Learning Journal...What does it mean?

To be professional in any field of work takes knowledge. You need to basically have common sense, and then, actually be using it. The person has to really know what they are doing to become successful. They would also have to be extremely competent in their job. The person has to make themselves approachable and reasonable, and give respect to other people is also important. If you present yourself in a bussinesslike manner, whether it be in person, by phone, or in writting is essential. Make sure you always project a bussinesslike apperarence. You need to really know what your doing, do your homework and know exactly what your talking about. If you are a bullshitter, this can put your creditability down and jeopardize your professional relationships. I think personally with the schools today is that they are giving the students the tools that are needed, then it is up to each student to take those tools and make it work.
