Professionalism - #6
NACE Career Readiness Competencies
According to the National Association of Colleges and Employers, professionalism is "knowing work environments differ greatly, understand and demonstrate effective work habits, and act in the interest of the larger community and workplace." Here are three steps you can take as a Duke to get career-ready:
- Be present and be prepared
- Use a planner or calendar to prioritize assignments and meet deadlines
- Review your social media through the eyes of a future employer to determine appropriateness
To find out more about programming offered by the CoB Professional Development and Engagement Office that is strategically aligned with the NACE Career Readiness Competencies, CLICK HERE.
