2. 具備良好有效率的溝通技巧

In order to function properly as a professional, you have to be able to communicate efficiently. The most important part is being able to listen. Listening is an excellent skill that allows you to understand and take interest in what others say. It allows information to be exchanged easier and it is a skill sought out among all employees, no matter the profession. As important as it is to listen to others, you should also know when to voice yourself. Allow others to hear your decisions and opinions and you may be rewarded for your hard work and efforts. Communication is the key to your success no matter where you are in life.

3. 保持適切合宜的行為

You'll easily be viewed as immature and irresponsible if you're not able to maintain maturity in the area of work. This means you shouldn't play around and you should take your work seriously. Some ideal ways to behave may include the following.
• Do your work - You’ll want to remain a hard worker who is efficient and reliable.
• Be disciplined – Follow rules and do what is expected of you.
• Don’t get personal – It’s not professional to mix your personal life with your work life.
• Cooperate – It’s in your best interest to work well with those around you.

4. 不斷學習必要技能以保持成長

There are a lot of personal skills along with technical skills that are required to remain as a professional. Some personal skills may be ethical, responsibility, and diligence while some technical skills may be communications, service, and other profession-related skills. For example, if you're a working in IT, you should have a good knowledge on computer software and programming.

5. 務必守時

Time is of the essence. As a very scarce and important resource, employers value those who keep track of themselves and will find punctuality to be a highly appreciated trait. Create a habit of being on time. This means if you’re waking up too late, try sleeping earlier. If you’re suddenly delayed by an obstacle, try your best to anticipate it. You’ll want to avoid being late to anything because it’ll show how irresponsible you can be.

6. 凡事不要情緒化

Part of being professional is being able to separate your personal matters apart from your work life. This involves being able to remain calm and level-headed through obstacles and challenges that arise. There are good and bad emotions that arise in a professional workplace. Some good emotions include happiness, gratitude, interest,and pride while some bad emotions you’ll want to avoid are sadness, frustration, nervousness, and stubbornness.

7. 具備團隊合作精神

People rarely work alone nowadays. People have worked together since the beginning of time in order to get what they want. Nothing has changed about that and you’ll need other people to get what you want. The same can be said vice versa. Give and you shall receive. There is no such thing as an independent person so help those around you and they’ll help you.
