CS204-15: Professional Presence
Unit 2 Assignment
Part 1: Watch and Analysis
The closest slide based on my profession and career goal was slide #2: The Informational Technology Professional. The slide shows a woman at a computer dressed business casual. From the picture she seemed to be professional. She was at her desk. She looked very alert and helpful. The description said she should be knowledgeable, have good communication skills, and be able be able to complete tasks in a timely manner
What made the individual professional was her overall presentation of self. She was neat. She looked focused on the task at hand. She was smiling which said to me, that she would give good customer service. She didn’t have on any revealing clothing. She didn’t have any revealing tattoos or body piercings
There were no aspects, that I saw, that were unprofessional. She was neat and clean and seemed pleasant. She looked confident and knowledgeable.
Part 2: Self Analysis
The Appropriate attire for an individual in the beauty industry is dress casual. For most Cosmetologists, Makeup Artists and Nail Technicians the uniform is black. Estheticians wear all black with a white jacket. Most professional high end salons and spas wear this.
Beauty professionals have a professional code of conduct that we must follow. All beauty schools teach this standard code. These are some of the skills and attributes that I practice every day as a spa professional
You must be actively seeking to update knowledge and improve your professional skills in order to maintain a quality standard of service, reflecting on my own practice, identifying development needs and undertaking relevant development activities. You must stay up date with latest trends.
You have to be willing to accept responsibility and be accountable for professional decisions or actions, welcome evaluation of your work and recognize the need when it is appropriate to refer to another professional specialist.
