2 Assignment Glenda Emerson Kaplan University Professor Messinger, MBA, PMP. CS204-10 September 2, 2014 Because my career field consists of medical, criminology and legal situations, I had to take into account the dress code and behavioral characteristics of three of the scenarios listed and merge them together. In Medical Professional, Law Firm, and Law Enforcement, I found that all of them showed professionalism with their attire as well as behaviorisms. The Medical professional was appropriately dressed in scrubs and smiles with a very approachable and empathetic visage. As a Psychologist, wearing scrubs will not be a necessity for me except possibly in very rare clinical hospitalization occasions. Additionally, as I will be working within the court system, I reviewed the scenario for Professional Law firm. In this scenario the dress is very business professional and conservative. It also requires a certain amount of communication skills, assertiveness, tactfulness, correct posture and excellent vocabulary skills. Last I reviewed the scenario for Law Enforcement. In this scenario we find uniforms are generally worn, there are strong ethics and knowledge of law and notes of authority within one’s body language. In not one of these scenarios did I detect any unprofessional aspects of professionalism or presentation. My chosen career field is that of a Clinical and Forensic...

...1. Do you think Mindy dresses appropriately for a professional interview? No, I do not think Mindy is dress appropriately for a professional interview. Mindy look like she is dress to go work at a tattoo shop with the piercings, and tattoos she have. I believe that Mindy’s dress is inappropriate for the medical facility because her hair is colored different bright colors, she has facial piercings, her clothes do not cover her body and undergarments are showing, she has on too much make up, she is wearing dangling earrings and bracelet, her tattoos are not covered up and she has on open toed shoes. Most employers have a standard for dress codes. If she is not breaking any of the dress codes, then nothing can be done to make her dress more professionally. The numbers I choose that would best fit her for a professional interview is 1, 2, and 1. 2. Does personal "style" detract from the medical facility's air of professionalism? Mindy’s personal “style” does detract from the facilities air of professionalism. She looks like she should be working in a tanning salon or a tattoo parlor, not a professional medical clinic. 3. What are your thoughts on how and why it is important to project a professional image at the interview? In order to project a professional image, one should follow the dress code established by the business. You should be polite and helpful in any situation presented to you. You should use tact when talking to others and be respectful of others opinions....

...What makes a professional stand apart from others in his or her field? There are the usual qualifications of education and experience; however, true professionals don’t stop there especially when it comes to learning. The one thing we can be certain of is change and any informed professional will always be aware of what is trending and what changes are coming not only in the field of law but also with clients, technology, and events that could impact their practice. I was struck by the importance of soft skills development for legal professionals when reading a recent blog post which begins, “I had lunch with a lawyer recently and left wondering if the guy had been raised by wolves. His table manners were abysmal.”[1] The writer, also a lawyer,...

...government’s efforts to build a Knowledge Economy? I believe the occupation group of “Professionals” will drive the UAE Government’s effort to building a Knowledge Economy. The reason I believe Professionals are the ones driving this, is because I feel although knowledge and Training are provided by the Government on a continuous basis, there is a lack of professionalism in the individuals working for the UAE organizations. In addition, unfortunately whenever there is an existing project, outsourcing is always required especially when it comes to professional positions, therefore I feel the UAE’s focus must be on their nationals in order to promote this type of occupation group & avoid the dependence on expats. Although UAE is diversified due to the high levels of tourism, and would like their organizations to have the best quality professionals, they should not over-look their nationals who would most likely be willing to occupy higher level positions even in the Private sector. 2. Which major occupation group would you target to increase Emiratization and why? In my opinion, I would target the occupation group of Technicians and Associate Professionals due to the following reasons: * High number of outsourced candidates in the technical field. * Lack of UAE nationals who are considered skilled Technicians. * Constant need for the groups of Technicians and Associate professionals both in the Government and the Private sectors. UAE has reached a high level of technicality...
