Being a Part-Time Professional, not just a Part-Time Employee

To be a part-time professional, not just a part-time employee, means that you have made a commitment to yourself and the company to be your best.

Some areas that make you a professional:

1. Respect Everyone’s Time: Show up on time and when you say you will.

2. Pay attention to the details: A bagger at a grocery store who ensures that the eggs, bread, don’t get smashed and cares if the bags are heavy, is a professional.

3. Have a positive attitude: A professional demonstrates that he or she wants to be working for the organization. He or she isn’t scowling at a customer or grumbling.

4. Take shared responsibility for communicating: Tell co-workers the status of a project when leaving for the day so that the co-worker aren’t left scrambling. (this is NOT leaving work undone); Ask managers/co-workers for an update after being out for a couple of days; If schedule is varied, communicate you’re availability to co-workers and customers
