...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....

...placed on a back burner and sometimes even forgotten completely. Empowerment is an important part of the human services profession and therefore the barriers that affect empowerment associated with human services need to be looked at and addressed. Barriers Associated with Empowerment Within human services empowerment is a key aspect of helping individuals seeking help. Human services professionals work with individuals in need of help that the individual is unable to achieve on his or her own. Where human service professionals have an array of information and guidance available to him or her, clients that seek out assistance from human services professionals do not. This is where empowerment begins to take shape and where human services individuals start encountering barriers in the attempts of empowerment. Barriers become present in many different shapes and forms when empowerment is concerned. One of the biggest barriers that a human service professional encounters in regards to empowerment is resistance. When human services professionals begin helping individuals the human service professional works on the individual’s self-esteem and empowers the individual to become independent. Many times this empowerment is met with resistance caused by the fear that an individual has with the change that will occur. This resistance can be a large barrier in the way of empowerment for the client and the human services...

...Continuing Professional Development ent (CPD) is a growing area of interest. If we interpret the term ‘professional’ quite loosely, then we can include not just the traditional regulated professions such as medicine and law under this heading but also include management and similar fields of work. The requirement to continue to keep up to date has been the starting point for CPD. In medicine, for instance, there are new drugs and procedures appearing all the time. Doctors need to keep on top of this and therefore they need to continue to learn. Indeed the UK Government is proposing that General Practitioners will have to be revalidated every five years in order to maintain their licence to practice. However the emphasis on just knowledge learning has broadened over recent years. Now we find the pressure is for professionals to increase their skills and capabilities to cope with a changing world. ... Read More - Please log in or register to read this content. Membership is free. We see this area as clearly strategic as the best CPD is a process of continuing to learn in one’s professional arena for as long as one is employed in that profession. It cannot be just a short term, quick fix activity. However many professional bodies still see it in the latter terms. This is especially so when CPD means no more than attending some seminars or conferences in the year and ticking off boxes on the form you send to the professional body and then getting the OK for having done your CPD...

...clinical nursing is no exception in this regard. Moreover, professional behaviors are the true manifestation of professional attitudes and hence the importance of professionalism in clinical nursing can not be over emphasized. Cambridge Dictionary defines professionalism as follows: “Having the type of job that is respected because it involves a high level of education and training” OR “Having the qualities that connect you with trained and skilled people, such as effectiveness, skill, organization, and seriousness of manner” (Cambridge Dictionary). Therefore it becomes crystal clear that adhering to defined rules, regulations and procedures is the utmost pre-requisite to professionalism because of which it holds paramount significance for all professions including clinical nursing. Without specific knowledge and skilled training pertinent to a field, the true essence of professionalism can not be materialized. Attributes of Professionalism: There are numerous vital elements of professionalism out of which following are some of the essential attributes of professionalism: 1. Specialized Knowledge: Specialized knowledge is the foremost characteristic of a professional. It highlights such professionals who endeavor hard to enhance and improve their skills through degrees and certifications that serve as the stepping stone for specialized knowledge (RNAO, 2007). 2. Competency: Another powerful characteristic of professionals is...

...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...

...Kevin Keliipio Dee Forbes AVS-127 4 October 2015 Learning Goals Response Paper: Guy R. Maher wrote an article titled, “Building the right attitude”. It is a reflection of his experience when Mr. Maher went to the Robinson Safety course, a requirement for pilots that want to become a CFI for any Robinson aircraft. Mr. Maher observed the vast majority of the group had an attitude. The attitude he is talking about is the attitude that they know more than what is being taught. But Mr. Maher went a step further, he asked himself if they act like this here, would they act like this at their profession? This got me thinking of my actions on subjects that I find, “pointless” or topics that I have extensive knowledge in. When I look back to my first week of school, I realize that in every class I enrolled in, I had that “attitude” Mr. Maher wrote about. I thought I knew it all, didn’t give a care in the world to the subject and actually asked to test out of certain classes. My view changed when I was given this assignment. I started to do research on adaptability and how students react to topics they feel will not benefit them in their profession. I found that people who neglect certain topics, generate a routine or habit that limits personal growth. Studies found that people limiting themselves to what they are interested in will neglect opportunities that will impact their chosen field of interest. Like Jim Palmer, a senior HR pilot recruiter said, “it is between...

...life. Schultz, D. (2010). Ethics Regulation Across Professions. Public Integrity, 12(2), 161-172. doi:10.2753/PIN1099-9922120204 Gifting, a private act of friendship and charity among individuals that has deep cross-cultural roots, is increasingly seen as a morally problematic practice in many professions. Gifting done within the context of employment is now the subject of regulation in many professions as part of a broader effort to promote independence, impartiality, and objectivity. Based upon a survey of more than twenty professional associations and fields of employment, this commentary examines the historical roots of gifting, why it poses an ethical problem, and how many organizations across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors are adopting policies to address this practice. Overall, three conclusions are reached. First, because gifting creates a sense of dependency, reciprocity, or indebtedness, its practice within a professional setting causes potential or real conflicts of interest, regardless of the size or type of the gift. Second, because of the problems that gifting poses, many professions have already recognized the need to address the practice. Finally, the field and practice of public administration needs to address...
