In all honesty jobs/employers should not be utilizing someone's social media to determine professionalism or whether or not they would hire someone or give them an interview because that is what they do on their off time from work or school. There are too many people that live double lives; people play a role on and offline. 

Professionalism is important for students because it fosters a strong work ethic, effective communication, and a positive reputation, all of which are essential for success in academic and future career endeavors.

Muy buenas noches a todos, tal vez para algunos muy buenos días, soy Maritza Placencia, desde el significado de profesionalismo la RAE nos dice: Cultivo o utilización de ciertas disciplinas, artes o deportes, como medio de lucro. Sin embargo no significa ello que se debe lucrar, enseño desde hace mucho en Universidades Públicas y la educación superior es relativamente gratis, la inversión lo hace el estado, sin embargo nuestros profesionales egresados buscan migrar inmediatamente a países desarrollados donde el sueldo es mucho más elevado y tenemos la gran dificultad de no poder retenerlos,  son profesionales destacados y desarrollan su capacidad de juicio crítico, resuelven problemas de salud y son muy solidarios, pero el hecho de poder ganar mejores sueldos hacen que migren. Surge entonces un dilema ético "sacrificio o deslealtad a tu país que invirtió en tu carrera profesional". 

A lo mejor también esto pasa en otros países de Latinoamérica. Podemos conversar sobre este problema donde enseñamos ética y profesionalismo con bases sólidas no sólo en ciencias, sino en prácticas sociales y humanitarias centradas en la persona. Para luego ver como se van y tenemos regiones fronterizas donde no tenemos profesionales. 

Bueno estimados docentes este hilo debe de continuar. Con mucho aprecio espero sus comentarios. 

Comment on John Detwiler's post: Hola John concuerdo contigo, muchas veces se da prioridad al conocimiento, a la productividad que el efecto de la persona en los entornos laborales e incluso en escenarios simulados, es muy importante su desempeño moral, su capacidad ética y las virtudes de puntualidad y decoro. 

También es importante mencionar que el profesionalismos también induce a su valoración no solo moral, sino también el reflejo de su capacidad de resolver problemas y la inversión en tenerlo como parte de nuestro equipo. 

Un gusto compartir con ustedes Maritza Placencia

Comment on Stephen Gabaldon's post: Stephen que buen mensaje, es muy cierto enseñar con el ejemplo y la ética no se predica se ejecuta en cada acto, y en cada escenario de nuestra vida. 

Un abrazo y realmente comparto tu pensamiento. 

Professionalism and work ethic are characteristics that aim to succeed in professional life. Some key characteristics of a good work ethic include reliability, dedication, discipline, integrity, responsibility, cooperation, and productivity.

Instructors can model professionalism for students by demonstrating good work ethics, such as being prepared for class, engaging in discussions, and providing prompt feedback. Professionalism is also demonstrated through effective communication and respectful treatment of students. 

Understanding professionalism is crucial for students, as it is required in all workplaces, and its lack can cost them their job or a promotion. Factors like communication, attire, attendance, peer interaction, customer interaction, and respect for company policies significantly impact long-term success.

By embracing professionalism, students can develop inclusive attitudes, embracing diverse perspectives and opinions in the classroom and future workplaces. Instructors must foster professionalism and good work ethic in the classroom, using activities to help students understand its significance and representative attitudes.

Professionalism needs to be explained to our students.  Many of them think it is just appearance.  Showing the importance of professionalism and the value, great things will come.

I do find it difficult to teach professionalism when students are in a variety of developmental stages of adulthood. I teach stacked classes with freshmen through seniors. Some take the topic very seriously others do not. 

It is very hard to teach professionalism without real-world experience like an internship or work-study.

Professionalism is a key component to getting a job and being successful at that job. It is not always how we dress but how we interact with others and the things we do and say. For me, I can apply this in my classroom when teaching students about the real world. Discussing with them what professionalism is. 

Professionalism and time management is very important in the development of the students. It will make or break their careers.

I work hard in my classroom to share all kinds of professionalism lessons with my students. It is more than just professional dress and I enjoyed learning in this unit. 

I love teaching professionalism in our ethics section, we offer mock interviews where we discuss not just interview skills but also professional dress. I'm going to start adding more open discussion to get more feedback from the students on their personal experiences with professional dress as well as offer more visual photo references.

Professionalism includes appropriate attire but also professionalism includes respecting yourself, your employer, and your colleagues.  Social media is also an area that one must act in a professional manner. 

As a hiring manager, after resumes have been accepted for having met the minimum requirements to hold the position, the most significant aspect of the interview is the professional component.  All aspects of the interview needs to reflect the individual's level of professionalism.  A weakness in this area can negate an applicant from consideration even if the applicant is more qualified than the others.

In discussion with local stakeholders and professional partners, it has become clear that issues of professionalism are on the forefront of concerns amongst business owners. These soft skills are significantly lacking and are having a negative impact on their bottom line in greater measure than under-trained employees. 

Our college requires military-like uniform inspections even though the real world seems to be more lenient.  We are stressing pride in appearance.

Professionalism is about more than a professional appearance. It is an attitude of respect and a willingness to work hard and be open-minded. It also means carrying yourself well both in person and online.

 

professionalism goes far beyond just looking nice and dressing nice.  I learned that professionalim means respect for yourself, your employer, and employees that you are working with.  

 

Implementing Professionalism is a key factor in Job readiness. Teaching students that professionalism means understanding the expectations and meeting the expectations.
