In this paper I am going to be describing the Information Technology dress attire. I will be discussing what made the individual professional. I will also be talking about the career that I am going into and the attire that I have to wear while in that career field. I am going to be discussing what makes me a professional and what I learned from week 1. I chose to talk about the Information Technology and the ladies dress attire. This individual appeared as if she was wearing casual attire. According to the information it all depends on the dress code that your company has in
place. The lady in the picture appeared to be dress professional. Her hair was neat, nice dress shirt, no over obsessive rings or bracelets. This individual had to be knowledgeable about their career. She had to have good communication skills. She was also put under pressure to meet deadlines. With all of this being said, she still had a smile on her face as if she were happy. The career field that I am planning on entering into is the Health Information Technology field. The appropriate attire for my profession is casual dress attire. This means that khaki pants are authorized. Polo or button up shirts. No funky haircuts. Tattoos are prohibited and must be covered up (University of Nebraska Medical Center, 2014). A professional in my career field is someone who can do their job with extreme proficiency. They have to have medical knowledge and understand the biology and anatomy of the human body. They must be able to motivate themselves and move in a timely manner. I believe that I am a professional. I am able to dress and talk as a professional. I have all the attire of that is required to perform in my current field. I am confident and believe in the attention to detail. I have all the necessary skills to become a professional in my current field. It takes time and effort to become something. Once you know the standard, you are better capable of performing at a top level. In conclusion, my career field is a laid back field. Casual dress attire is allowed and it makes it more relaxing for the individual. The lady in the scenario was professional. She was dressed professional and looked professional. Her smile even indicated that she was enjoying her career. It takes a special person to become a professional in the Information Technology field.
