...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...

...everyone gets to deal with is extremely tough. From that assessment it made me realize that I need to relax, take care of my well-being, and try to eliminate whatever I can that might be adding on to my stress level which will be leading me to experience burnout. As for my stress level assessment, all the things that I clicked yes to are all part of life. Things that many or few experience. At a young age of losing my mother, I’ve become a person of handling circumstances that come my way better than most. I’ve been through and seen a lot that I’ve become a strong person. All these assessments made me realize that I need to slow down, and take a breather because I’m stressing more than I know. From this professional plan I plan to focus on both my personal and professional life. Some people separate their personal life from their work life, but I always seem to have trouble separating the two. If something is bothering me personally I always find myself being moody at work or sad. If I’m stressed out I don’t act all bubbly like I usually do. Personally I want to tackle the idea of having less stress. For professionally I want to be able to give 100% every day at my job. If something is stressing me out I work I want to be able to help myself release that stress from my work environment. Being in a customer service profession...

This was given due to the structure and depth of their specialised training and high level qualification. The knowledge gained and the ethical standards of those professionals in their practice. They were governed by professional bodies, adhering to high values and having professional autonomy. These professionals were held in high esteem by society as possessing specialised knowledge and skills, who were equipped to apply this knowledge and implement their skills in the interest of others. The concept of professionalism and having status of being a professional within the early year’s workforce has been a contentious issue. Early year workers were one of the many professions not recognised by society as being professional. Some say it is due to the lack of value society in general placed on the quality and standard of qualification they held in comparison to that of other professions working within early year’s settings; such as teachers or speech and language therapists who held degree led qualifications. Early year workers skills and knowledge were also undervalued which reflected in lower levels of pay with no prospect of moving up the career ladder.
